Where are slide rafts installed on the A330-200 doors 1, 2, and 4L/R?

• A. At doors 1, 2, and 4L/R
• B. At doors 2 and 4 only
• C. At doors 1 and 3
• D. At doors 3 and 4

Answer: (A)

Raft-equipped evacuation slides are fitted to exits that will be used for water ditching, so they serve as life rafts as well as slides. On the A330-200, these raft slides are provided at the forward and aft main doors on both sides—doors 1, 2, and 4 (left and right). The mid/wing exit (door 3) is a smaller exit that doesn’t carry a raft and is designed for land evacuations. This arrangement ensures flotation at the primary exits during water evacuations without adding raft equipment to the smaller overwing-type exit.
