Baltia Air Lines Inc. (fka BLTA)

Yup, Baltia flunked on "The reliability and capability of the emergency equipment on the aircraft." Well, maybe they will pass on mini #8.

True enough the SDR is not used to report a Pass or Fail of the mini-evacuation.

However, the SDR does give us the information necessary to see that Baltia failed the demonstration.

Here is your clue:

B. FAR Part 121 Demonstrations.

(1) FAR Part 121 operators must conduct an emergency evacuation demonstration for any aircraft having a seating configuration of more than 44 passenger seats.

(2) A ditching demonstration must be conducted for any land aircraft intended for extended overwater operations.

(3) The need to conduct full-scale or partial demonstrations depends primarily upon whether a full-scale demonstration has been conducted previously by another FAR Part 121 operator or a manufacturer.

(4) The demonstrations test the following:

• The operator's emergency training program
• Crewmember competency
• The operator's emergency evacuation and ditching procedures
• The reliability and capability of the emer-gency equipment on the aircraft.
