Where is the assist space for No 2?

• A. L2 between L2 jump-seat and L2 door frame facing the AFT of the a/c.
• B. L2 between L2 jump-seat and L2 door frame facing FORWARD
• C. L3 between L3 jump-seat and L3 door frame facing AFT
• D. Between No2 exit and crew seat

Answer: (A)

Assist space is the designated clearance area next to an emergency exit where a crew member can stand, access the door, and help passengers during an evacuation without blocking the exit path. For No. 2, the proper space is the gap between the L2 jump-seat and the L2 door frame on the left side of the aircraft, with the occupant facing aft. This position provides immediate access to the No.2 exit and keeps the jump-seat area clear of the doorway swing, while allowing the crew member to monitor and guide passengers toward the exit. Facing aft also gives good visibility of the cabin behind as the exit is used. Placing the space elsewhere would either obstruct the exit or place the assistant in a less effective stance for coordinating evacuees.
