Description: The National Transportation Safety Board is currently conducting a study on emergency evacuation from commercial aircraft. The study will examine the effects on emergency evacuations of the following: (1) Evacuation equipment; (2) different cabin configurations; (3) different cabin and outside environments; (4) evacuation procedures and crew/passenger communications; and (5) passenger age, size, and other bio-behavioral factors. Further, the study will compile general statistics on evacuations, including the number of evacuations and the types and number of passenger injuries incurred during evacuations.

Therefore, the National Transportation Safety Board is seeking emergency clearance to obtain data from passengers who have evacuated from commercial aircraft on their observations of the evacuation and their personal experience during the evacuation.
