The window exit must be opened to expose the life lines. An attachment ring is provided on each wing for securing the life lines. What must the window exit be?

• A. Opened
• B. Closed
• C. Locked
• D. Removed

Answer: (A)

The window exit must be opened to expose the life lines and the wing attachment rings. The life lines are stored behind the exit and can only be accessed when the window is opened, then anchored to the ring on the wing for a secure path across the wing during evacuation. If the exit is kept closed, locked, or removed, you cannot reach or deploy the life line, making the escape across the wing unsafe. Opening the window exit is the necessary step to access and secure the life lines.
