RwandAir flight crew completes partial emergency evacuation certification

The national carrier’s flight crew successfully carried a mini-evacuation exercise under the close scrutiny of Rwanda Civil Aviation Authority (RCAA).  The exercise, which is mandatory before the certification of an aircraft by the civil aviation authorities, involves the simulation of an emergency evacuation scenario and its success is pegged on flight crew response time from the time a mid air emergency is declared up to landing.
