Abstract:

This report provides guidance on reducing injuries and improving safety and coordination during aircraft slide evacuation events. This report examines available data regarding commercial aircraft slide deployments with particular focus on injuries to aircraft crew and passengers incurred during aircraft slide evacuations. As a result of encountering gaps in the data on commercial aircraft slide deployments, this report also encourages more consistent reporting of injuries incurred in commercial aircraft slide deployments. A better understanding of the types and potential causes of aircraft slide evacuation injuries will help airport first responders, such as Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting personnel, and airport and aircraft operators to better prepare for commercial aircraft slide deployments and possibly prevent some injuries from happening.
