2A.25  Prepared Emergency Landing/Ditching - Procedures (Cabin Safety Technical Directive No. 201 SUPPORT MODULE P - Emergency Preparation/Support Module-Ditching)

NOTE:  The carrier must develop procedures in a format that crew members may use when preparing for an emergency landing or ditching that will serve as a checklist. The selected format must include responsibilities of each crew member for the purpose of cabin; passenger; galley; and self preparation. All passenger advisory announcements must be included.

2A.26  Exit Priorities - Land/Ditching - each aircraft type

2A.27  Post Evacuation and Survival

  • Responsibilities of crew members (e.g. grouping passengers, first aid, etc.)
  • Survival priorities (e.g. shelter, first aid, water, food, etc.)
  • Hazards inherent in different environments as applicable to the air carrier's operation. (e.g. Sea, Desert, Jungle, Wilderness, and Arctic)
  • Identify on board equipment and supplies that can enhance survival.
  • Survival equipment
  • Signalling and recovery techniques

NOTE:  Most accidents occur during take-off and landing, therefore, in keeping with the principles of risk management, an air operator must tailor their post-evacuation and survival techniques to the environment in with their stations are located. For example, an air operator that operates in and out of an arctic station would address post evacuation procedures relative to arctic conditions. However, an air operator that overflies an arctic station does not require arctic survival.
