Determination of Evacuation and Firefighting Times Based on an Analysis of Aircraft Accident Fire Survivability Data

摘要

As part of a project commissioned by the Federal Aviation Administration data have been gathered on the relative proportion of accidents that involve Ground Pool Fires and statistical data on the following: (1) Time to initiate an evacuation; (2) Time to complete an evacuation; (3) Time to arrival of fire-fighters; and (4) Time for fire-fighters to establish control in a Ground Pool Fire accident. The data was extracted from accident reports and other information published by Investigating and Airworthiness Authorities using the Cabin Safety Research Technical Group Aircraft Accident Database as the search facility.
