Widebody Aircraft Week 5 Practice Test

Which statement is true about doors 3L/R on the 767?

Doors 3L/R are always armed Doors hinge on bottom Doors open inward toward cabin Doors have no emergency slides

Correct Answer:

Doors 3L/R are always armed

Explanation:

Arming status of emergency exits is about making sure the evacuation slides are ready to deploy the moment a door is opened in an emergency. For the 767, the rear pair of passenger doors (3L and 3R) are configured so their evacuation slides are always armed when the door is closed and the aircraft is in passenger service. This ensures rapid, reliable deployment of the slides without requiring separate arming steps before every flight, which is crucial for the primary evacuation routes. The other options don’t fit the typical door design: doors on these aircraft usually hinge on the side and swing outward, not from the bottom; they open outward away from the cabin rather than inward toward it; and they do have emergency slides as part of their exit capability.
