How many flight deck escape hatch are on the A220?

• A. One
• B. Two
• C. Three
• D. Four

Answer: (A)

There is one flight deck escape hatch on the A220. In emergency situations, pilots rely on this single hatch as a last-resort exit. It’s located in the cockpit area and is designed to be opened from inside; once opened, the crew can use an escape rope and steps to move out to the outside area, such as the wing, depending on the circumstances. Modern jet designs typically use a single cockpit escape hatch to keep the system simple and weight-efficient while meeting safety requirements. Having more than one hatch would add unnecessary complexity and weight for this aircraft, so the correct count is one.
