Emergency evacuation for ditching is an important airworthiness requirement for civil aircraft to ensure safety. However, to demonstrate the emergency evacuation for ditching of a real aircraft is a time-consuming and laborious test with significant safety risks. Based on the analysis of airworthiness clauses, this paper proposes a method for calculating and analysing the emergency evacuation time for ditching. Taking a certain type of aircraft as an example, a typical case is selected for calculation and analysis, and the evacuation time under this typical case is obtained, which provides data support for the airworthiness emergency evacuation airworthiness compliance.
