Which flotation device is provided at passenger seats on the A350?

• A. Universal life vest at each passenger seat
• B. Single chamber life vest at each crew seat
• C. Slide/rafts at all doors
• D. Life jackets are not provided

Answer: (A)

Flotation at passenger seats is a universal life vest provided for every passenger. This one-size-fits-all device is stored under each seat and is worn and inflated if needed during a water landing. It ensures quick access and use for everyone on board, independent of passenger size. Other flotation equipment on the aircraft, like slides/rafts at doors, is separate evacuation gear used in ditching scenarios, and crew seats typically have different vest configurations, not the passenger’s universal vest. So the best choice is a universal life vest at each passenger seat.
