Introduction: Current Procedure
Procedure requires compliance with 90 sec evacuation benchmark - currently demonstrated using full-scale evacuation demonstration.
- Difficulties with this procedure include:
- Ethical: e.g. risk of injury, questionable realism;
- Practical: e.g. only a single trial is performed;
- Financial: e.g. wide body trial costs ~ $2 million.
- VLT aircraft compound these difficulties.
