How many O.W.E exits are there on the Boeing 737-800 and 737-900 family?

• A. 2
• B. 3
• C. 4
• D. 5

Answer: (C)

Over-Wing Exits are additional escape routes used to meet required evacuation capacity. On the 737-800 and 737-900 family, there are two over-wing exits on each side of the fuselage, giving a total of four OWE exits. This arrangement helps ensure there are enough exits for quick evacuation in emergencies, even if some doors aren’t usable. The other counts would either understate the actual layout (two) or add exits that these variants don’t include (five), while three would imply an uneven or nonstandard configuration.
