Type 3 PBE Procedures and Safety Measures

A system that provides supplemental oxygen to passengers and crew in case of cabin depressurization.

Portable oxygen bottles used for emergencies and medical issues.

Equipment worn to protect the respiratory system from hazardous fumes or smoke.

Devices used to extinguish fires, categorized based on the type of fire they can suppress.

A placard displayed in the lavatory to indicate hot or cold water temperature.

A device that detects smoke and sounds an alarm to alert passengers and crew of a possible fire.

A device used to amplify the voice for making announcements or communicating during emergencies.

A tool used for breaking windows and other emergencies, commonly found on aircraft.

Protective eyewear used to shield the eyes from smoke and other hazards.

Protective gloves used for a variety of tasks, including handling potentially hazardous materials.

Life-saving devices worn by passengers and crew in case of an emergency water landing.

Inflatable vessels used to rescue passengers and crew in case of a water landing.

A portable lighting device used for illumination during emergencies.

A kit containing tools and equipment for handling minor aircraft damage and repairs.

A kit containing supplies and medications for providing basic first aid to injured passengers and crew.

A type of emergency respiratory protection device used in aircraft to provide oxygen in case of fire.

A chemical reaction inside the PBE generates oxygen, lasting for approximately 15 minutes.

Inspecting the PBE for any signs of damage, expiry date, or compromised packaging before use.

The action of putting on the PBE, ensuring the oronasal mask is properly secured to the nose and the neck seal is tight.

Activating the PBE by pulling the adjustment straps, which triggers the oxygen generation process.

A rushing sound and the noticeable inflation of the hood indicate that the PBE is working properly.

The procedure for removing the PBE after use, including disposal of the used components.

The record of the PBE use, including the details of the event and disposal of the used equipment.

A special belt used to secure infants during takeoff and landing. It's placed around the baby's waist and attached to the adult's seatbelt.

A belt provided to passengers who have difficulty fastening their regular seatbelt due to their size. It extends the length of the seatbelt.

The minimum number of infant belts and infant life vests required on an aircraft is calculated based on the total number of passenger seats. For example, if an aircraft has 100 seats, it must have at least 10 infant belts and life vests.

A device used for securing an infant in a parent's lap during takeoff and landing. It's not intended for use while the infant is in a bassinet.

An adult passenger is defined as someone over the age of 12. This is important because some safety regulations, like the use of extension belts, apply specifically to adults.

A device used to check the function of the Flash Light (FLA). It illuminates green when the Flash Light is working correctly and red when the battery is low.

A seal used to indicate the status of the First Aid Kit (FAK). A green seal signifies a valid kit, while a red INOP seal indicates the kit needs replacement by maintenance.

The duration of the battery power in a Flash Light (FLA). Type 2 Flash Lights have a battery life of 3-4 hours.

A system used to guide a pilot during landing and takeoff, especially in low-visibility weather conditions. It helps ensure a safe landing.

An emergency locator transmitter (ELT) that automatically activates upon impact and transmits a distress signal to search and rescue authorities.

The ELT indicator light blinks amber for up to 3 minutes to indicate transmission, then may turn green to indicate that the GPS position has been acquired and is being transmitted.

A tool designed to manually release emergency oxygen compartment lids on service units during or following depressurization.

A kit that contains disposable masks for passengers and one fire blanket, providing smoke protection and basic fire suppression.

A kit containing essential medical supplies and equipment used for various medical emergencies on board the aircraft.

Used to open passenger service unit lids during or following a depressurization.

Used to release the lids of units in the lavatories, galleys, and above cabin crew seats during or following a depressurization.

The MRT is typically found under each forward and aft cabin crew station.

An ELT transmits on 406 MHz for 24 hours and 121.5 MHz for 50 hours. This dual-frequency transmission helps both commercial and military search and rescue teams locate the distress signal.

To deploy the ELT, you must ensure the antenna is not broken and the ELT switch is in the ARM position.

During an emergency, the ELT can be pulled out from its mounting bracket and placed outside the aircraft, allowing for better signal transmission to satellites.

The ELT can be used both on land and in water, providing a signal in various emergency scenarios.

The ELT can transmit its location through GPS signals. However, the GPS position can only be acquired for the first 3 minutes after activation and transmitted for a maximum of 4 hours.

When activated, the ELT emits a blinking amber light, which turns green upon successful GPS signal reception. After 4 hours, if no GPS signal is available, the light returns to amber.

The ELT is designed for a battery life of 7.5 years, supporting its reliable operation in critical situations.
