747FOCAL - not sure what any of that has to do with my question. I wasn't asking about tests. I was asking about the likely behaviour of a pilot-in-command of an operational A380 full of passengers.
Nothing to do with tests vs simulations or how tests should be conducted. I was wondering about how a PIC might adjust his/her threshold for ordering an evacuation in a given set of real circumstances knowing (or at least believing) that evacuations on this type were much more likely to result in serious injury than on others.
