Which exit is used to evacuate from the flight deck?

• A. CREW ESCAPE HATCH
• B. MCD
• C. GSD
• D. OVERWING EXIT

Answer: (A)

In an emergency, the flight deck has a dedicated way to evacuate that is separate from passenger exits: the Crew Escape Hatch. This hatch is designed specifically for cockpit crew, located in the cockpit area, and opened to allow rapid egress from the flight deck, often onto the wing or to the ground. The other doors are not used for evacuating the flight deck. The main cabin door is for passengers to escape from the cabin, overwing exits serve cabin passengers, and a ground service/gally door is for servicing the aircraft, not for flight crew evacuation. So the Crew Escape Hatch is the exit used to evacuate from the flight deck.
