In the 787-9, where is the personal wheelchair stored?

• A. LH closet BC
• B. AC-R last row MC
• C. MC RH closet
• D. BC RH closet

Answer: (A)

A personal wheelchair on the 787-9 is stored in the left-hand closet labeled BC. This placement keeps the mobility aid out of the main aisle and near the cabin crew’s access point, making it quick to retrieve during boarding, deplaning, or an emergency while not obstructing escape routes. The other locations would either place the chair on the right side or in deeper cabin areas where access is slower and could interfere with passenger flow and evacuation. Placing it in the left-hand BC closet balances accessibility with safety and cabin layout requirements.
