After exiting, what should the window ABPs do?

• A. Stay at the bottom of the wing to assist passengers and move away from the aircraft
• B. Stand near the exit and direct traffic
• C. Return to the cabin
• D. Climb back onto the wing

Answer: (A)

Window ABPs are tasked with assisting people who are evacuating via wing exits. After passengers have exited, their job is to stay on the wing and help move evacuees away from the aircraft, ensuring the exit path remains clear and that everyone is directed toward a safe area. Being at the bottom of the wing keeps them out of the main flow near the fuselage while still close enough to help if someone needs guidance or support. This positioning also avoids interfering with the exit itself and gives ground responders room to operate.

Standing near the exit to direct traffic could cause congestion right at the exit and slow down the evacuation. Returning to the cabin would remove their outside support when it’s most needed. Climbing back onto the wing would put them in danger and disrupt the evacuation flow.
