Airplane Description
Auxiliary Power Unit (APU)
An APU is mounted in the tail of the airplane. The APU is a gas turbine engine
capable of operating both in the air and on the ground. On the ground, the APU
provides electrical power and bleed air necessary to operate the airplane systems
if external ground services are not available. In flight, the APU serves as a backup
source for normally engine powered electrical and bleed air systems.
Electrical Power
The airplane electrical power system supplies 115 volt AC and 28 volt DC power
to the airplane on the ground. Power can also be supplied by the APU or, on the
ground, by external power carts. The system is designed so that in case of the loss
of one or more generators, electrical power to one or more galleys will be removed
automatically.
Air Conditioning and Pressurization
Normally, the bleed air used for air conditioning and pressurization is supplied by
the engines. The APU can also be used to supply bleed air. Temperature is
controlled separately for the flight deck and for the passenger cabin. Temperature
can be set manually to suit the needs of the passengers or cabin crew.
The cabin pressure is controlled automatically to provide a programmed cabin
altitude.
Passenger Cabin
Flight Deck Security Door
The flight deck security door meets requirements for resistance to ballistic
penetration and intruder entrance. The door opens into the passenger cabin. There
is a step between the flight deck and the cabin. When closed, the door locks when
electrical power is available and unlocks when electrical power is removed. A
viewing lens in the door allows observation of the passenger cabin. The door can
be manually opened from the flight deck by turning the door handle.
The door incorporates a deadbolt with a key lock. Locking the deadbolt on the
flight deck side prevents the key from unlocking the door on the passenger cabin
side

Airplane Description
The flight deck access system consists of an emergency access panel, chime
module, three position lock control selector, two indicator lights, and a power
cutoff switch. The emergency access panel includes a six button keypad for
entering the numeric access code along with red, amber, and green lights. The red
light illuminates to indicate the door is locked. When the correct emergency
access code is entered, the amber light illuminates. The green light illuminates to
indicate the door is unlocked.
Two indicator lights and a three position lock control selector are located on the
overhead panel. Illumination of the amber LOCK FAIL light indicates the door
lock has failed.
The emergency access code is used to gain access to the flight deck in case of pilot
incapacitation. A flight deck chime and illumination of the amber AUTO UNLK
light indicates the correct emergency access code has been entered and the door is
programmed to unlock after a time delay. Selecting the DENY position on the
door lock control selector denies entry and prevents further keypad entry for
several minutes. To allow entry, the selector is turned to the UNLKD position
which unlocks the door while held in that position. If the emergency access code
is entered and the pilot takes no action, the door unlocks after expiration of the
time delay. Before the door unlocks, the chime sounds continuously and the
AUTO UNLK light flashes.
By pressing "1" then "ENT" keys on the emergency access panel, the flight deck
chime will sound (if programmed).
The door incorporates two pressure sensors that unlock the decompression panels
in the event of flight deck depressurization. These panels open to equalize
pressure in the event of cabin depressurization at a pre-determined value. The
decompression panels have manual release pins. Pulling the pins frees the panels
allowing egress in the event the door is jammed.

Lighting Chapter 3
General
This chapter provides a description of cabin lighting, and interior and exterior
emergency lighting.
Cabin Lighting
Passenger cabin lighting is provided by white incandescent and fluorescent lights.
General cabin illumination is accomplished with ceiling, sidewall wash, and night
lights. These are supplemented by reading, closet, attendant work, galley, and
lavatory lights.
The controls for cabin lighting are located on the forward and aft attendant control
panels.
Ceiling and Sidewall Lights
The business class ceiling and sidewall lights are controlled at the forward
attendant’s panel. Control for economy class ceiling and sidewall lighting is at the
aft attendant’s panel. Light intensity is controlled by a switch located on the
appropriate attendant panel. Light intensity may be selected as desired between
LO and HIGH.
Entry and Threshold Lighting
The forward and aft entry door and threshold areas can be controlled using the
entry lights switch located on the respective attendants panel. Threshold lights at
each entry and service door are on when the door is open and extinguish
automatically when the door is closed. An indirect ceiling threshold light above
the flight deck door, controlled by the cabin lights switch on the forward
attendant’s panel, extinguishes when the flight deck door is opened. This prevents
bright cabin light from entering the cockpit at night. However, care should be
taken as the step into the cockpit is not illuminated.
Reading Lights
Passenger seat reading lights are normally individually controlled at the passenger
seats. However, a switch on the forward attendant’s panel can be used to turn all
the reading lights either on or off.

3.2 D6-82226-200TBC1 January 2, 2004
Lighting
Lavatory Lights
Lavatory interiors are illuminated by one incandescent ceiling light and one or
more fluorescent mirror lights. The incandescent light is on anytime airplane
electrical power is on. The mirror light also comes on when the lavatory door is
locked. The mirror lights are also on, regardless of door position, when the
airplane is on the ground and external or APU electrical power is available.
Work Lights
Each flight attendant station is provided with a work light. The lights are
controlled by switches on the flight attendant panel located at each station.
Galley Lights
Each galley is provided with a work light. The lights are controlled individually
by switches at the respective stations.
Closet Lights
A light is provided in some coat closets for use when normal cabin lighting

