Which feature on the E-190 is equipped with an escape rope?

• A. Flight Deck Windows
• B. Overwing exits
• C. Doors with slide
• D. Passenger cabin doors

Answer: (A)

Escape capabilities for the crew rely on a dedicated exit path from the cockpit when doors can’t be used. On the E-190, that path is the flight deck window escape rope, which is stored with or in the flight deck windows and can be deployed for the pilots to descend safely outside the aircraft. This is why the flight deck windows are the correct feature to have an escape rope. Overwing exits and passenger doors are equipped with slides (or other passenger evacuation means), not escape ropes, so they aren’t the source of the rope in this aircraft.
