If the MCD is blocked, which exit is designated for flight deck use on the CRJ 700?

• A. Crew escape hatch
• B. Overwing exit
• C. Main cabin door
• D. Aft service door

Answer: (A)

When the main cabin door is blocked, the flight crew use the dedicated exit for the cockpit—the crew escape hatch. This hatch is specifically provided for pilots to evacuate quickly without relying on passenger doors. The other exits (overwing, main cabin door, and aft service door) are designed for passenger access or service and are not designated for flight deck egress. The CRJ 700 includes this crew escape hatch to ensure a safe, immediate exit for the pilots when the primary door isn’t usable.