Lighting
Emergency Lighting
The emergency lighting system provides direction to exit locations and
illuminates the egress paths inside and outside the airplane.
Emergency Lights - Interior
Interior emergency lights consist of luminescent exit signs, emergency area lights,
door, aisle and escape path lighting.
Exit signs and emergency area lights indicate all passenger cabin exit routes.
Battery powered exit lights are located at each cabin exit.
All passenger cabin emergency area lights are fixed. A single portable exit light is
located in the cockpit. The exit light functions as a flashlight and operates
automatically when the emergency light system is activated.
There are seat-mounted escape-path lights installed. The lights are mounted at
intervals in the aisles and cross-aisles. A lighted exit indicator is located near the
floor by each door and emergency exit. When illuminated, escape path lighting
provides visual guidance for emergency evacuation if all sources of lighting more
than four feet above the aisle floor are obscured by smoke.
Emergency Lights - Exterior
Exterior emergency lighting is provided at the entry and service doors as well as
the overwing flap area. The system is normally controlled by a switch on the
pilot’s overhead panel and is armed prior to flight. When the system is armed, all
interior and exterior emergency lighting comes on automatically if the airplane
electrical power is lost or is turned off. However, the pilots may turn the lights on
at any time using the control switch. A switch on the forward attendant’s panel
may be used to bypass the cockpit control and turn the lights on at any time,
regardless of the position of the cockpit switch. If a door or overwing exit is
opened while the escape slides are armed and the emergency lighting system is
armed, all the exterior emergency lights come on automatically.

Cabin / Service Interphone System
The cabin interphone system is a party type talk/listen network that has stations in
the cockpit, each flight attendants handset, and various internal and external
service jacks.
Removing a handset from stowage automatically connects it to the cabin/service
interphone system. The call switches on the handsets may be used to call flight
attendants at other stations or to call the cockpit. It is not necessary to use the
PUSH TO TALK switch when making an interphone call. Simply hold the handset
microphone to your lips and talk.
To terminate a call, push RESET or stow the handset.
The cabin interphone system can be used to make these calls:
• flight deck-to-attendant
• attendant-to-flight deck
• attendant-to-attendant
• passenger address announcements.
There are four handsets in the cabin:
• at the forward attendant stations and galley complex.
• at the aft attendant stations and galley complex.
• at the mid cabin (door 2L, 3R) attendant stations
Passenger Address System
Passenger address announcements may be made from any of the cabin handset
stations as well as from the cockpit. Speakers are located in every other Passenger
Service Unit, above the attendants stations, and in each lavatory. Passengers also
receive announcements through the entertainment system headsets.
When a handset is removed from stowage, it is connected to the cabin/service
interphone system. Pushing the PA call switch connects the handset to the
passenger address system. The PUSH TO TALK switch must be used for all PA
announcements. Announcements by a flight attendant have priority over the
passenger entertainment system. An announcement from the cockpit has priority
over both the flight attendant’s handset and the passenger entertainment system.
The handset may be reconnected to the interphone system by pushing the RESET
switch or stowing the handset.
A P.A. IN USE light illuminates in the cockpit when any P.A. system is being used.

Communications
Crew Call System
Communications between flight attendants’ stations and/or between the passenger
cabin and the cockpit may be established by using the Crew Call System. The
system consists of call switches in each handset used to select the area where
communications is desired, pink call lights at each attendants’s station, and
attention gaining chimes. The cockpit crew can also us the system to call
maintenance personnel to the exterior communications panels.
Cockpit to Attendant Calls
A call from the cockpit:
• illuminates pink lights in the call panel(s) at the station called.
• sounds a HI/LO chime at the attendant station called. The pink lights are
extinguished when the handset is lifted from stowage.
Attendant to Cockpit Calls
Pushing the PILOT call switch sounds a chime in the cockpit and illuminates a call
light on the pilot’s overhead panel
Attendant to Attendant Calls
The three switches on the handset marked FWD, MID and AFT are used for this
purpose. Pushing a swich illuminates pink call lights and sounds a HI/LO chime
in the attendant area selected. The call is inhibited if the handset at the station
called is not stowed. The pink call lights are extinguished when the handset at the
called station is lifted from stowage, by pushing the RESET switch on the caller’s
handset, or when the caller’s handset is returned to stowage.
All Station ALERT Calls
Pushing the red ALERT switch in any handset sounds a HI/LO chime three times
over the passenger address loudspeaker system and causes the pink call lights at
all attendant’s stations, except for the station making the ALERT, to flash
continuously. The cockpit crew is alerted by a light and a chime. The alert can also
originate from the cockpit. The flashing pink lights are extinguished at each
station separately when the handset at the station is lifted from stowage. The lights
can also be extinguished by pushing RESET or stowing the handset that was used
to make the alert call.

A call from the passenger seating area is made by activating the call switch located
in each passenger seat arm rest.
Activating the call switch:
• illuminates a small white light in the PSU above the seat row
• illuminates a blue master call light(s) on the same side of the cabin in
which the call is initiated
• sounds a single high-tone chime at the attendant station(s) called
Calls from the business class section illuminate master call lights at the forward
attendant stations. Calls from the tourist class section illuminate master call lights
at the mid and aft cabin stations. The white passenger call light extinguishes when
the activated call switch is reset at the arm rest. The blue master call lights
extinguish when all activated passenger call switches are reset. All lights can be
reset by the Master Call Reset switches located on the forward attendant panel.
System power is controlled by the Passenger Service System Power switch on the
forward attendant panel.
Lavatory Call System
A call originating in the lavatory:
• illuminates the amber master call lights at the attendant station(s) called
• illuminates the amber switch light located on the outside wall near the
door of the originating lavatory
• sounds a single high-tone chime at the attendant station(s) called
Calls from the forward lavatory, illuminate master call lights at the forward
attendant stations. Calls from the mid-cabin lavatories illuminate the master call
lights located at the mid-cabin attendant stations respectively. Calls from the aft
lavatories illuminate the master call lights located at the aft left and right attendant
stations respectively. The system is reset and lights extinguished by pushing the
origination lavatory switch light. The amber master call lights extinguish when all

