Who is responsible for the overwing evacuation?

• A. Passengers
• B. Flight Attendants
• C. Pilots
• D. Ground Crew

Answer: (A)

Overwing evacuations rely on people to physically get out of the aircraft. The cabin crew open and supervise the exits, give commands, and guide passengers, but the actual act of leaving the airplane through the overwing exit is performed by the passengers themselves. Pilots and ground crew aren’t involved in the in-flight evacuation, and the crew’s role is to ensure the exit is usable and to direct people safely. So, the passengers are responsible for carrying out the overwing evacuation under the guidance of the flight attendants.
