EMERGENCY EVACUATION

11.1.3.1 Ditching - Passenger Announcement

READ SLOWLY AND CLEARLY

Ladies and Gentlemen, May I have your attention, please. As you know we are going to
prepare for the event of an emergency landing, now. Stop smoking, put your seatback into an
upright position and stow your tray. I am going to explain the necessary procedures, which
will be performed afterwards, say again: afterwards. Open your collars and take off your ties.
Remove pointed, sharp and fragile objects as eye glasses, false teeth and stow them in your
hand luggage and lay out clothing for padding. Remove all objects, even newspapers from the
emergency exit.

Ditching:

- Put on all your clothing, take off your shoes.

- Remove life vest from under your seat, put it on, but DO NOT inflate before leaving the
aircraft Look for your closest emergency exit.
After completion of preparation fasten your seat belt tightly.
In the seat pocket you will find a safety instruction card. Please note the Safety position. It will be
ordered shortly prior landing and means: Bend forward as low as you can!

Let us try:

- Fasten seat belt tightly

- Feet apart and firmly on the floor.
- Knees together
- Padding on knees.
- Embrace knees with arms.
- Face on padding

We have to expect several impacts. Do not sit up until A/C has come to a complete stop. Remain
seated with your seat belt fastened until we tell you to leave the A/C.
All hand luggage must be left on board to speed the evacuation. Please remain calm and follow
exactly our instructions.
11.1.4 Emergency Landing

Special awareness should be taken in situations when operating on Ground or on take off and landing.
In these situations an emergency may develop very quickly.
There will be no time for demonstrating any subjects like Safety Position or use of life vest.
11.1.4.1 Passenger Announcement

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Stop smoking and put your seat back into an upright position.
In the seat pocket you will find the safety instruction card .Note the Safety position. It will be
ordered shortly prior landing.

11.2 Emergency evacuation

Difficulties which occur in conjunction with a failed airplane system make a special safety procedure
necessary to protect passengers and crew. Therefore close communication should be established
between all crew members.

EMERGENCY EVACUATION

11.2.2 Consideration and Criteria for Ordering an Evacuation

Evacuating any aeroplane, even a small one, always involves the risks of a panic and injury to the
passengers. The decision to evacuate should not be taken lightly and be reserved to life threatening
situations. On the other hand certain injury is to be preferred over death and thus, if in doubt, the
commander should lean towards evacuating the aeroplane. Consideration like outside weather conditions
should also be taken in account.

11.2.3 Fire Warning on Ground

As both engines are out of sight of the cockpit, a fire warning is the only indication in the cockpit of an
engine fire. It should trigger engine shut down and discharge of the fire extinguisher. If the fire is not
extinguished after the second shot, an the fire brigade has not arrived yet immediate evacuation
should be ordered by the CDR. If the fire brigade has already arrived it is recommended to
communicate with them to verify the Situation outside. It might be advisable that, if the fire brigade
has the fire under control or extinguished and there is no evidence of fire inside the aircraft, not to
evacuate. Before the evacuation starts CM2 has to check the situation outside through a Cabin
window. As the main entrance door is located on the LH side and the Emergency Exit on the RH side
of the aircraft, evacuation should take place on the side with the lowest risk of injury.

11.2.4 Deviation from Runway

If the aeroplane leaves unintentionally the runway or taxiway and comes to a stop without obvious
damage or fire, it should not be evacuated but disembarked via the main entrance door.

11.2.5 Ditching

Ditching is not approved and was not conducted during certification testing of the airplane. Should
ditching be required, the following procedure is recommended:

PRELIMINARY

1. Bleed Air Selector - OFF.

2. Radio - MAYDAY.
3. Transponder - EMERGENCY.
4. Locator Beacon - ON.
5. ATC - ADVISE.
6. Passenger Advisory Switch - PASS SAFETY.
7. Prepare passengers for ditching.
8. Rate of Descent - 200 TO 300 FEET/MINUTE.
9. Ditching Heading - PARALLEL TO MAJOR SWELL SYSTEM.

APPROACH

1. Landing Gear - UP.

2. Flaps - LAND.
3. Approach Speed - VREF.

NOTE

Plan approach to parallel any uniform swell pattern and attempt to touch down along a wave crest or
just behind it. If the surface wind is very strong or the water surface rough and irregular, ditch into
the wind on the back side of a wave.

EMERGENCY EVACUATION

WATER CONTACT

1. Aircraft Pitch Attitude - SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN NORMAL LANDING ATTITUDE.

2. Reduce airspeed and rate of descent to a minimum, but do not stall the airplane.
3. Throttles - OFF just prior to water contact and contact water on a crest of a swell, parallel to the
major swell.

AFTER WATER CONTACT

Under reasonable ditching conditions, the aircraft should remain afloat an adequate time to launch
and board life rafts in an orderly manner.

WARNING

THE MAIN CABIN DOOR SHOULD REMAIN CLOSED AND EVACUATION MADE THROUGH
THE EMERGENCY EXIT.
