Which locations are the Emergency Escape Lighting System switch associated with?

• A. Overhead Bins
• B. Cabin and Flight Deck
• C. Cockpit only
• D. Cargo hold

Answer: (B)

Emergency escape lighting must be controllable from the areas where people move and evacuate, so the switch for this system is placed in both the cabin and the flight deck. This lets crew in either location activate or test the lighting to guide passengers to exits when normal power is lost. Relying on a switch in just one area would hinder evacuation in the other, which is why the cabin crew panel and the cockpit panel both include access to the system. The option about overhead bins is not a control location, cockpit-only would leave passengers unable to direct themselves from the cabin, and cargo hold controls aren’t the standard access points for this system, which is intended to illuminate the main escape paths throughout the cabin and cockpit.
