What evacuation procedures are provided?

• A. Only Land Evacuation
• B. Land Evacuation and Ditching Evacuation procedures
• C. Only Ditching Evacuation
• D. No procedures

Answer: (B)

Evacuation procedures are the concrete steps the crew follows to get everyone safely out of the aircraft after an emergency. In Part 135 operations you need to be prepared for both landing on solid ground and landing on water. That means the procedures must include how to evacuate in a land scenario and how to evacuate in a ditching (overwater) scenario. Having both ensures the crew can act quickly and correctly no matter where you touch down, including how exits are used, what commands to give, and how any survival equipment is deployed. If you only had land procedures or only ditching procedures, the crew could be caught off guard in the other situation, risking delays and injuries. No procedures would be noncompliant, as you must have clear, practiced evacuation guidance for the possible environments you could encounter.
