Which flotation device is specified for all doors on the 767-300ER 76L/Z (4 doors)?

• A. Double Lane Slide Rafts at All Doors
• B. Remote raft
• C. Life jackets only
• D. Overhead flotation cushions

Answer: (A)

Flotation for every exit must be built into the door system so passengers can evacuate quickly and stay afloat in water. For the 767-300ER configured with four doors, the standard at each door is a double-lane slide raft. This means when a door is opened, the inflatable slide component doubles as a raft with two buoyant lanes, giving fast egress and stable, enough flotation area for people to gather on the water. Having a double-lane raft at every door ensures consistency: no matter which door is used, passengers have immediate access to a combined slide and life raft, which is crucial in a ditching scenario where time and capacity matter. Remote rafts, life jackets alone, or overhead flotation cushions don’t provide the same ready-to-use, door-specific flotation and the ability to evacuate en masse onto a buoyant platform.
