In the 787-8, where is the personal wheelchair stored?

• A. AC-R last row MC for 1st, then AC-L last row MC for 2nd
• B. AC-L last row MC for 1st, then AC-R last row MC for 2nd
• C. LH closet BC
• D. AC-R first row MC for 1st, then AC-L first row MC for 2nd

Answer: (A)

In the 787-8, personal wheelchairs are stored in designated stowage in the main cabin, positioned at the last row on both sides. The intended arrangement is one wheelchair in the AC-R (right) last-row main cabin, and the second wheelchair in the AC-L (left) last-row main cabin. This placement keeps the wheelchairs out of the main aisles during boarding and evacuation while remaining accessible to crew near the rear doors for retrieval or assistance. The LH closet BC isn’t used for this purpose because it isn’t a designated mobility-aid storage area and could obstruct closet use or impede access. Placing wheelchairs in the first row would also interfere with passenger flow and safety.
