How many exit signs are located throughout the cabin?

• A. Twelve
• B. Eighteen
• C. Twenty
• D. Twenty four

Answer: (B)

Exit signs are placed to clearly identify every exit and to guide you along the route to the nearest exit in an emergency. Each exit has an illuminated sign, and there are additional exit-path signs along the cabin to show the safest route to those exits. In this SkyWest configuration, there are six exits (doors and overwing), plus a series of exit-path indicators spaced throughout the cabin. When you count both the door signs and all the path signs, you get eighteen in total. So eighteen is the total number of exit signs in this setup. Counting only the door signs would undercount, while adding more signs than are installed would overstate the actual cabin indicators.
