Where are survival kits stored?

• A. In raft
• B. In overhead bin
• C. In cargo compartment
• D. In passenger seat pockets

Answer: (A)

Survival kits are stored with the life raft because they’re part of the ditching survival setup and must be waterproof and immediately accessible after evacuation. The raft is the primary means of evacuation onto water, so placing the survival gear inside or attached to the raft ensures it stays dry and easy to reach once you’re in the liferaft. Storing them in overhead bins, cargo compartments, or passenger seat pockets would hinder access, especially after water exposure, and these locations aren’t designed for quick retrieval during an emergency.
