M U C After Use Procedure and Inoperative Portable Oxygen Bottle On Board: O D IS – Once completed administering, remove mask from the bottle and keep it in a plastic bag to be handed over TH to the engineering at base. – Portable Oxygen unit (Inoperative - Filled with oxygen but not functional). Any inoperative device should be placarded inoperative (US) and placed in the last right hand overhead stowage for A320/A321. Inform the Captain and an entry to be made in the Cabin Defect Logbook. Inoperative units to be replaced, serviced or removed at the base. Distribution of serviceable bottles is maintained throughout the aircraft cabin. Departure from Base with an inoperative oxygen bottle is not permitted. © Air Arabia – Cabin Safety Procedure Manual,  REMOVABLE SAFETY EQUIPMENT Chapter 3 Page 9 CABIN SAFETY PROCEDURE MANUAL OXYGEN EQUIPMENT Rev.14+ – 12 May 2023 – Portable Oxygen Unit (Partially filled). Any used unit which indicates below 500 PSI, should be placarded inoperative (US) and placed in the last right hand overhead stowage for A320/A321. It can be used only by crew in case of rapid decompression. Any partially filled device indicating above 500 PSI should be placed and secured in its original place and all crew should be briefed about the filling status. Inform the Captain and an entry to be made in Defect Log Book. Used units should be replaced, serviced or removed at the base. Departure from Base with an inoperative oxygen bottle below 1500 psi is not permitted. 3.2.2 PROTECTIVE BREATHING EQUIPMENT (PBE) AIR LIQUIDE (CAT.IDE.A.245) The PBE protects the user's eyes and respiratory system against heat, smoke, and/or toxic gases. It ensures that a minimum of 15 min of total autonomy is available. D TE The PBE is readily available to cabin attendants. The primary purpose of the PBE is to supply oxygen to cabin IN PR attendants, in the event of a fire, smoke and/or toxic gases. It enables them to move about freely in the cabin and extinguish a fire.

On some types of fire, water must be used to cool the burned material after using the Halon. Pre-flight Check: – Correct stowage and quantity. – Needle of the pressure gauge is in the green band. – Black Safety catch secure with wire seal intact. D – Expiry Date. TE IN PR IF ED LL O TR N O C N U IS Operation: T – Hold extinguisher upright with hand under carrying EN handle and thumb on top of the black safety catch. M U – Push down the black safety catch to break the seal. C O – Hold extinguisher upright with hand under carrying D handle and thumb on top of trigger lever. IS TH – If it is not an open fire (i.e. Oven fire, Hot Lav fire, OHS fire) where you can not see the actual discharge of halon, the fire extinguisher must be first tested by a very short burst. – From a distance of approximately 1-2 meters direct the nozzle towards the base of the fire source. As the fire reduces, move closer with the extinguisher – Spray the Halon in a sweeping motion (side-to-side) when dealing with open fires. – Spray the Halon in short bursts when dealing with contained fires. Note 1: If the Halon fire extinguisher is used on Material fire such as wood, paper, plastic, saturate the site of the fire with water or any non-flammable liquid immediately afterwards, as residual heat, particularly in a deep-seated fire, may cause re-ignition. If electric is present do not use water or liquids. © Air Arabia – Cabin Safety Procedure Manual,  REMOVABLE SAFETY EQUIPMENT Chapter 3 Page 15 CABIN SAFETY PROCEDURE MANUAL FIRE FIGHTING EQUIPMENT Rev.11 – 07 October 2020 Note 2: The decomposition products of HALON fire extinguisher have a characteristic acrid smell and an eye-irritating effect when large quantities are used. These are not dangerous or incapacitating in the concentrations present after discharge, as the size of the HALON charge is limited for a given aircraft compartment volume. Note 3: HALON fire extinguisher is heavier than air, so it can be applied above the fire and then will drop onto it. Note 4: HALON fire extinguisher is so efficient it can be applied in short bursts, and will evaporate away after use. It is ideal for electrical fires as it does not conduct electricity. Note 5: When halon is used in crew compartments or confined areas, Portable Breathing Equipment (PBE) should be used. Limitation – Hold within 60 degrees of vertical. D – Before discharging a Halon extinguisher on the flight deck, Flight Crew should put on their full face masks TE and set the crew oxygen regulators at 100% (diluter lever). IN PR Duration of Full Discharge: IF ED Approximately 10 seconds of full discharge. LL O TR 3.4.2 FIRE GLOVES N O These gloves are made of a heat resistant material and are to be C N worn to protect the hands and arms when fighting a fire. They are U used to enable the user to grasp hot or burning parts and dampen IS T small fires. EN M Pre-flight Check: Correct stowage, quantity and in good condition.

The Fire axe has: A cutting edge, intended for short chopping attacks on metal and metal lining. A pick end, used to stir up fibre, seat packing and wall lining. An insulated handle, to protect user from electrical shock (24,000 volts). Pre-flight Check: Correct stowage, quantity and in good condition.

Features: – Inflation is from an integral carbon dioxide gas cylinder. Inflation is achieved by pulling the attached cord D or red toggle when required. TE IN PR – Mouthpiece can be used to inflate the life jacket orally if the carbon dioxide gas system fails and for topping up if the pressure is lost or deflating the life jacket. IF ED – Locator light will come-on automatically when its battery is immersed in water (life span of light is 8 hours). LL O – A Whistle for attracting attention. TR N O C 3.5.2 FITTING ADULT LIFE JACKET ON A CHILD N U Children over 2 years old can wear an adult life jacket. IS T EN Operation: M U C – Push the middle strap (with battery) and the adjustment tape inside and upwards through the life jacket O D head opening. IS TH – Attach strap loosely, inflate only 1 chamber inside the aircraft and always away from the child; adjust strap as required. Note: Inflate only 1 chamber of life jacket away from the child before donning it on the child inside the cabin.Advise parent to inflate the second chamber outside the aircraft. 3.5.3 OPERATION OF ADULT LIFE JACKET Open sealed bag and take life jacket out. Place life jacket over the head. Fasten buckle. Pull the tape around waist until the life jacket is properly adjusted. Inflate the life jacket by pulling sharply down on both red toggles. If automatic inflation fails blow into the mouth pieces. Note: Adult life jackets must be inflated just before leaving the aircraft and not in the aircraft itself. © Air Arabia – Cabin Safety Procedure Manual,  REMOVABLE SAFETY EQUIPMENT Chapter 3 Page 18 CABIN SAFETY PROCEDURE MANUAL LIFE JACKETS Rev.11 – 07 October 2020 LIGHT INFLATABLE ASSEMBLY CELLS ORAL INFLATION SYSTEMS TUBES GAS WAISTBELT INFLATION HARNESS SYSTEMS D TE IN PR 1 JERKS TO IF ED INFLATE BUCKLE LL 3 O TR HARNESS WATER ACTIVATED N PULL−TAB BATTERY O C N U IS 2 T EN M U C O D IS TH 5 4 4 © Air Arabia – Cabin Safety Procedure Manual,  REMOVABLE SAFETY EQUIPMENT Chapter 3 Page 19 CABIN SAFETY PROCEDURE MANUAL LIFE JACKETS Rev.11 – 07 October 2020 3.5.4 OPERATION OF INFANT LIFE JACKET Open sealed bag and take life jacket out.