Passenger Signs
Signs indicating No Smoking and/or Fasten Seat Belt conditions are located in the
PSUs and other locations which insure visibility to all passengers. A Return to
Seat indicator is in each lavatory and is visible only when the sign is on. The signs
are controlled in the cockpit either manually or automatically. If the Captain
selects automatic control, all signs will be on when the landing gear is down. On
takeoff, the No Smoking, Fasten Seat Belts, and Return to Seat signs go out when
the landing gear and wing flaps are retracted. During the landing sequence, the
Fasten Seat Belt and Return to Seat signs come on when the flaps are lowered or
the landing gear is down; the No smoking sign comes on when the landing gear is
down. All signs, except the Return to Seat signs, come on automatically if the
cabin altitude should exceed 10,000 feet or if the passenger cabin oxygen system
is deployed. A single low-tone chime sounds over the passenger address
loudspeaker system each time the signs come on or go out.
Entertainment systems
Each passenger seat contains a passenger control unit. Two systems are included
within the control unit, the Passenger Service System (PSS), and the passenger
entertainment system (PES).
The PSS functions are reading light control and attendant call.
The PES functions are multi-channel selection of stereo or monaural music and
video system audio.
An entertainment tape reproducer contains tape cassettes which provide several
channels of monaural or stereo music programs.

Potable Water
The potable water system has a water tank located aft of the bulk cargo
compartment. The system supplies fresh water to the galley units and lavatory
wash basins.
A quantity gauge is located on the forward galley sidewall.
Each galley and lavatory has a shutoff valve which allows any one unit, or
combination of units, to be isolated while the rest of the units remain operating.
The lavatory sink shutoff valves are located behind an access panel below the sink.
Galley water shutoff valves are located in clearly marked compartments at the
galleys.
Hot and cold water is available in the lavatories. The water heater is below the
lavatory sink and maintains a temperature of approximately 125 degrees F (52
degrees C). An amber light on the top of the heater is on when the heater is
operating. The heater can be turned off at any time with a switch adjacent to the
amber light.

Lavatories
Lavatory Waste System
Waste water from the lavatory sinks is drained overboard through drain masts.
The flush cycle of the toilets uses a fresh water rinse from the potable water
system. A flush cycle is initiated by a handle at the top of the toilet unit and lasts
approximately fifteen seconds. Pulling the Flush Valve Manual Shutoff Handle
located under the front of the toilet shroud shuts off the rinse water to the toilet and
deactivates the flush mechanism.
Each lavatory has an independent toilet waste system. Toilet waste is stored in a
toilet tank in each lavatory. During ground servicing the toilet tanks are drained,
rinsed, and a chemical precharge is added. The tanks are vented to the lavatory
vent system.
Each toilet waste tank has a motor-pump filter unit that pumps filtered flushing
fluid into the toilet bowl. Activating the toilet flush handle powers the pump for
ten seconds.
Fire Protection Systems
Lavatory Smoke Detector
A smoke detector is mounted in each lavatory. When activated, it provides an
audible signal and locator light at the forward or aft attendants station.
Once the smoke clears, the red Alarm Indicator Light extinguishes, the horn stops,
and the smoke detector is sensitive to smoke again.

container. The color of the nozzle tips changes to an aluminum color if the
extinguisher has been discharged.
Temperature Indicator
A temperature indicator is located inside the access door below each sink, behind
and above the waste container. Grey dots on the indicator will turn black when
exposed to high temperatures. If any dot has turned black, or a nozzle tip has
changed color, the extinguisher has discharged. An inspection for fire damage
should be made, the extinguisher replaced, and the temperature-indicator placard
replaced before the next flight.

If the sink water faucet buttons do not shut off the running water, the water system
for the sink must be shut off. Turn the WATER SUPPLY selector VALVE, located
in the cabinet under the sink to the TOILET or SHUT OFF position.
Inoperative Toilets
If one of the toilets does not flush check the status of the waste tank for that
respective lavatory. If the waste tank if full, placard all lavatories connected to the
full waste tank as inoperative. If the waste tank is not full, the affected lavatory
should be placarded inoperative.
Toilet Flooding
If a toilet floods due to the water rinse valve sticking open after flushing,
immediately flush the toilet to evacuate excess water from the toilet bowl. If the
water is still flowing, shut off the water for that toilet. Turn the water supply
selector valve to the FAUCET or SHUT OFF position.
Toilet Flush System Blockages
Blockages can occur if large objects are flushed down the toilet. Items which
commonly cause blockages are diapers, hand towels, cups, and large quantities of
toilet paper.
Toilet Flush Valve Fails to Reset
A loud continuous air noise or sucking noise coming from the toilet is caused by
the flush valve sticking in the open position. Close the toilet lid and pull the

Galley Description
Individual galley modules may contain ovens, waste containers, coffee makers,
refrigeration units, storage/servicing carts, sinks and stowage space to aid in food
preparation and dispensing. Removable inserts permit rapid replenishment of
supplies and disposal of waste.
Galleys are equipped with electrical power and water systems. Lighting controls
are located on the galley electric panel. A galley vent system keeps the air fresh.
Service carts are restrained for taxi, takeoff and landing in their respective stowage
areas located at various galleys. The number of food carts shall not exceed the
number of inflight cart restraints available.
Galley Electrical Power
Power for the galleys is available only if the galley power switch on the flight deck
is in the ON position. In flight, with the loss of one or more generators, galley
electrical power is automatically shut off. A Galley Emergency Power Off Switch
is located in each galley. The switch is covered with a red guard. With the red
guard closed, the switch is in the NORMAL (on) position.
Galley Water System
Galley water is supplied from the potable water tanks. The tanks are normally
pressurized from the airplane bleed air system. When bleed air pressure is not
available, alternate pressurization is automatically provided by an electrically
driven air compressor. Water is not available while the tanks are being serviced.
Each galley which has running water is equipped with a WATER SHUT-OFF
VALVE. Positioning the WATER SHUT-OFF VALVE to OFF turns off water to
that galley.

