A manually inflatable deck float at the center of liferaft provides additional buoyancy.

Lifelines on the outboard perimeter are installed for survivors to grasp from the water. Internal lifelines allows survivors to steady themselves on the liferaft.

Boarding handles and ladders are located at each end of lifelines to enable survivors to climb aboard.

A mooring line can be attached to the airplane by means of a snap hook to prevent the liferaft of blowing away from survivors as they are boarding. The mooring line is attached to the inflation system and is used with the inflation pull handle to initiate the inflation of liferaft.

A floating knife is provided to cut the mooring line in the event of airplane is sinking or on fire.

Manual inflate/deflate valves allow survivors to increase air pressure connecting a hand pump supplied in the survival kit. The pump must be squeezed until the desired pressure has been obtained.

A heaving ring and line is provided as a rescue aid and can be thrown to survivors in the water.

The sea anchor is used to control the drift rate and orientation of liferaft.

Two locator lights provide ais in locating liferaft at night. The lights are operated by water-activated batteries.

The survival kit is available in the liferaft and includes:

- Liferaft manual;

- First aid equipment;

- Tube repair kit;

- Hand pump with adapter;

- Signaling devices, such as flash light and flares;

- Orange canopy to provide protection against enviromental conditions.

FLIGHT CREW OXYGEN SYSTEM Flight crew oxygen is provided via a conventional, high-pressure, gaseous-type system. The cylinder is installed in the forward cargo compartment.

Flight crew and observer full-face, quick-donning masks and regulators are stowed in oxygen mask boxes near each seat. Removing the mask from the stowage box, and pressing the harness inflation control valve, will inflate the harness and initiate oxygen flow, thereby rendering the mask ready for use. An oxygen supply control knob is used to set the oxygen flow to normal, 100% or emergency mode.

PASSENGER AND CABIN CREW OXYGEN SYSTEM Individual chemical oxygen generators supply the passenger oxygen system. The passenger oxygen system provides oxygen for the following items: PSUs, flight attendant stations, lavatories, and galley areas.

The chemical oxygen generators and passenger oxygen masks are located in the dispensing units housed in the passenger service units (PSU), above the passenger seats. Each dispensing unit contains either two or three masks, each supplying oxygen for approximately 12 minutes. The masks are held in a mask retainer. Once the masks begin supplying oxygen, they cannot be shut off.

The oxygen masks are held in a mask retainer. The yellow mask must be pulled out of the retainer. Oxygen flows whenever any yellow mask hanging from the dispensing unit is pulled downward. Pulling the oxygen mask downward causes all the masks in that particular unit to drop, with 100% oxygen flow to the masks. A green, in-line flow indicator is visible in the transparent oxygen hose whenever oxygen is flowing to the masks. The masks automatically drop from the dispensing unit if cabin altitude exceeds 14000 ft. Manual deployment can be performed from the cockpit by positioning the passenger oxygen selector knob to the override position.

PROTECTIVE BREATHING EQUIPMENT (PBE) The PBE unit is for emergency use only, providing the flight crew and flight attendants with oxygen for respiratory and visual protection from fire, smoke and other harmful gases.

There are three PBEs located in the passenger cabin and one in the flight compartment.

PROTECTIVE BREATHING EQUIPMENT (SCOTT)

PBE device consists basically of a double layer synthetic material hood, which isolates user’s head from the external environment and a life support pack, where a chemical reaction produces oxygen. PBE is vacuum-sealed in a transparent bag and contained within a carrying plastic case. The unit is for emergency use only, providing the crew with positive pressure oxygen for respiratory and visual protection from fire, smoke and other harmful gases at altitudes up to 40000 ft. The oxygen supply is at least 15 minutes.

The equipment hood isolates the head from the external ambient by means of an elastic neck seal. Pulling the chemical oxygen generator actuation ring initiates the oxygen flow. Once the oxygen flow is started, it cannot be stopped.

The carrying case has an inspection window, which allows visualization of a “good condition strap” without opening the case. In case of leakage, the “good condition indicator” will turn from blue to pink, indicating that the unit is unserviceable. In case of a vacuum loss, even with the “good condition indicator” blue, the unit is also unserviceable.

PROTECTIVE BREATHING EQUIPMENT (AEROSPACE)

The PBE is installed as a two component system, a low moisture transmission vacuum sealed bag, and a protective stowage box. The stowage box may have a tamper seal to help protect the vacuum bag. In case this seal is employed, pre flight inspection is done by checking the integrity of the tamper seal, and the presence of the vacuum bag through the inspection port. If no tamper seal is employed, the inspection may be done by visually determining if the vacuum bag is intact and not inflated. If the PBE is not in usable conditions, the unit must be replaced.

The unit itself is designed to protect user’s eyes and respiratory tract in an atmosphere containing smoke and fumes, by isolating the eyes and breathing functions from the environment. If used correctly, it will provide at least 15 minutes of oxygen to the user.
