BAE146 emergency exits
hi there
on a recent trip on a BAE 146 i noticed that on the evacuation sheets there was a display of the exits to use should one need to evacuate on land and on water.
Now on land all 4 doors are used but on water only the forward 2 doors are used according to the sheet.
My question is this....
should the fact that the forward doors are the only ones which are allowed to be used on a water landing limit the amount of passengers that can be transported.
I know i know you will say the chances of it having to land on water is remote/plus losing all 4 engines but if it should happen would this not restrict the amount of passengers the aircraft could carry since only "x" amount can evacute through the doors at any 1 time span.
I worked on the ground for a while and a few times when a plane was being dispatched it came to light that 1 of the emergency doors was inop....resulting in the fact that x number of rows could not be used due the the evacuation policy.
so should this not affect the BAE146 to the same extent??
