What should ABPs at overwing exits B and E do after ABPs at A and F have exited?

• A. To go out next, stand on the wing just outside the exit (not blocking the exit), assist passengers out of the exit and direct them to slide off the wing.
• B. Remain at the exit and shout for passengers to remain calm.
• C. Climb to the tail of the aircraft to guide passengers.
• D. Ignore the passengers and secure the exit.

Answer: (A)

The important idea here is how ABPs coordinate the evacuation at overwing exits by taking turns and actively assisting passengers. Once the ABPs at the adjacent exits have cleared the doorway, the next ABPs should move out onto the wing and position themselves just outside the exit so they aren’t blocking the opening. From there, they help passengers out of the exit and guide them to slide off the wing in an orderly manner. This keeps the flow moving smoothly and prevents bottlenecks on the wing. Standing inside the exit, shouting, or climbing elsewhere would disrupt the process, and ignoring passengers or trying to “secure” the exit isn’t part of the ABP role in an evacuation.
