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.
