PORTABLE OXYGEN BOTTLES (POB)

1 next to the FA jump seat, 1L2 in the last cabinet of the hallway credenza2 in the galley island pull out compartment across from the cook top

Five portable oxygen bottles, complete with regulators and masks, are installed throughout the cabin.

THERAPEUTIC OXYGEN BOTTLE

There are 2 Therapeutic O2 Bottles. One therapeutic O2 bottle is located in the Crew Rest Area O/H bin. The 2nd Therapeutic O2 Bottle is located in the Aft Lounge doghouse on a/cleft.

PROTECTIVE BREATHING EQUIPMENT

There are five PBE’s onboard; One in the flight deck, two in first overhead bin of the crew rest and two in the center overhead of the aft lounge.

1.The hood completely encloses the head, and seals at the neck area with a thin elastic neck seal.2. Adjustment straps at the side of the hood secure it to the head.3. A shroud extends downward from the neck area to protect the user from direct flame contact.4. A speaking diaphragm is installed in the oral/nasal mask cone to enhance communication.5. Duration of the chemically supplied oxygen system is approximately 15minutes.

SELF CONTAINED UNIT

SCUs should be donned when conditions warrant or when directed by the PIC/Lead FA.The PBE should be used when locating and/or fighting an inflight fire, not the SCU.

The SCU is a self-contained, portable, protective breathing device designed to safeguard the wearer from the effects of smoke, carbon dioxide, harmful gases, and oxygen deficiency while managing or escaping an in-flight fire, smoke of fume emergency. The SCU improves the wearer's ability to see in smoke-filled compartments, protects the head and face from melting or dripping plastics and shields the head against brief exposure to heat and flame.

Warning:The SCU is an escape device only. Once the hood is donned, the wearer must exit the area where the hazard exists. As soon as s/he is away from the danger area, the hood must be removed.

Donning the SCUWhen unfolding the hood, do not shake it to inflate as this could trap toxic gases inside prior to donning.

For spectacle wearers, it is recommended to slip the hood over the back of the head first, then pull the neck seal opening forward and down, stretching it to clear the glasses and avoid dislodging them.

Hair, jewelry, etc., must be tucked inside the SCU to ensure a proper seal.

Make sure shirt collars are on the outside of the neck seal.

After taking the hood out of its package and unfolding it, hold it with the neck seal towards you with the cylinder at the bottom. Then, place your hands inside the neck seal hole with palms facing each other. Spread your hands and stretch the neck seal wide open. Place the hood over your head (the cylinder will now be in the front). Make sure the neck seal is pulled down as far on your neck as possible. Immediately pull the red ball and cord with your right hand while holding the cylinder with your left hand. The lever must be pulled completely free of the valve to start the flow of oxygen.

Fire Gloves

One (1) pair of flame retardant gloves are located in the galley island along with the halon fire extinguisher and 2 POBs.

Fire Containment Bag Location

Fire bags are located in the last hallway closet. These are primarily used to contain lithium battery fires from portable electronics.

Emergency Lighting

The emergency lighting consists of:passenger cabin interior emergency lightspassenger exterior emergency lightsaft flight deck dome light (one bulb only)

The emergency lighting system provides direction to exit locations and illuminates the egress paths inside and outside the airplane.

Emergency Light Controls

The switch normally remains in the guarded armed position. The UNARMED light comes on if the switch is moved to OFF or the emergency lights are manually activated from the flight attendant station.

Flight attendant station Overhead panel

Emergency Lights Automatic Ops

All emergency lights illuminate if airplane electrical power fails or is turned off.Opening an armed door or an over-wing exit causes the exterior emergency lights on that side of the airplane to illuminate.

Automatic operation occurs if DC power fails or is turned off when the system is armed or opening an armed door.

Emergency or Hazardous SituationsThe flight is unable to establish a definite positionThe flight is 60 minutes or more overdue and has not been heard from at the terminal, intermediate station, or check point, and contact with the flight has not been establishedFailure or malfunctioning of the aircraft or any component or system which interferes with its safe operationFire aboard the aircraftCommunications or navigation facilities impaired to the point where orientation and letting-down-through procedures are very difficult or impossibleEngine failureHazardous weatherSmoke or any condition which might be caused by hazardous materialsAny other situation which may arise and which may affect the safety of the flight may be declared an emergency situation by either the Captain, ATC, or the Manager of Operations

The occurrence of any of the following situations shall constitute an emergency or hazardous situation, which shall be so declared by the Captain, ATC, or the manager of operations whichever shall first become aware of such situation.

