Which seats on the E-190 do not have movable arm rests?

• A. Bulkhead
• B. Bulkhead AND Exit Row
• C. Exit Row
• D. Aft

Answer: (B)

Movable arm rests are limited in places where cabin safety and structure drive a fixed design. On the E-190, the seats at the bulkhead and the seats adjacent to emergency exits are built with fixed arm rests. Bulkhead seats sit directly against a wall or partition, so there’s no space for a movable arm rest to operate without hitting the wall or interfering with the forward area. Exit-row seats are near the door and the evacuation path; having fixed arm rests helps ensure the exit aisle remains clear and the seat width stays consistent with the door and slide mechanisms, facilitating a quick, unobstructed evacuation. So, the seats that do not have movable arm rests are the bulkhead seats and the exit-row seats.
