They vary by type of aircraft. I was in the business for 27 years and
when I rode as a passenger on aircraft on which I was not trained and
qualified I would have to refer to the seat pocket card to really
understand what the evacuation would be like on that aircraft type.

In my experience, the seat pocket cards very wildly in usefulness. I've seen
some very good ones, but on a recent shortish-haul flight the only thing I
could really comprehend properly was the location of the exits - although
there were pictures of aircraft landing on water and people wearing
lifejackets, it didn't really tell the reader anything at all.

The problem is that they try to do it all with diagrams, to reduce the
dependence on the passenger understanding stuff written in a particular
lanuguage, but the diagrams are often a bit weird.
