Where are the life lines installed?

• A. Inside the frames of the overwing window exits
• B. In the cockpit
• C. In the aft cargo hold
• D. On the cabin ceiling

Answer: (A)

Life lines are part of the evacuation equipment used when evacuating through the overwing exits. They’re stored inside the frames of the overwing window exits so they’re immediately accessible the moment the exit is opened. Pulling the line from the exit frame allows the crew to stretch and anchor it along the wing, giving passengers a handhold as they move from the exit, across the wing, to the next exit or away from the aircraft. This placement keeps them exactly where they’re needed during an emergency, rather than being tucked away in a cockpit, cargo hold, or the cabin ceiling.
