In a ditching, which group of passengers should evacuate using 2L/2R on the 777-300ER?

• A. Zone C (rows 16-25)
• B. Zone A (rows 1-15)
• C. Zone B (rows 26-40)
• D. All zones

Answer: (A)

In a ditching, where timing and orderly access to life-saving equipment are crucial, exits are assigned to the passenger groups that can reach them most quickly and safely. The 2L/2R doors are positioned to serve the forward cabin, so the passengers seated in the front rows have the shortest, most direct route to those exits and to the life rafts deployed from that area. Evacuating the front group through 2L/2R helps ensure rapid raft deployment and avoids congestion at other doors, which are intended for the other zones further back. Therefore, the passengers in the front section (rows 1–15) are the ones expected to evacuate via 2L/2R.
