This SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) provides design and performance recommendations for emergency exits in the passenger cabin.

PURPOSE

The purpose of this ARP is to supplement the emergency exit certification requirements and guidance (e.g., FAA Part 25, EASA Part 25, FAA Advisory Circular 25.783-1A, etc.) by identifying design features that will help to make the operation of airplane passenger exits safe, simple, quick, and more intuitive under normal and emergency conditions. This document is not intended to specify particular design methods or mechanisms to be used to accomplish the objectives established herein.
