The first formal investigation of the problem of location, operation and jettison of escape windows and hatches of helicopters following ditching has been conducted in a new simulator. There were 48 aircrew who attempted 298 escapes using a variety of 24 escape routes and 9 different types of escape hatches. Overall results, while superficially indicating that the task was easy, in fact revealed many unforeseen problems. Specifically, there was no standardization of hatches and levers, there were problems with location and operation of levers principally due to poor design, and an ergonomics study has not been conducted to investigate the problem. Underwater escape training with hatches in position must be mandatory for all who fly off-shore or over water for a living, and further research should be conducted to design a better standard hatch and jettison system.
在一台新型模拟器中，首次对直升机迫降后逃生窗和舱口的位置、操作及抛弃问题进行了正式调查。有48名机组人员通过24种不同的逃生路线和9种不同类型的逃生舱口尝试了298次逃生。总体结果表面上显示这项任务很容易，但实际上揭示了许多不可预见的问题。具体而言，舱口和操纵杆没有标准化，操纵杆的位置和操作存在问题，主要是由于设计不佳，而且尚未进行人体工程学研究来调查该问题。对于所有以在近海或水上飞行谋生的人员，必须强制进行舱口就位的水下逃生训练，并且应该开展进一步研究以设计出更好的标准舱口和抛弃系统。