Fire

Fire Containment Bag Operation

Put on fire gloves found inside the fire bag. If fire is obvious and laptop cannot be handled, use the halon extinguisher to smother the fire.Place the laptop in the fire bag, remove the pull strap and close Velcro on the bag completely. This action ensures the fire remains contained regardless of the number of cells in the battery. Carefully relocate the closed bag to the galley and place on the floor at door 2R.

Don’t forget to complete required paperwork (via PRISM)

Classes of fires

Class A - Use H2O extinguisher:Combustible material: paper, wood, fabric, rubber, certain plastics, etc., where quenching by water is the most effective means of extinguishing the fire.

Class B - Use Halon extinguisher:Flammable liquids: gasoline, oils, greases, solvents, paints, cooking fats, etc., where smothering action is required.

Class C - Use Halon extinguisher:Live electrical: Fires started by short circuit or faulty wiring in electrical, electronic equipment, or fires in motors, galley equipment, etc., where non-conducting extinguisher agent is required. When fighting Class C fires, it is imperative that the electrical power is off PRIOR to using the extinguisher.

Each class of fire calls for specialized action. Using the wrong extinguisher may do more harm than good.

Fire Extinguisher Basics

The duration of a halon extinguisher is 8 seconds continuously. The duration of a water extinguisher is 30-45 seconds.

Pull the pin or turn the handle.Until the pin is released, the extinguisher islocked. The pin needs to be removed to release the handle or lever.

Aim at the base of the fire.The extinguisher must be aimed at the base of the fire in order to remove the source of fuel.

Squeeze the top handle or lever.This will release the extinguishing agent. Releasing the lever will stop the flow. Hand held extinguishers should always be held upright.

Sweep from side to side.Use the extinguisher in a sweeping motion. Initially, stand 8-10' away. As the fire reduces, move closer with the extinguisher. Always directthe nozzle at the base of the fire.

NOTE: Most water extinguishers require that the handle be turned in a clockwise direction, to pierce the CO2 cartridge and pressurize the extinguisher.

The Halon Fire Extinguisher

There are 5 onboard:1 in the cockpit1 in the crew rest area, forward O/H bin1 in the last hallway credenza1 in the Aft Lounge, last O/H centerline bin1 in galley island

The extinguisher contains a liquefied gas agent under pressure. When released, it vaporizes and extinguishes the fire.

Using Halon

Avoid discharging directly on persons due to possibility of suffocation.Do not get too close to the fire as the discharge stream may scatter the fire.Duration of halon is 8 seconds continuous and 25 seconds intermittent.

The extinguisher is effective on class A, B, and C fires. However, if it is used on a class A fire, ensure that an H2O or other non-flammable liquid is used afterwards to drench the fire. This prevents the fire from smoldering.

The Water Fire ExtinguisherThere are 3 water fire extinguishers on theaircraft:

1 under the State Room bed1 in the hallway, last credenza1 in the Aft Lounge, last O/H centerline bin

The water fire extinguisher is gray-green in color, and is used on Class A fires only. It is not to be used on Class B or C for any reason as water conducts electricity and will spread the fuel or grease keeping the fire alive. Discharge duration is 30-45 seconds.

Evacuation

Evacuation: Flight Deck Preparations

Review pertinent checklists and any other actions to be accomplishedDiscuss appropriate use of autobrakesAssess exit conditions and advise cabin crewConsider airplane positioning relative to wind for fires

If an evacuation is planned and time permits, a thorough briefing and preparation of the crew and passengers improves the chances of a successful evacuation. For unplanned evacuations, the captain needs to analyze the situation carefully before initiating an evacuation order. Quick actions in a calm and methodical manner improve the chances of a successful evacuation.

Method of Evacuation

Urgency of situationPossibility of significant injury or loss of life if delay

Type of threatStructural damage, fire, bomb threat….

Possibility of fire spreading rapidlySpilled fuel or other flammable materials

Extent of damage to the airplanePossibility of passenger injury during an emergency evacuation using slides

When there is a need to evacuate, the captain must decide between an emergency evacuation and less urgent methods. If in doubt, consider an evacuation using escape slides and use the emergency evacuation checklist. If a less urgent means is chosen, then complete the normal shutdown procedure before evacuating.

Captain Notifies Lead FA

For time critical conditions, the captain will press the ALERT switch and the lead flight attendant will come to the flight deck. For non-time critical situations, the normal cabin interphone system is used.

