Division 2—Aeroplanes carrying more than 44 passengers

14.04  Application etc.
 (1) This Division applies in relation to an aeroplane that has a maximum operational seating configuration of more than 44 passengers.
 (2) The requirements of this Division are in addition to the requirements in Division 1 of this Chapter.

14.05  Emergency evacuation procedures
 (1) An operator's emergency evacuation procedures for an aeroplane must ensure the crew members can achieve an evacuation capability at least equivalent to that achieved in an emergency evacuation demonstration that:
 (a) was conducted by the aeroplane's manufacturer for the purpose of the type certification of the aeroplane; and
 (b) meets the requirements of regulation 25.803 of the FARs, CS-25.803, or other requirements that CASA approves, in writing, as being of an equivalent standard.
 (2) If the aeroplane is required under section 11.62 to carry one or more life rafts, the emergency evacuation procedures related to the ditching of the aeroplane must ensure the removal of rafts and the evacuation of the occupants of the aeroplane will be conducted in an orderly and expeditious manner.
 (3) The emergency exits identified as being the primary responsibility of cabin crew members for the purposes of the emergency evacuation demonstration mentioned in subsection (1) must continue to be required, by the emergency evacuation procedures for the aeroplane, to be the primary responsibility of cabin crew members.
 (4) To avoid doubt, the requirement in subsection (3) does not prevent additional emergency exits becoming the primary responsibility of cabin crew members under the emergency evacuation procedures.

14.06  Requirement to conduct demonstrations

 (1) An operator must demonstrate to CASA the emergency evacuation procedures for an aeroplane to the extent required by this Division.
Note: The demonstration of emergency evacuation procedures required by this Division is a demonstration commonly understood to be a "partial" emergency evacuation demonstration. This is because it is not the full emergency evacuation demonstration that is required as part of an aircraft's initial type certification.
        (2) A demonstration of the emergency evacuation procedures in relation to an aeroplane must be conducted:
 (a) before the 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
