How many emergency flashlights are required in the forward entry and aft stowage compartments?

The requirement for emergency flashlights in the forward entry and aft stowage compartments is set to ensure that flight attendants have sufficient lighting available for emergency situations. Installing four emergency flashlights allows for redundancy and accessibility in both compartments, ensuring that if one flashlight were to be malfunctioning or out of battery, the others can still provide illumination. This is especially important during any emergency evacuation procedures, where visibility can be critical for the safety of passengers and crew.

Having a compliant number of emergency flashlights also supports regulatory requirements and safety protocols established by Southwest Airlines, which are designed to ensure preparedness in any situation.
