Which term refers to the escape slide used for evacuations, constructed of rubberized canvas and inflates when deployed?

• A. Slide
• B. Stow
• C. Pushback
• D. Runway

Answer: (A)

The term describes the inflatable device used for passenger evacuations. Its description—made of rubberized canvas and inflating when deployed—fits the typical escape slide, which deploys from the door and rapidly inflates to create a usable ramp for exiting the aircraft. The other terms refer to different things: stow is about storing equipment, pushback is the maneuver to move the aircraft away from the gate, and runway is the surface used for takeoff and landing. So the term that matches the device used in evacuations is slide.