Passenger Entry/Service Doors and Slides
There are a total of six entry/service doors, three on each side of the fuselage
(doors 1L, 1R, 2L, 2R, 4L, 4R). All doors are inward/outward opening plug-type
and can be opened or closed manually from inside or outside the airplane. All
doors rotate forward on two hinges and are held in the open position by a gust lock
that drops into a detent on the upper hinge arm. Lifting the gust lock releases the
hinge arm detent. An evacuation slide is contained in a bustle on the lower face of
the door. A wide-angle lens is mounted in the door for viewing outside the
airplane.
If any of the doors are not closed and latched and locked, an appropriate message
will appear on the flight deck door annunciator panel.
A single lane pneumatic slide is located on the lower face of each entry/service
door. When armed, an escape slide will inflate automatically when the door is
opened from inside the airplane. At the same time, a pneumatic assist system will
power the door to the full open position. A latch on the upper hinge holds the door
open. Escape slide inflation bottle pressure can be checked through a viewer in the
slide bustle.
Moving the arming lever to the ARMED position mechanically locks the slide girt
bar to the floor. A SLIDE light above the door comes on when girt bar carrier
lockdown occurs. Also, a mechanical SLIDE ENGAGED sign extends above the
door handle to guard against inadvertent slide deployment. With the slide armed,
rotating the door handle to the OPEN position unlocks the door, and activates the
pneumatic power assist system. As the door rotates open, the slide deploys.
Automatic inflation occurs after the slide falls approximately 48 inches. When the
slide is rigid it is ready for use. The slide foot area will be illuminated by
self-contained battery powered lights, which illuminate as it inflates. If activated,
the emergency exit light system will illuminate the slide area. The slide itself will
be illuminated by the exterior emergency lights.
In the event automatic inflation fails, a manual inflation handle at the top of the
slide may be pulled to attempt inflation.
The slide is disarmed automatically when the door is opened from outside the
airplane.
If the slide fails to inflate, it can be used as an apron slide. Direct the first four
passengers to climb down the slide suing it as a rope.
For normal operations, the slide must be disarmed before opening the door.
Moving the arming lever to DISARM causes the slide girt bar to detach from the
floor, the SLIDE light to extinguish and the mechanical SLIDE ENGAGED sign
to retract.

Emergency Exit Doors
An emergency door is located aft of the wing on each side of the airplane. The
emergency door is only used as an emergency exit. A slide bustle in the lower face
of the door contains an evacuation slide. A window in the door allows observation
outside of the airplane.
The emergency door is a plug–type door and is hinged on the bottom. Pulling the
door operating handle up lifts the door inward and upward and opens a pressure
relief door. The door can then be pushed out through the door frame and the slide
automatically deploys and inflates.
A manual inflation handle can be pulled if the slide has not automatically inflated.
The emergency door slide is automatically disarmed when the door is opened from
the outside.
The emergency door evacuation slides are not configured as rafts, however they
may be used as auxiliary flotation devices.

Flight Deck Door
The flight deck door is located just aft of the step-down into the cockpit. It is
hinged on the left and opens into the cockpit. An electrical lock on the door is
controlled by a switch in the cockpit. The door can be opened at any time from the
cockpit. However, a key is necessary to open the door from the passenger cabin
side. When unlocked, the door can be opened by pushing it forward into the
cockpit. The door unlocks automatically with loss of electrical power. A
breakaway feature allows the door to be pushed into the cockpit in case the bottom
of the door is jammed by structural deformation or debris. The door latch will also
break away in either direction with a force of 130 to 200 pounds.
Flight Deck Number 2 Windows
The flight deck number two windows can be used for emergency evacuation. Two
escape ropes are located in the cockpit and are stowed in a compartment above
each pilot seat. From the compartments, the ropes follow a covered recessed
channel on the overhead panel then attach to the forward windshield center post
structure. Prior to dropping the rope out of the window, ensure the rope is attached
by pulling down to remove the trim panel covering the channel. The ropes may be
used for egress if passenger exits are inaccessible or unusable.
If the flight deck number two window must be used for emergency evacuation:
• push the lock release on the side window lever lock and pull rearward to
unlock the window.
• open the window by rotating the hand crank on the sidewall until fully
open
• open the access panel and remove the escape rope
• pull sharply on the escape rope to ensure that it is securely attached
• toss the escape rope out the window
• holding onto the escape rope, lower yourself to the ground.

Oxygen Systems
Two independent oxygen systems are installed on the airplane:
• one for the passengers and flight attendants
• one for the flight deck.
Passenger and Flight Attendant Oxygen
The oxygen system is supplied by individual chemical generators. The oxygen
masks and chemical oxygen generators are located above the seats in the
passenger service units (PSUs). Oxygen flows from a PSU generator when any
mask hanging from that PSU is pulled. The masks automatically drop from the
PSUs if cabin altitude exceeds approximately 14,000 feet. The masks can be
manually deployed from the flight deck.
If the masks fail to drop from a PSU, the cover of the oxygen compartment can be
opened manually by releasing the door latch.
Note: The latch can be opened by inserting a key, credit card or other small flat
object through a slot in the face of the PSU.
WARNING: Do not attempt to re-stow the masks.

Halon Fire Extinguishers
Halon fire extinguishers contain a liquefied gas agent under pressure. The
extinguisher pressure indicator shows three pressure ranges:
• acceptable
• recharge
• overcharged.
A safety pin with a pull ring prevents accidental trigger movement. When
released, the liquefied gas agent vaporizes and extinguishes the fire. The
extinguisher is effective on all types of fires, but is used primarily on electrical,
fuel, and grease fires.
WARNING: If a fire extinguisher is to be discharged in the flight deck area,
all flight crew members must wear oxygen masks and use
100% oxygen with emergency selected.
CAUTION: For electrical fires, remove the power source as soon as
possible. Avoid discharging directly on persons due to
possibility of suffocating effects. Do not discharge too close to
fire as the discharge stream may scatter the fire. As with any
fire, keep away from the fuel source. Avoid breathing vapors,
fumes and heated smoke as much as possible.

