Reasonably well defined in terms of male to female ratios, age distributions etc. Mobility in the tests is taken into account in the operations manual. IE, if you can get 800 fit bodies out, then you can have 550 nearly fit plus 3 pax with broken legs etc.
Kingfisher density looks interesting.
737 overwing door weight is 39 pounds or around 18 kilos if you work in Euros. Slides on a 737 take up to 10 seconds to deploy, compare with 4 on the 380!
Anybody in a Dash 8 soon? Can you sit in the exit row and try to see if you can stand up and throw the door out, simulation only please. I failed on an Air Jamaica Express the other day but I don't know what the BA regionals are like. Actually, I will put this on a new thread.
Ta,
Spottie.
