Study Notes

Emergency and Safety Equipment

  • Equipment is located throughout the aircraft for crew and passenger safety.
  • Crew members must be familiar with equipment types, locations, and pre-flight checks.
  • Examples of emergency equipment include oxygen systems, protective breathing equipment, megaphones, fire extinguishers, emergency locator transmitters, flashlights, demo kits, first aid kits, emergency medical kits, and more.
  • Examples of safety equipment include seatbelts, seat belt and life vest quantity, passenger safety cards, emergency locator transmitters, manual release tools, smoke and fire kits, universal precaution kits, dangerous goods kits, restraint kits, emergency kits bags and more.
  • Emergency and safety equipment layouts are available for the front and rear sections of each aircraft.
  • Crew members should verify the layout matches the actual equipment on board.

Oxygen Systems

  • Two independent oxygen systems exist on the airplane: one for passengers/cabin crew and one for the flight deck.
  • Portable oxygen bottles are also available for emergency situations.
  • Emergency oxygen masks are available for flight crew and observers, and are either half-face or full-face and can be used with glasses.
  • In situations with smoke in the flight deck area, half-face masks are to be worn before smoke goggles.
  • The procedures of donning each type of mask are documented.

Portable Oxygen Bottles

  • Portable oxygen bottles are located throughout the passenger cabin for first aid purposes.
  • Bottle capacities can be 120 liters or 310 liters.
  • 120-liter bottles provide different flow rates (hi/low) for various durations
  • 310-liter bottles provide different flow rates (hi/low) for various durations

Protective Breathing Equipment (PBE)

  • Smoke hoods are accessible to flight crew for use in fire situations.
  • The smoke hoods provide oxygen and protection from smoke.
  • There are two types of smoke hoods (Drager/Oxycrew and Scott/Avox) which differ slightly in oxygen capacity, which provides a different duration of protection.

Gloves

  • Two pairs of gloves are located in the front and rear passenger cabins
  • Gloves are for use in firefighting situations
  • Gloves should not be wet as they lose effectiveness.

Life Vests

  • One life vest is provided per passenger and crew seat.
  • Red vests are for crew, and yellow for passengers.
  • Children ages 2-12 should use adult/child life vests.
  • Lifes vests are to not be inflated inside the aircraft.
  • Different types of life vests (Type 1 and Type 2) have different numbers of inflation/mouth pieces in them.

Fire Extinguishers

  • Portable fire extinguishers are located near crew stations and in the flight deck.
  • Different types of fire extinguishers (Class A, B, and C) are designed for various types of fire.
  • The correct type of extinguisher must be used to avoid causing more harm than good.
  • Using the wrong extinguisher on a fire, especially an electrical fire, can cause significant harm or even death.

Other Equipment

  • Megaphones
  • Crash axes
  • Smoke goggles
  • Manual Release Tools (MRT)
  • Smoke and Fire Kits (SFK)
  • Universal Precaution Kits (UPK)
  • Dangerous Goods Kits (DGK)
  • Restraint Kits
  • Emergency Kits Bags
  • Flashlights (FLA)

Additional Information

  • Equipment locations are provided in diagrams/charts
