The lifeline is located in which area of the aircraft?

• A. In the OHB
• B. In the cockpit
• C. In the lavatory
• D. In the cabin floor

Answer: (A)

Lifelines are emergency equipment kept where they can be quickly grabbed at the exit during an evacuation. On an A319/A320, they’re stored in the overhead bin near the exit so the crew can reach them immediately as the door is opened. This location protects the lifeline from damage and keeps it clean and ready for use, without delaying access. The other locations aren’t appropriate: the cockpit is not a place for passenger safety gear, the lavatory would delay retrieval and could be contaminated or blocked, and storing it on the cabin floor would create a tripping hazard and complicate rapid access.
