Pt. 121, App. E 

using stands or ramps allowed by item (3) 
above are considered to be on the ground 
when they are on the stand or ramp: 

Pro-

vided, 

That the acceptance rate of the stand 

or ramp is no greater than the acceptance 
rate of the means available on the airplane 
for descent from the wing during an actual 
crash situation. 

(b) 

Ditching demonstration. 

The demonstra-

tion must assume that daylight hours exist 
outside the airplane, and that all required 
crewmembers are available for the dem-
onstration. 

(1) If the certificate holder’s manual re-

quires the use of passengers to assist in the 
launching of liferafts, the needed passengers 
must be aboard the airplane and participate 
in the demonstration according to the man-
ual. 

(2) A stand must be placed at each emer-

gency exit and wing, with the top of the plat-
form at a height simulating the water level 
of the airplane following a ditching. 

(3) After the ditching signal has been re-

ceived, each evacuee must don a life vest ac-
cording to the certificate holder’s manual. 

(4) Each liferaft must be launched and in-

flated, according to the certificate holder’s 
manual, and all other required emergency 
equipment must be placed in rafts. 

(5) Each evacuee must enter a liferaft, and 

the crewmembers assigned to each liferaft 
must indicate the location of emergency 
equipment aboard the raft and describe its 
use. 

(6) Either the airplane, a mockup of the 

airplane or a floating device simulating a 
passenger compartment must be used. 

(i) If a mockup of the airplane is used, it 

must be a life-size mockup of the interior 
and representative of the airplane currently 
used by or proposed to be used by the certifi-
cate holder, and must contain adequate seats 
for use of the evacuees. Operation of the 
emergency exits and the doors must closely 
simulate those on the airplane. Sufficient 
wing area must be installed outside the over- 
the-wing exits to demonstrate the evacu-
ation. 

(ii) If a floating device simulating a pas-

senger compartment is used, it must be rep-
resentative, to the extent possible, of the 
passenger compartment of the airplane used 
in operations. Operation of the emergency 
exits and the doors must closely simulate op-
eration on that airplane. Sufficient wing 
area must be installed outside the over-the- 
wing exits to demonstrate the evacuation. 
The device must be equipped with the same 
survival equipment as is installed on the air-

plane, to accommodate all persons partici-
pating in the demonstration.

EQUIREMENTS

 

The maneuvers and procedures required by 

§ 121.424 of this part for pilot initial, transi-
tion, and upgrade flight training are set 
forth in the certificate holder’s approved 
low-altitude windshear flight training pro-
gram, § 121.423 extended envelope training, 
and in this appendix. All required maneuvers 
and procedures must be performed inflight 
except that windshear and extended envelope 
training maneuvers and procedures must be 
performed in an airplane simulator in which 
the maneuvers and procedures are specifi-
cally authorized to be accomplished. Certain 
other maneuvers and procedures may be per-
formed in an airplane simulator with a vis-
ual system (visual simulator), an airplane 
simulator without a visual system (non-
visual simulator), a training device, or a 
static airplane as indicated by the appro-
priate symbol in the respective column oppo-
site the maneuver or procedure. 

Whenever a maneuver or procedure is au-

thorized to be performed in a nonvisual sim-
ulator, it may be performed in a visual simu-
lator; when authorized in a training device, 
it may be performed in a visual or nonvisual 
simulator, and in some cases, a static air-
plane. Whenever the requirement may be 
performed in either a training device or a 
static airplane, the appropriate symbols are 
entered in the respective columns. 

For the purpose of this appendix, the fol-

lowing symbols mean— 
P = Pilot in Command (PIC). 
S = Second in Command (SIC). 
B = PIC and SIC. 
F = Flight Engineer. 
PJ = PIC transition Jet to Jet. 
PP = PIC transition Prop. to Prop. 
SJ = SIC transition Jet to Jet. 
SP = SIC transition Prop. to Prop. 
AT = All transition categories (PJ, PP, SJ, 

SP). 

PS = SIC upgrading to PIC (same airplane). 
SF = Flight Engineer upgrading to SIC (same 

airplane). 

BU = Both SIC and Flight Engineer upgrad-

ing (same airplane).
