certificate application was filed before 1 May 1972 — the escape device for a passenger emergency exit must be a self-supporting slide, or equivalent, designed so that:
(a) subject to subsection 10.2, it automatically:
 (i) deploys simultaneously with the opening of the exit; and
 (ii) erects within 10 seconds; and
(b) its lower end is self-supporting on the ground, including if 1 or more of the landing gear legs collapses.
       10.2 For paragraph 10.1 (a), if the escape device is installed at a service door, or passenger door that qualifies as an emergency exit, means must be provided to prevent automatic deployment of the device when the door is opened from the inside or the outside of the aeroplane in non-emergency conditions.
       10.3 For an aeroplane whose type certificate application was filed before 1 May 1972 — the escape device for the flight crew emergency exit must be a rope or other equivalent device, demonstrably suitable for the purpose, that is:
(a) able with its attachment to withstand a static load of 181.6 kg; and
(b) either:
           (i) attached to the fuselage structure at, or above, the top of the emergency exit opening; or
           (ii) for a device at a pilot's emergency exit window — at another approved location if the stowed device or its attachment would otherwise reduce the pilot's view in flight.
       10.4For an aeroplane whose type certificate application was filed on, or after, 1 May 1972 — the escape device must meet the design requirements under which the aeroplane was type certificated.

(b) unobstructed.
       14.2 There must be enough space around each Type I or Type II emergency exit to allow a crew member to assist in the evacuation of passengers without reducing the unobstructed width of the passageway to below 508 mm.

15 Passageways — Type III and Type IV exits
       There must be access from the main aisle to each Type III or Type IV emergency exit and this access must not be obstructed by seats, berths, or other protrusions in a manner that would reduce the effectiveness
