type and model of aeroplane is operated in an Australian air transport operation by an operator; and
 (b) before the aeroplane is operated under an Australian air transport AOC following a change listed below that has not previously been demonstrated to CASA for the aeroplane:
 (i) a reduction in the number of cabin crew members assigned to duty for the aeroplane;
 (ii) a change to the locations on the aeroplane at which a cabin crew member is assigned, or to the crew's emergency evacuation duties and procedures;
 (iii) a change to the number, location, type of emergency exit or type of opening mechanism on an emergency exit that is available for evacuation of the aeroplane.

Ditching procedures
 (3) If the aeroplane is required under section 11.62 to carry one or more life rafts, CASA may require the operator, by notice in writing, to conduct a demonstration of the procedures related to the ditching of the aeroplane (the ditching procedures).
 (4) In considering whether to require a demonstration of the ditching procedures, CASA may take into account:
 (a) the availability and realism of facilities, cabin training devices and equipment used by the operator for training crew members on emergency and safety equipment and emergency procedures; and
 (b) any ditching demonstrations the operator has carried out on an aeroplane of a similar type; and
 (c) any other factor CASA considers relevant.
 (5) A demonstration of ditching procedures may be conducted:
 (a) during the emergency evacuation demonstration required under subsection (2); or
 (b) at another time, as directed by CASA.
Note: As a matter of normal practice, CASA will work with an operator to identify a mutually agreeable time and place for the demonstration of ditching procedures. Ultimately, CASA can provide a direction as to the time and place even where no such agreement can be reached.

14.07  Demonstration requirements
 (1) A demonstration to CASA of the emergency evacuation procedures of the aeroplane, including the ditching procedures if required under subsection 14.06(3), must be conducted in simulated emergency conditions.
 (2) Each crew member who participates in the demonstration must:
 (a) have assigned duties for the type and model of aeroplane; and
 (b) have been selected at random by CASA from a list of crew for the aeroplane compiled by the operator:
 (i) for the purpose of testing the procedures with members of the crew who do not have an above average level of experience or exposure to emergency evacuation requirements; and
 (ii) given 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
