Cranfield has done some good stuff but lets not elevate what is essentially hypothesis backed by surreal prac exercises in an outmoded sim.
Good stuff aside, Cranfield has also been used to back some dodgy outcomes - therefore as an example, I accept one CC to operate two doors in an evac no more than I accept the notion that flying a long BOC sector solo with a full bladder is a good idea.
rule 1: be very careful of what academics claim to be fact................
Proof point: Jungle jet R2 slide that physically deploys at 42 degree angle....look at the pix of the DJ jet with the popped slide and then look at the evac data ( 3 crew - 4 doors).......oh....after saying WTF...then ask BTW: why is CASA STILL allowing the jets to remain in service with a 12 month rectification period.......
reality is that staged evac tests are surreal, rehersed and at the end of the day are works of fiction.