Sounds a two tone chime 3 time at all FA stations

Emergency Landing Communication

Inform the lead FA or make a PAApproximately 5 minutes prior to touchdown announce “Prepare for landing”Approximately 50 ft push the Alert switch

FA’s will command the brace positionAnnounce “Evacuate Evacuate Evacuate” orAnnounce “Remain Seated” if emergency evacuation is not required

The PIC will make the above communications with the cabin to allow the flight attendants to manage the passenger cabin.

Flight Deck Emergency Egress

There is an escape rope on each side of the overhead panel to exit the flight deck through the side windows. Make sure the rope is connected before you exit.

ESCAPE EQUIPMENT

Slide/rafts are located at each door, 2 forward and 2 aft. Window exits are equipped with ramp/slides only.Raft capacity is 58/78

The escape equipment consists of 6 inflatable slides, 4 of which also serve as rafts.

To open door in emergency modeAccess conditions

Pull the door handle up

If the slide did not inflate, reach down and pull the manual inflation handle

If the PIC declares an emergency evacuation, then the door is opened without disarming the slide.

Overwing Exits

The overwing exits are used as when the other exits are not available or adequate and when the PIC declares an emergency evacuation. After removing the door, a slide can be deployed using a handle in the upper aft section of the window structure. The overwing exit slides cannot be used as rafts. An escape strap is attached to a point on the wing to prevent walking off the forward part of the wing.

Inflation handle

Evacuation Duties & Positions

Ditching Procedure

Recall there is a ditching checklist in the un-annunciated section.

Life Vests

There are 15 crew and 32 passenger life vests onboard. Each vest has two chambers, separately inflated by CO2 cartridges. Each vest has a light that comes on when in the water and the device attached to the battery is pulled.

Life Vest Operation

Tear open the pouch; place it over your head; fasten the straps around you waist; and inflate when leaving the aircraft.

Duties & Responsibilities - Ditching

These are the assignments after ditching.

Preparing the Raft for Deployment

To release the raft from the door, lift this flap to expose the detachment handle and instructions.

Raft Deployment

Make sure the slide detachment handle flap is OPEN

Pull flap open to expose the handle. The flap is held in place by Velcro-type tape.

Slide detachment handle = PULLPulling the slide detachment handle completely free of the slide causes the top of the slide to separate from the girt bar.

The slide will remain attached to the aircraft by a lanyard. If necessary, the lanyard can be cut with the knife located on the raft/slide

To release the evacuation slide or slide/raft from the aircraft follow these steps.

Life Raft Re-boarding

A strap and handle allows re-entry into the life raft if you missed the boat.

Emergency Locator Transmitter

An emergency locator transmitter , or ELT, is located on the life rafts at doors 1L and 2R in the event of a ditching. The unit can be activated manually or automatically, but is designed for “hands off” automatic activation and operation anytime it is deployed.

The transmitter simultaneously emitsdistress signals on emergency frequencies for aminimum of 4 hours and a range between 100-280 miles.

Threat Procedures

The last topic is dealing with bomb threats.

Inflight Bomb ProceduresAdvise all affected FAA stations/facilities of emergency your immediate intentions.Advise all crewmembers of the emergency, instructing them to perform the necessary emergency functions appropriate to their duties. Land at the nearest suitable airport.After landing, park the aircraft in an isolated area, and deplane the passengers immediately. The crew will secure the aircraft and deplane also.

The PIC will ensure these items happen if there is a bomb or bomb threat inflight. Also be prepared for the possibility of a rapid decompression.

If a bomb is found inflight and it is determined it can be moved to the least risk bomb location, wrap the device in wet, absorbent materials and relocate it to the galley service door, A/C right (door 2R).

Hijacking

AAC policy is to comply with the demands of a hijack whenever, in the PIC’s opinion, such compliance does not jeopardize the safety of passengers or crew. If, in the PIC’s judgment, termination of the hijacking is a safer course of action, he is authorized to initiate prescribedaction from the Flight Operations Manual.

Special Destinations

Maintain a TAS less than 400KMaintain an altitude between 10,000 and 25,000 feetTransmit a MAY DAY signal on any of the international distress frequencies (121.5MHz, 2182KHz)Use transponder code 7500 or 7700 as appropriate

If the hijacker demands the Soviet Union, People's Republic of China, Vietnam or North Korea for his destination, the pilot will attempt to do as many of the se items as possible.