Non-Normal Situation Guidelines Chapter 9
Land Evacuation Section 10
Overview
This section provides flight attendants with recommended guidelines for
emergency land evacuation.
Your primary responsibility during an evacuation is to direct passenger evacuation
at all exits. The goal is to ensure passengers and crew exit the airplane safely in a
minimum amount of time.
Under abnormal conditions, the airplane might settle in an unusual attitude after
landing. The flight crew must be aware of outside conditions affecting an orderly
evacuation. The flight crew will notify the flight attendants of these conditions.
Use positive commands in a strong and forceful voice when directing the
evacuation, such as:
• “EVACUATE”
• “RELEASE YOUR SEAT BELTS”
• “GET OUT OF YOUR SEATS”
• “COME THIS WAY.”
After slide deployment, verify the slide is safe for use. Position yourself in the
dedicated assist space for that exit. Do not block the exit. Make physical and/or
verbal contact as soon as possible with the passengers approaching the exit.
Again, strong, loud, positive commands must be used, such as:
• “GO”
• “JUMP”
• “MOVE.”
If the exit will not open, or a hazard exists, making the exit unsafe for use, take a
position to prevent passengers from exiting. Hold passengers in the immediate
area until the nearest usable exit can be determined. Redirect the passengers to the
nearest usable exit. Forcefully inform the passengers that the exit will not be used
and why. For example: “DOOR JAMMED” or “NO SLIDE.”
Flight attendants must monitor the progress of the evacuation and the condition of
the slide at their assigned station. Should conditions change such that the safety at
an exit is in doubt, discontinue evacuation at that exit and redirect the passengers
to alternate doors.
In the following guideline, “adjacent exit” is defined as the exit forward or aft of
the “assigned exit.” “adjacent exit” is not used to refer to the exit across from the
assigned exit.

Non-Normal Situation Guidelines
Land Evacuation
Emergency Evacuation Guideline
Communicate with the flight deck.
If time permits, use the PA to:
• brief the passengers (exits, brace positions, and other information, as
required)
• assign helpers
• order the removal of high heels and other restrictive articles
Maintain brace position until the airplane comes to a complete stop.
Initiate Evacuation:
• ensure the airplane has stopped and engines are shutdown
• upon the captain’s command, activate the emergency evacuation signal
(as installed)
• move to assigned stations
• assess safety of inside and outside conditions
If Exit Is Usable:
• open the exit
• pull the manual inflation handle (if required)
• command passengers to stand back until the slide is fully deployed
Be assertive (forceful) in your commands. Research has proven assertive
action by cabin crew can accelerate passenger emergency evacuation
rates. It is extremely important that assertive actions be strongly
emphasized in any flight attendant training program.
• assume a protective position in the dedicated assist space
All exits have a dedicated assist space forward or aft of the exit. Maintain
your position in the assist space, keeping the exit path clear to prevent
interfering with passenger evacuation. When the assist space is against a
vertical surface (such as a partition, lavatory, or galley) keeping your
heels and upper back pressed against that surface helps to ensure that you
stay clear of the exit path.
• Your primary duty is to maintain constant flow (dual or single lane as
applicable) of passengers out the exit.
• Continually assess conditions inside the aircraft and on the slide to ensure
passenger flow is maintained.
Passengers who sit and delay at the top of the slide rather than jumping
will slow the evacuation. Commanding the passenger behind such a
“sitter” to push that person out onto the slide can prevent significant
delays in an evacuation.
• Take appropriate action to assist hesitant passengers

757 Flight Attendant Manual
A
Non-Normal Situation Guidelines
Land Evacuation
Take action to speed up hesitant passengers. Use sharp verbal commands.
For hesitant passengers within your reach, push at waist level to move
them out through the exit. Do not push at knee or shoulder level.
• If there are no more passengers approaching your exit and the exit across
from you (passenger flow has ceased) take appropriate actions to:
• attract additional passengers to come toward your exit; use strong,
loud, positive commands or, if necessary
• continue to monitor and protect your exit.
In mixed class airplane interiors, passenger densities in the forward zone of the
cabin are lower than the middle and aft zones. Use of redirection to maintain flow
at the forward doors becomes even more important in these airplanes.
When redirecting, avoid disrupting passenger flow to your exit. Redirect
passengers singly or in small groups to maintain balanced flows.
If one exit of any exit pair is unusable, redirect passengers to the nearest usable
exit. This will allow minimum disruption of flow at the usable exit. Total
evacuation time is minimized when passengers clear all exits (passenger flow at
all exits ceases) at the same time.
Exit the airplane following the last passenger, using the nearest exit.

9.10.4 D6-82226-200TBC1 January 2, 2004
Non-Normal Situation Guidelines
Land Evacuation
If Exit Not Usable:
• Block the exit to prevent passenger evacuation, while informing
passengers that the exit is blocked.
• If your exit is not usable you must perform the duties of managing the
evacuation by:
• First, establish passenger flow away from the unusable exit, and then
• Direct passenger flow to the usable exit(s)
• Assess usability of other exits
• Visually determine that passenger flow has been established through a
usable exit before redirecting passenger flow
• Direct passengers to the nearest usable exit by issuing appropriate
commands and using arms and hands to point passengers in direction
of exit
• When, in your best judgment, passenger flow is established away from
an unusable exit and toward a usable exit, proceed to an appropriate
location to best direct or redirect passengers to balance flow to a
usable exit
Minimizing evacuation time requires maximizing utilization of all
usable exits throughout an evacuation. Evacuation time will be
minimized when passenger flow to all usable exits ends at the same
time.
• Maintain awareness of evacuation progress in other cabin areas and at
other usable exits. Directing or redirecting passengers may be
necessary to help maintain equal flow to each exit
• If there are no passengers approaching your exit and/or a usable exit
across from you (passenger flow has ceased) take appropriate actions
to:
• Attract additional passengers to come toward the usable exit near
you; use strong, loud, positive commands. If necessary, and
conditions permit, move down the aisle toward the nearest exit to
gain the attention of an attendant to initiate the redirection of
passengers toward your exit
• Continue to monitor and protect your exit

