Where are the assist spaces for the A350 doors?

• A. Forward
• B. Aft
• C. Forward or Aft
• D. Above the door

Answer: (C)

The spaces created to assist evacuation around the door are placed in front of or behind the door. On the A350, these forward or aft assist spaces ensure there’s a clear, unobstructed area for passengers and crew to move, for the slide to deploy properly, and for anyone needing assistance during egress. The space above the door isn’t used for this purpose because the door and its mechanisms, along with cabin structure and equipment overhead, occupy that area. So the best answer is that assist spaces can be forward or aft of the door.
