The emergency flashlight on the CRJ 200 is located in the FA jumpseat stowage area.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. In the cockpit
• D. In the overhead bin

Answer: (A)

Emergency equipment must be quickly accessible to the crew during an emergency, so on the CRJ 200 the emergency flashlight is placed in the flight attendant jumpseat stowage area. This ensures a flight attendant can grab it immediately from their seat and use it to illuminate the cabin and the exits if cabin lighting fails or there is smoke. Placing the flashlight in the cockpit or in an overhead bin would hinder fast access and delay guiding passengers to safety, which is why the jumpseat stowage location is chosen. Therefore, the statement is true.
