Study Notes
Emergency Procedures and Aircraft Inventory
- Emergency engine shut-offs, exits, and access openings are crucial for safety and should be well-documented.
- Passenger loading configurations range from 181 to 202 individuals, with possible "freighter" configurations affecting layout.
Hazards in Aircraft Operations
- Fuel sources are primarily kerosene, necessitating careful handling during emergencies.
- Wheels utilize two 4-wheel bogies, requiring awareness during operations.
- Running engines are turbo-jet types, presenting high-temperature and noise hazards.
- Electric hazards include high voltage present in engines, posing risk to personnel.
- Construction materials, such as magnesium and toxic plastics, require special consideration for fire and smoke management.
- High-density passenger loading can complicate evacuation and rescue efforts.
Exposures and Ventilation
- Unknown exposures highlight gaps in safety planning needing attention.
- Best ventilation method is cross-ventilation; however, manual blowers may be necessary.
- Special problems arise in ventilation due to challenges in vertical airflow.
Plan Sheet Submission Requirements
- Plan sheets must be on 8-1/2" x 11" white bond paper with a 1-1/2" right margin.
- Each plan sheet must indicate the aircraft's name and model and show its external configuration.
- Color coding is used for clarity: Red for exits, Yellow for oxygen locations, Blue for fuel storage.
Crash Fire Dimensions and Concealed Areas
- Expected crash fire dimensions vary from 12,610 to 14,860 square feet, emphasizing the scale of potential incidents.
- Concealed areas in aircraft often include sealed compartments that need to be documented for rescue operations.
Aircraft Inventory Program Guidelines
- Each aircraft over 12,500 pounds in daily operation requires an Aircraft Inventory Sheet for comprehensive rescue planning.
- Information includes aircraft dimensions, arrival details, and special features like fuel quantities and storage locations.
- Written sheets must be submitted to Battalion Commanders for clarity and can be reviewed annually for updates or changes.
- Laminated copies of inventory sheets are to be included in Building Inventory Books carried by firefighting apparatus.
Maintenance of Inventory Information
- Any modifications to aircraft affecting firefighting techniques necessitate updated written and plan sheets.
- Obsolete sheets must be removed from records and replaced with current information to maintain safety and operational effectiveness.
