Abstract:

Transport airplanes are required to be assessed for ditching capability in the FAA type-certification process. This includes the airplane's emergency evacuation potential, i.e., the ability of passengers to escape the airplane after it lands on water. Actual emergency data to support ditching certification are not available; there have been questions as to whether evacuation flow rates onto land are appropriate for use in ditching-related flotation time computations. Simulated evacuations from platforms into the CAMI survival tank were conducted to obtain passenger flow rate data that can be used to support the certification process.
