Not sure about ICAO requirements. I have often wondered why cabin crew ditching and dinghy practice in swimming pools is a regulatory requirement in many States while at the same time there is no requirement for pilots to undertake simulated ditching while flying a simulator as part of pilot proficiency. Ditching a jet transport aircraft is not for amateurs and takes careful and competent instrument flying until impact with water.
