32 Application — CASR 90.225 (1) (b) and 90.230 (2) (b)
       The standards set out in this Subdivision apply for paragraphs 90.225 (1) (b) and 90.230 (2) (b) of CASR 1998.

33 Passenger-carrying aeroplanes
       The standards set out in this Subdivision are for a passenger-carrying large aeroplane that is a transport category aeroplane.

34 Interior emergency lighting system — requirements
       34.1 Subject to subsection 34.2, the aeroplane must have an interior emergency lighting system, including power supply, that is independent of the aeroplane's main lighting system and its power supply.
       34.2 Without otherwise affecting subsection 34.1, the sources of general cabin illumination may be common to both the interior emergency lighting and the main lighting system.
       34.3 The interior emergency lighting system must include the following:
(a) illuminated emergency exit markings;
(b) illuminated emergency exit locating signs;
(c) interior lighting in emergency exit areas;
(d) sources of general cabin illumination.

35 Type certificated on, or after, 1 January 1958 — floor proximity emergency escape path marking
       35.1 For a large aeroplane that was type certificated after 1 January 1958 and has a passenger seating configuration of 20 or more, the interior emergency lighting system must include floor proximity emergency escape path marking (FPEEPM).
       35.2 The FPEEPM must provide emergency evacuation guidance for passengers when all sources of illumination more than 1.22 m above the cabin aisle floor are totally obscured.
       35.3 In darkness equivalent to the dark of night, the FPEEPM must enable each passenger:
(a) after leaving his or her seat — to visually identify the emergency escape path along the cabin aisle floor to the first exit, or pair of exits, forward and aft of the seat; and
(b) to readily distinguish each exit from the emergency escape path by reference to markings and visual features that are not more than 1.22 m above the cabin aisle floor.

36 Interior emergency lighting system — further requirements
       For this Subdivision, subject to section 37, the interior emergency lighting system must:
(a) be controlled manually from the flight crew station with a cockpit control device that has an "on", "off", and "armed" position (the cockpit station); and
(b) for aeroplanes on which a cabin crew member is required — be controlled manually from both of the following:
 (i) the cockpit station;
 (ii) a point in the passenger compartment readily accessible from a normal cabin crew member's seat (the cabin crew station); and
(c) be designed to prevent inadvertent operation of the manual controls; and
(d) when turned on at either the cockpit station or the cabin crew station — ensure that the interior emergency lighting remains on in the event of interruption of the aeroplane's
