The lavatory door can be unlocked from the exterior.

The lavatory door can be unlocked from the exterior.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Sometimes
• D. Not at all

Answer: (A)

Exterior access to the lavatory is built into the design so crew can unlock and enter from the outside in emergencies or when servicing the cabin. Passengers may lock the door from inside for privacy, but there is an exterior release mechanism that allows entry if someone inside cannot open it or in a safety situation. The method varies by aircraft, but the capability to unlock from the outside exists on standard configurations, so the statement is true.
