to CASA; and
 (c) have been assessed by the operator as competent to perform duties relevant to carrying out the emergency evacuation procedures and associated safety briefings for the type and model of aeroplane.
 (3) The operator must not cause the demonstration to have been practiced, rehearsed with, or described to, a participant, except as mentioned in subsection (4).
 (4) For the purposes of subsection (3), a participant may be advised only that he or she will be participating in an evaluation of safety procedures.

14.08  Standards for demonstrations
 (1) CASA must be satisfied that the emergency evacuation procedures for an aeroplane would enable the crew members to achieve the requirement in subsection 14.05(1).
 (2) A demonstration of the emergency evacuation procedures for the aeroplane must also meet the following standards:
 (a) the cabin crew members, using the operator's emergency evacuation procedures, must:
 (i) open 50% of the required floor level emergency exits; and
 (ii) open 50% of the required non-floor level emergency exits;
 (b) the emergency exits opened for the purposes of paragraph (a) must not include an exit if CASA has (for the purposes of the demonstration) identified that an unsafe condition exists outside the exit;
 (c) the emergency exits must be ready for use within 15 seconds from the prearranged signal notified to the operator.
 (3) For the purposes of subsection (2), an emergency exit is a required emergency exit if:
 (a) it was present at the time of the emergency demonstration evacuation mentioned in subsection 14.05(1) for the aeroplane; and
 (b) the operator's procedures provide that the opening of the exit is a primary responsibility of a cabin crew member.
Note: The emergency demonstration evacuation mentioned in subsection 14.05(1) is a full evacuation demonstration conducted for the purposes of the certification of the aeroplane.
 (4) An emergency exit is ready for use within 15 seconds if:
 (a) the emergency exit has been fully opened; and
 (b) any other means required for a passenger to reach the ground using the exit (for example, an evacuation slide) would be ready within that time; and
 (c) where those means are not physically deployed—the time it would take to deploy them for the use of the emergency exit is taken into account in the 15 seconds.
Note: For example, if it was determined that the slide deployment time for a type of aeroplane is 4 seconds, the measured time to open the relevant emergency exit would be 11 seconds.
 (5) If the operator is required to conduct a demonstration of ditching procedures for the aeroplane, the standard that must be met is that CASA is satisfied the ditching procedures meet the requirement in subsection 14.05(2).
