MEGAPHONE The megaphone is used for giving instructions to passengers, when the PA system is inoperative or during an evacuation. Pre-flight Check: 1. Present / In place 2. Check if operative Operation: 1. Depress PRESS-TO-TALK switch. 2. Speak into the microphone (hold close to the mouth). 3. Direct SPEAKER towards person being addressed HALON FIRE EXTINGUISHER Pre-flight Check: 1. Check pressure gauge is in the Green band. 2. The locking pin is placed through the handle and lever. Operation: TPASS T – twist seal P – pull the pin A – aim at the base of the fire S – squeeze the lever S – sweep side to side WATER FIRE EXTINGUISHER Used for fires on ordinary combustible materials like fabric, paper, plastic, etc. where cooling effects of water is important. It is also used for damping down deep seated fires after using the Halon extinguisher Discharge Range - approximately 20 feet Duration - 30 – 40 seconds Pre-flight Check 1. Check that the safety wire and seal on the handle are not broken. 2. Ensure that the nozzle opening is not blocked with foreign objects. Operation 1. Rotate handle fully clockwise to pressurize the extinguisher. 2. Hold extinguisher upright and aim nozzle at the base of the fire. 3. Press trigger to discharge ELT Duration – 48 hours Evacuation Commands Brace for Impact – Bend over, stay down Evacuate, Evacuate – Open Seatbelts, Open Seatbelts Water Landing – Come this way! Step in, Inflate Life Vest Terrain Landing – Come this way! Jump, Jump Exit is not Usable – No exit, go that way Classification of Turbulence Light Turbulence Moderate Turbulence Severe Turbulence Matching Type Asbestos Hand Gloves - this is used to grasp hot or burning parts 2 types of Decompression Slow Decompression – this is the gradual loss of cabin pressure caused by slow leak. Rapid Decompression – when you hear a loud bang, or presence of fog in the cabin. Protective Breathing Equipment (PBE) – this is used to protect and aid cabin crew in fighting the fire Water Fire Extinguisher – do not use this on electrical fire Crash Axe – this is used to pry a panel away if the source fire is difficult to locate. Unplanned Landing/Evacuation - Unprepared emergency no time to coordinate actions among flight crew Turbulence - A state of movement usually shaking or vibrating of the aircraft Lavatory Smoke Detector - This alarm will sound if there is smoke in the lavatory Time of Useful Consciousness - You only have 30 seconds in 35,000 ft. PORTABLE OXYGEN BOTTLE Oxygen bottles are high pressure cylinders that provide continuous flow of supplementary oxygen for air crew and passengers. Portable Oxygen Bottle (Dual Outlet Oxygen Bottle) A sling type carry strap. An ON/OFF regulator valve. A pressure gauge indicating contents. Two constant-flow outlets (HI and LO). One outlet is marked HI (delivering 4 liters per minute) and the other is marked LO (delivering 2 liters per minute). Pre-flight Check: Pointer is in the red band (full) of the pressure gauge. Operation: Ensure portable oxygen mask is inserted in the appropriate outlet. 1. Turn the ON/OFF regulator valve fully counterclockwise. 2. Check the flow indicator on the tubing for the oxygen flow to the mask. 3. Fit the mask over the user’s face. After use, turn the ON/OFF regulator valve fully clockwise to the OFF position.
