How many overwing exits does an A319 have?

• A. 1
• B. 3
• C. 2
• D. 4

Answer: (C)

Emergency exit layout and why there are two overwing exits on the A319. Overwing exits are mid-cabin escape doors positioned above the wing to provide additional egress routes in an evacuation. The A319 is configured with four main doors (two on each side) plus two overwing exits, one on each side. This arrangement ensures enough capacity and reach to the wing area for a quick, orderly evacuation while keeping the fuselage length and cabin design practical for a smaller narrow-body aircraft. A single overwing exit would not supply sufficient egress paths for typical loads, and having four overwing exits would add unnecessary weight and complexity for this aircraft size. So the standard configuration uses two overwing exits, one per side.
