    Study Notes

    Emergency Situations - Fire

    • Inflight fires are potentially dangerous, especially in a confined space.
    • They can become uncontrollable in 30 seconds.
    • All in-flight fires must be reported immediately to the captain.
    • Combustion requires three elements: fuel, oxygen, and heat.
    • Removing any one of these elements extinguishes the fire.
    • Starving a fire involves removing the fuel source.
    • Smothering a fire involves removing oxygen.
    • Cooling a fire involves removing heat.

    Fire Classification

    • Fires are classified into A, B, C, and D types.
    • Class A fires involve flammable solids (e.g., paper, wood, cloth).
    • Class B fires involve flammable liquids or gases (e.g., oil, grease, gasoline).
    • Class C fires involve electrical equipment.
    • Class D fires involve flammable metals.

    Specific Fire Types

    • Oven: Switch off, close door, use BCF/BTP, open door slightly for nozzle.
    • Waste Containers: Use non-flammable liquid or extinguisher to dampen.
    • Overhead Lockers: Check for heat source, open slowly, use BCF/BTP, remove contents.
    • Seats: Use BCF/BTP, dampen down.
    • Electrical: Isolate supply, use BCF/BTP, do not use water.
    • Lavatory: Check for heat before opening, use BCF/BTP, soak with water/liquid.
    • Portable Electric Devices (PEDs): Switch off, use BCF/BTP, submerse in water if necessary.

    Smoke and Fumes

    • Smoke quantity may not indicate fire size or location.
    • Toxic fumes can cause suffocation or health issues.
    • Smoke rises in confined spaces.
    • Passengers should be directed to lower areas.

    Cabin Fire Procedures Checklist

    • Locate fire source, notify other crew, use BCF/BTP, evacuate passengers.
    • Flight deck crew and cabin crew must communicate effectively.

    Decompression

    • Slow decompression (faulty door or system) may cause symptoms like ear pain or hypoxia.
    • Rapid decompression (structural damage) results in immediate oxygen mask deployment.
    • Crew should don oxygen masks and fasten seatbelts immediately.

    Incapacitation

    • Incapacitation is any condition affecting a crew member's duty performance.
    • Immediate actions include notifying the captain, securing the crew member, and initiating procedures.

    Go-Around

    • CPT decides to not land due to obstacles or weather.

    Severe Turbulence

    • If severe turbulence is expected, crew should fasten seat belts to ensure passenger safety.
