2.3.2.2 Recurring Evacuation-Related Issues
A long quote from the NTSB report was removed discussing the many RTO accidents where miscommunication between flight and cabin crew impeded evacuation and/or resulted in chutes coming down while one or more engines were still running.
The NTSB remains concerned that: Lessons are not being learned.
Give section 2.3.2.2 a careful read.
So far we have been lucky.
The common theme is that after a reject, flight crews remain unaware of serious fire and smoke situations for an unacceptable period.
Interphones get fumbled. Door Open annunciations on the EICAS roll off the display.
Admittedly there are some high priority messages in a reject situation, but Door Open needs to be prominently displayed as: EVACUATE IN PROGRESS.
A software update could fix that.
