Evacuation Decision Model
Hello,
Am just wondering whether anybody has or can direct me to a decision making model as for when to commence an evacuation?
Clearly its not a decision to be taken lightly.
My thoughts: Engine or fuselage fire - Evac.
How about in the wheel well say after an RTO? Would you wait for the fire trucks to arrive to confirm fire under control / isolated or evac anyway?
What about if you had a cargo fire and managed to extinguish successfully the fire (ECAM warnings removed) and put it on the ground. Would you then assume fire has gone out and evac not necessary, or would you consider perhaps the ECAM spurious and thus assume a fire may still be present?
I'm sure I'll get lots of different opinions here and clearly the big picture always needs to be considered but really I'm after a set of thought processes and decision making models / steps you may use when deciding whether or not to evac. for real.
Thank you.
