Which of the following items is listed as a flotation device for the 767D-400 ER?

• A. Universal life vests
• B. Comfort + and Main cabin seat cushions
• C. Double lane slide rafts at doors 1,2,3,4 L/R
• D. Single lane slides at doors 3L/R

Answer: (A)

Flotation devices are equipment designed to keep a person afloat in water. On the 767D-400 ER, the standard individual flotation device provided to passengers is the universal life vest. These are the officially listed items you’d find in the passenger safety equipment inventory for overwater operations. Seat cushions, even if they can float experimentally, are not considered certified flotation devices in the aircraft’s safety listing. The door slides described (double or single lane, with or without rafts) are evacuation devices that can function as rafts, but their primary role is to evacuate the cabin, not to serve as the designated flotation devices carried for each passenger.