Non-Normal Situation Guidelines
Land Evacuation
• In mixed class airplane interiors, passenger densities in the forward
zone of the cabin are lower than the middle and aft zones. Use of exit
by-pass to maintain flow at the forward doors becomes even more
important in these airplanes
• If you see that passenger flow has ceased at an adjacent exit, and
significant numbers of passengers remain in your exit area, redirect
passengers toward the adjacent exit to maintain balanced exit
utilization.
Note: It is not possible to cover all conceivable evacuation scenarios with one set
of procedures. It is extremely important for flight attendants to assess each
emergency situation and exercise their best judgment in how to evacuate
the passengers safely in minimum time.

Non-Normal Situation Guidelines
Land Evacuation
Flight Attendants Not Assigned To An Exit:
The general responsibility of flight attendants not assigned to an exit is to assist in
the evacuation after assessing conditions. Balancing passenger flow to usable
exits by moving around the cabin, if conditions permit, and redirecting passengers
is a subset of the flight attendants responsibilities.
• In mixed class airplane interiors, passenger densities in the forward zone
of the cabin are lower than the mid and aft zones. This could result in the
forward exit being under-utilized.
• Evacuation time will be minimized when passenger flow to all usable
exits ends at the same time.
• Flight attendants seated in the forward half of the airplane should
balance passenger egress between the most viable exits in the forward
half of the airplane by encouraging and assisting passengers to exit out
of any under-utilized exit. This would include assisting in redirecting
passengers, if required, to an under-utilized exit.
• Flight attendants seated in the rear half of the airplane should balance
passenger egress between the viable exits in the rear half of the
airplane by encouraging and assisting passengers to exit out of the
most rearward exits. This would include assisting in redirecting
passengers, if required, to an under-utilized exit.
• A flight attendant situated in the forward half of the airplane, not
having primary exit responsibilities during an evacuation, should use
every means possible to redirect passengers to under-utilized exits, as
conditions permit.
• It is important that the flow of passengers from the forward cabin zone not
slow the evacuation out of a mid cabin exit, when a more forward exit is
available. A flight attendant situated in the forward half of the airplane,
not having primary exit responsibilities during an evacuation, should use
every means possible to redirect passengers to under-utilized exits, as
conditions permit.
Note: Flight attendants may be faced with unique evacuation scenarios. In such
cases flight attendants must assess the overall situation to decide the best
course of action to ensure a safe and rapid evacuation of passengers and
crew.

Non-Normal Situation Guidelines Chapter 9
Ditching Section 20
General
This section provides flight attendants with some general guidelines for the safe
evacuation of passengers and crew in the event of a water landing.
Ditching is an emergency landing on water. Analysis has shown that, in the event
of a water landing, the 767 should float at a depth and attitude favorable to safe
evacuation of passengers and crew. It is assumed the engines and trailing edge
flaps will be lost on impact with the water. However, providing the airplane
fuselage and wings remain intact, all exits should be above the waterline.
The possibility of a ditching is remote, but as long as the possibility exists,
complete knowledge of procedures and equipment is necessary. Ditching
preparations are necessary to secure all loose objects and have all passengers and
crew safely belted into seats prior to the water landing. With few exceptions,
ditching procedures are similar to those used in land evacuation. Communication
with the flight deck is required to ensure that the cabin is prepared in a timely
manner.
The passenger briefing should be amended to suit the situation. Passengers are
instructed to put on life vests and follow inflation instructions. Life vests are
stored under each passenger seat and spare vests are located at the flight attendant
stations and at various other locations throughout the passenger cabin.
The primary route of egress during ditching will be the passenger service/entry
door(s). The slide/rafts at these doors should be used as flotation/survival devices.
The slide/rafts will each accommodate a normal capacity load of 58 persons.
However, these slide/rafts are certified for a maximum overload capacity of 78
persons.
The slides are certified as flotation devices but are not an approved survival raft.
Life rafts may be stowed in lowered ceiling compartments located near the
forward and overwing exits (see emergency equipment diagram). Optional life
raft stowage is located in the stow bins near the overwing exits. Each life raft is
capable of handling 46 passengers in normal operation and 69 passengers in
overload operation.
The emergency exits will be used only if necessary for airplane egress.

Ditching
Ditching Guidelines
During a ditching operation your primary functions are:
• prepare for water landing
• time permitting use the PA to brief passengers:
• don life vests
• order the removal of high heels and other restrictive articles.
• assign helpers
• establish dividing lines
• establish brace positions, maintain brace position until airplane comes
to a stop.
• initiate the evacuation
• direct passengers away from unusable exits. If only the upper or lower
compartment of the slide/raft inflates, the slide/rafts are still usable to full
overload capacity.
If life rafts are onboard:
• take life raft pack to an entry/service door or emergency exit, seek
passenger assistance.
• clear area immediately outside of door/exit (fill and.or detach slide/raft to
make room for raft).
• attach lanyard to a seat or the door.
• place life raft pack outside door, pull inflation ring to inflate the raft.
• use lanyard to hold raft near airplane until loading is complete.
Initiate Evacuation
• ensure the airplane has stopped and the engines are shutdown
• move to assigned stations
• assess safety of inside and outside conditions
• open the door
• shout evacuation and slide loading commands
• direct passengers away from unusable exits. If only the upper or lower
compartment inflates, the slide/rafts are still usable to full overload
capacity.
Use Of Forward Doors - Immediate Action Checklist
• Retrieve emergency locator transmitter(s) from airplane and carry aboard
raft
• Direct first passengers to move to center seating areas as they enter raft.
• Seat all passengers on the floor of raft with backs to buoyancy tubes
• After first 10 passengers are seated, begin filling outer chambers,
alternating sides
• Ensure that airplane is fully evacuated.

