Which types of exits are classified as cabin exits?

• A. Floor exits and ceiling exits
• B. Window exits
• C. Door exits and window exits
• D. Door exits only

Answer: (C)

Exits in the cabin are all the ways passengers can evacuate the cabin in an emergency. The categories you learn are door exits and window exits. Door exits are the main cabin doors equipped with slides, while window exits are the emergency windows (such as overwing exits) that can be opened or removed to provide a path to safety. Floor exits and ceiling exits aren’t standard cabin exit types on commercial airliners, so they aren’t counted among cabin exits. That’s why door exits together with window exits is the correct classification.
