Study Notes
A320 Emergency Equipment Overview
- Focus on identifying, locating, and operating emergency equipment on the A320 aircraft.
- Objective of training module: to acknowledge the specific features of safety equipment.
General Pre-Flight Check
- Conducted by Cabin Crew as part of pre-flight duties every time the aircraft has been vacated.
- Essential checks after cabin crew turnover or after a ground stop, including inspections for new crew on turnaround flights.
- For the first flight of the day, a thorough safety equipment check is mandatory.
- For subsequent flights, only a visual check is needed to ensure equipment presence.
Specific Checks During Pre-Flight
- Check pressure gauges for fire extinguishers and oxygen (PO2) bottles to confirm they are within acceptable limits.
- Ensure safety pins, wires, or seals of fire extinguishers are intact.
- Verify that Cabins Jumpseat, FAP, and PA/Interphone systems are operational.
- Review stowage compartments for correct placards, securing of equipment, expiration dates, and integrity of all features.
Documentation and Reporting
- If equipment is missing or documents are lacking, spare checklists can be found in the forward overhead bin (FWD OHB) left.
- Use the Emergency Equipment Guide as a reference, organized by crew responsibility with color codes for quick identification.
- Discrepancies or defects noted must be cross-checked against the Acceptable Deferred Defects (ADD) Index for further action.
Discrepancy Management
- Closed items indicate corrective action has been taken, while open items reflect defects not yet rectified.
- If a defect is newly discovered, it must be entered into the Cabin Maintenance Logbook (CML) and documented in the Flight Report.
- In case of conflict, the Minimum Equipment List (MEL) will take precedence over Cabin Crew manuals concerning necessary onboard equipment.
Cabin Maintenance Logbook (CML)
- Used for documenting discrepancies in aircraft fixtures, features, and systems.
- Responsible party: Lead Cabin Crew is required to fill out discrepancy details, ensuring critical boxes are completed correctly.
- Responses from maintenance personnel should reflect actions taken based on discrepancies reported.
Important Notes
- Always document the date in Universal Coordinated Time (UTC) format in the CML.
- All equipment checks and discrepancies need to be communicated efficiently to maintain flight safety and compliance.
