    Study Notes

    Emergency and Safety Equipment

    • Corendon Airlines uses a variety of emergency and safety equipment throughout their aircraft.
    • Each piece of equipment has a specific purpose, location, and pre-flight checks.
    • Equipment ranges from oxygen systems and protective breathing equipment (PBE) to emergency locator transmitters (ELT).
    • Safety equipment also includes things like seat belts, first aid kits, and emergency medical kits.
    • Detailed diagrams and instructions exist for equipment use, particularly for oxygen masks and life vests.

    Oxygen System

    • Two independent oxygen systems are in the aircraft.

    Protective Breathing Equipment (PBE)

    • Smoke hoods are installed in the crew compartment for in-flight fire emergencies.
    • The hoods provide oxygen and protection from smoke.
    • Type 1 PBE is a Drager/Oxycrew safety system and Type 2 PBE is a Scott/Avox.
    • Both systems have an oxygen generator which provides 36 liters of oxygen for a set amount of time.

    Fire Extinguishers

    • Extinguishers are suitable for various fire types (Class A, B, and C)
    • Different extinguishers are suitable for different fires and should not be used for the wrong type.
