When should you deploy a slide raft versus a dedicated life raft?

Explanation:
In overwater evacuations, exits are equipped with slide-rafts that automatically deploy when the door is opened, providing both a rapid exit path and flotation for passengers. A dedicated life raft is used only when the slide is unavailable or when the aircraft configuration requires separate rafts at certain exits. In those cases, the life raft is deployed manually from its pack. So the standard approach is automatic slide-raft deployment at exits during overwater evacuations, with life rafts used when slides aren’t available or in special configurations.
