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.
  • One serves passengers, and one serves crew.
  • Portable oxygen bottles are available for emergency situations.
  • Emergency oxygen masks are available for crew and observers.
  • Masks are half or full face, and are compatible with glasses.
  • A Type 1 mask should be used before smoke goggles in case of smoke.
  • Type 2 masks have a different donning procedure.

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.
  • Portable extinguishers are located at crew stations and in the cockpit.
  • Each type of fire extinguisher comes with their own instructions for use.

Other Equipment

  • Includes megaphones, crash axes, gloves, protective goggles (smoke goggles), first aid kits, emergency medical kits (med kits), ambu bags, automated external defibrillators (AEDs), seat belts, passenger safety cards and emergency locator transmitters(ELT).
  • The layout of equipment may vary per aircraft type.
  • Personnel are expected to check the location and number of each piece of equipment.