Non-Normal Situation Guidelines
Ditching
• Release raft from airplane and disconnect mooring line.
• Guide people in water to boarding stations. Use heaving line to reach any
people who may be floundering in water.
• If possible, move raft from fuel saturated waters but stay in vicinity of
airplane.
• Retrieve survival kit.
• Tie radio beacon to raft and deploy beacon.
• Attend to injuries.
• Check condition of raft for proper inflation, leaks, or chafing. Repair, bail,
or dry, as necessary.
• Connect rafts using sea anchor line.
• Deploy sea anchor from single or trailing raft.
Use Of Emergency Exit Doors
Note: Emergency exit doors should not be used in a ditching situation unless
absolutely necessary for airplane egress. The associated slides are not
designed for use as rafts. It the emergency exit doors must be used:
• Check outside conditions and determine if it is safe to open exit
• If conditions permit, open the exit
• Retrieve life raft pack from stowage location
• Secure mooring line to a suitable anchor point
• Maneuver life raft pack through exit

Non-Normal Situation Guidelines
Ditching
Post Ditching Guidelines
Direct attention to the care of the passengers, operation and use of the raft and its
accessory equipment, and to preparations for assisting rescue:
Care of Passengers
• Seating - Distribute passengers uniformly in the raft. Seat people with
their backs to the buoyancy tubes, so that each person is facing the
opposite direction of the one next to him/her (this seating arrangement
will allow the greatest number of people to be seated in the raft).
• Direct passengers to keep their life jackets on.
• Passengers must remain low in raft. The raft is stable, but heavy seas will
tend to move the passengers about, passengers should:
• Stay low
• Remain seated on floor
• When required to move, do so on hands and knees
• First Aid - Open survival kit and administer first aid as necessary.
Distribute motion sickness remedy.
• Reassure passengers - Rescue operations were begun promptly when the
pilot reported intentions to ditch the aircraft. Assure passengers that
assistance will arrive shortly.
Care of the Raft
• Buoyancy Tubes - Check buoyancy tubes for damage and proper
inflation. Properly inflated tubes are firm but not drum tight.
• If punctures are found repair with kit and instructions provided in the
survival kit
• If more air pressure is needed, use small bellows hand pump as follows:
• Remove hand pump from storage location
• Screw pump clockwise into proper topping-off valve until valve
comes to rest against the stop.
CAUTION: DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN
• Operate the pump by working the bellows up and down until desired
amount of air has been added.
• Close topping-off valve by turning pump counterclockwise until valve
closes and pump is disengaged.

Non-Normal Situation Guidelines
Ditching
The two buoyancy tubes of the raft are completely separate. Either will support
the raft, though with reduced freeboard. If either tube is damaged beyond repair,
keep the other fully inflated.
• Raft Floor - Keep the raft floor as dry as possible. Bail out water and wipe
dry with fabric bailing bucket and sponges from survival kit.
• Sea Anchor - Deploy sea anchor from a single or trailing raft. To deploy
sea anchor, firmly pull sea anchor deployment lanyard until sea anchor
can be seen beginning to drift behind raft. A properly deployed sea anchor
will reduce raft drift, making it easier for rescuers to find the raft. The sea
anchor will improve raft stability by keeping the raft headed into the wind
and waves.
• Canopy - Erect the canopy to protect survivors from sunburn and
dehydration in warm weather, or to keep the raft dry and provide a source
of water during rainy conditions.
CAUTION: DO NOT STAND UP TO INSTALL CANOPY
• Withdraw folded canopy fabric from sponsons and unfold canopy
halves.
• Place canopy halves over upright tubes and fasten inner and outer
closure caps.
• Work from one end of the raft to the opposite end and fasten clasps to
join the full length of the canopy.
• Secure canopy ties at the head end, around raft edges, and at the foot
end to complete canopy closing.
• Inflate the canopy center support tubes by blowing into inflation tube
and use center support tubes to prop up the center of the canopy.
• Flow-through ventilation is provided by unzipping the two canopy
openings along each side of the raft.
• Water - The two pints of water in the survival kit are provided primarily
for medicinal purposes and should be reserved for this use. During rainy
conditions, rain water will collect on the canopy; heavy dew will also
collect on the canopy. Drain water into bailing bucket, plastic bags or
anything which will hold water.
• Righting a Capsized Raft - It is impossible to right a capsized 767
slide/raft. The raft will operate normally in the capsized (inverted)
position and full seating capacity is available; however, the canopy will
not be usable.
• Location and use of Additional Accessory Equipment
• Accessory Items - The 767 escape slide/raft carries several key items
of accessory equipment in addition to the heaving ring, survival kit,
handpump, sea anchor and canopy.

