If the primary exit is blocked by debris and fire, what is your secondary exit?

In emergency evacuation scenarios, the primary exit may become inaccessible due to various hazards such as debris or fire. The secondary exit must be an alternative that allows for safe and efficient evacuation from the aircraft.

The Overwing Exits (OWWE) serve as designated emergency exits that can be utilized when primary exits are compromised. These exits are strategically located to provide access to both the front and rear sections of the aircraft and can often be opened independently without reliance on other doors which may be blocked or unsafe.

In contrast, while the rear service door, crew exit, and front main door could potentially be used for evacuation, they may present risks similar to those associated with the primary exit, especially in situations involving fire or debris. The design and location of overwing exits make them ideal options during emergencies, reinforcing their role as a reliable secondary exit.

Overall, utilizing the overwing exits maximizes passenger safety and enhances the likelihood of a successful evacuation when faced with compromised conditions at primary exits.
