Evacuation Demonstration Certification Standard

As before mentioned the evacuation demonstrations are done with prebriefed, reasonably fit people without cabin baggage.

There seems to be enough real world data about the amount of cabin baggage that emerges in real evacuations.

Demonstration evacuations for certification should be performed with the usual cabin baggage carried off by the pax.

If they're not all getting off in time, more doors and slides should be required
