The study examines 10 recent U.S. air carrier accidents in which an emergency evacuation occurred. These accidents exemplify the factors most commonly identified as influencing evacuation success. The factors identified and discussed include the following: Weather, terrain, aircraft attitude, fire and smoke, evacuation slides, emergency lighting, emergency communications equipment, obstructions to egress, passenger preparedness, crewmember training, and crewmember procedures. Ten safety recommendations regarding improvements in evacuation slides, megaphones, public address systems, passenger briefings, emergency lighting, and crewmember training resulted from this study.
