Do all exits have slide/liferafts?

Do all exits have slide/liferafts?

• A. True
• B. Some exits lack slides
• C. Only main exits have slides
• D. False

Answer: (D)

Not every exit on a Boeing 787 is equipped with an inflatable slide or liferaft. Main passenger doors carry slides that can also act as life rafts in a ditching scenario, but other exits, such as some overwing exits, typically rely on escape ropes or have no slide device at all. Regulatory and aircraft configuration differences mean you can’t assume every exit has a slide or raft. So the statement is not true.
