using stands or ramps allowed by item (3)
above are considered to be on the ground
when they are on the stand or ramp: Provided, 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 demonstration must assume that daylight hours exist
outside the airplane, and that all required
crewmembers are available for the demonstration.
(1) If the certificate holder-s manual requires 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 manual.
(2) A stand must be placed at each emergency exit and wing, with the top of the platform at a height simulating the water level
of the airplane following a ditching.
(3) After the ditching signal has been received, each evacuee must don a life vest according to the certificate holder-s manual.
(4) Each liferaft must be launched and inflated, 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 certificate 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 overthe-wing exits to demonstrate the evacuation.
(ii) If a floating device simulating a passenger compartment is used, it must be representative, 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 operation on that airplane. Sufficient wing
area must be installed outside the over-thewing 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 participating in the demonstration.

APPENDIX E TO PART 121 - FLIGHT
TRAINING REQUIREMENTS
The maneuvers and procedures required by
Section 121.424 of this part for pilot initial, transition, and upgrade flight training are set
forth in the certificate holder-s approved
low-altitude windshear flight training program, Section 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 specifically authorized to be accomplished. Certain
other maneuvers and procedures may be performed in an airplane simulator with a visual system (visual simulator), an airplane
simulator without a visual system (nonvisual simulator), a training device, or a
static airplane as indicated by the appropriate symbol in the respective column opposite the maneuver or procedure.
Whenever a maneuver or procedure is authorized to be performed in a nonvisual simulator, it may be performed in a visual simulator; when authorized in a training device,
it may be performed in a visual or nonvisual
simulator, and in some cases, a static airplane. 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 following 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 upgrading (same airplane).