Non-Normal Situation Guidelines
Ditching
• Locator lights are located fore and aft on the raft to assist rescue
craft, survivors in the water, or other rafts in locating the raft
during hours of darkness. These lights automatically illuminate
when the raft goes into the water and are powered by a
water-activated battery of sufficient capacity to provide continuous
illumination until rescue is achieved.
• Lifelines reach the full length of the raft along each side, just
above the normal water line. They provide a means for flotation
for survivors in the water until they can be assisted aboard the raft.
• The survival kit includes provisions for first aid, well-being of
survivors, raft bailing, and a variety of signaling devices for rescue
assistance. Items should be withdrawn from the survival kit only
as needed. The kit should be securely stowed and kept dry at all
other times.
• The raft may be boarded on either side using boarding straps
provided.
Rescue Assistance
• Locating the Raft - The primary method for locating a ditched 767 and its
rafts is by means of a position report issued by the pilot prior to ditching,
and the emergency locator transmitter after ditching. The transmitter(s) is
stowed onboard the airplane and must be carried aboard the raft and
manually deployed.
• Other Locating Aids - Additional means for assisting rescuers are the
signal mirror, chemical light sticks (especially when used with an
improvised reflector), day/night smoke flares, sea dye marker, and a
whistle. All of these items are contained in the survival kit. See the
survival manual for detailed instructions on the use of each signaling
device.
CAUTION: DAY/NIGHT FLARES MUST NOT BE ACTIVATED
INSIDE THE RAFT. THE FLARES MUST BE HELD
OUT OVER THE WATER TO PREVENT DRIPPINGS
FROM THE FLARES FROM BURNING HOLES IN THE
RAFT.
Under favorable daylight conditions, the raft canopy is visible for several
miles.
• Rescue - The actual rescue will be one of the most demanding periods for
the passengers. Passengers must keep their life jackets on, maintain their
position on the raft, and await instructions from rescue personnel.
Calm direction by the flight crew will contribute greatly to the success of
the rescue mission.

Life Rafts
Additional flotation may be provided by life rafts usually stowed near the
passenger service/entry doors (see emergency equipment diagram). The slide/raft
(at the launching door) should first be loaded and disconnected to allow room for
the raft launch and inflation.
• Remove raft from stowage (assistance will be required as raft is heavy
and quite awkward to handle).
• Attach lanyard to structure near door and push raft overboard (hold
inflation handle but do no pull until raft is clear of doorway).
• Disconnect/sever lanyard when passengers are aboard (survival kit
contains additional instructions/procedures).

Non-Normal Situation Guidelines Chapter 9
Cabin Fire Fighting & Smoke Removal Section 30
General
This chapter provides some general guidelines for fire prevention and cabin fire
fighting.
Fire Prevention
The flight attendants practice fire prevention by watching for unsafe passenger
actions, and the immediate elimination of potential fire hazards. In particular,
attention should be directed to the lavatories. Make frequent checks of the
lavatories to assure that no smoke is present and good housekeeping exists. Check
trash containers for partly open flapper doors due to overfull or jammed
conditions. These trash containers should also be inspected for discarded objects
which could be hazardous, such as cologne bottles or spray cans. Put these objects
into the galley trash container.
Accumulated waste paper and other flammable trash sometimes exceeds the
capacity of passenger cabin storage units. Since this affects fire safety, place this
in the galley trash container or other suitable container. Another area susceptible
to fires is the passenger cabin lower sidewall. Flammable items over return air
grills have ignited unobserved because the return air flow carried smoke and
fumes away from the passengers. Maintain surveillance of floor areas, particularly
in the smoking zones, to keep clothing, bags, papers, and so on, from being
deposited where they may be a fire hazard.
General Cabin Fire Fighting
CAUTION: Put on heat resistant protective clothing. For protection from
smoke inhalation, put on a smoke hood with oxygen or a
portable oxygen bottle with smoke mask attached.
Immediately attack the fire with the nearest appropriate type fire extinguisher.
Direct the extinguishing agent at the base of the flames at the near edge and bottom
of the fire first, and then progress forward and upward. Move the discharge nozzle
slowly with a side-to-side sweeping motion.
Immediately notify the flight deck. Request help from crew members. Continuous
communication provides information essential for making safety-of-flight
decisions.
Remove electrical power from the affected area.

Non-Normal Situation Guidelines
Cabin Fire Fighting & Smoke
Removal
Bring additional fire fighting equipment to the fire scene as necessary:
• portable oxygen bottle with smoke mask attached and/or smoke hood
with oxygen
• crash axe
• water fire extinguisher
• halon fire extinguisher
• flashlight.
• heat resistant gloves
Use the crash axe to obtain access, if necessary. Rapid access to the fire may
require the destruction of cabin wall panels. The crash axe may also be required
to obtain access of a suspected electrical fire behind a wall.
If the fire is not immediately extinguished, remove all portable oxygen cylinders
from the vicinity of the fire.
Advise the passengers to stay seated or move them as required.
If the fire produces excessive smoke and fumes inside the cabin:
• request smoke evacuation procedures from the flight deck
• continuously observe passengers for signs of panic and take additional
action if needed
• relocate passengers away from the area of severe smoke and fumes
• administer 100% oxygen using portable oxygen bottles to any passengers
experiencing respiratory difficulties
• instruct passengers to breathe through wet handkerchiefs or other
appropriate materials.
Note: Do not deploy passenger oxygen masks. The oxygen system is for use only
during a cabin pressure loss. Most oxygen mask air is cabin air drawn
through the mask inhalation valve; smoke in the cabin would be inhaled.
Therefore, passenger oxygen masks are not useful as smoke masks.
When the fire is extinguished, a water fire extinguisher or other cooling liquid
should be used to quench any smoldering embers and prevent re-ignition:
• the stream from a water fire extinguisher is relatively narrow and should
be carefully directed into each burning portion. A finger or thumb placed
on the nozzle creates a wider spray pattern.
• all burned material should be thoroughly soaked with water and may need
to be broken apart to completely extinguish the fire.
• to conserve the hand held fire extinguisher, water, coffee, carbonated
beverages, and so on, can be poured onto the embers. Smoldering material
may be soaked in a lavatory/galley sink or in a pot of coffee.
Inspect adjacent areas to ensure the fire has not spread.

Cabin Fire Fighting & Smoke
Removal
Specific Cabin Fire Fighting
Fires in the lavatories, closets, or galleys may present special difficulties.
Lavatory Fire
Feel the lavatory door.
If the door is hot:
• keep the door closed
• use a crash axe to chop a small hole in the upper part of the door just big
enough to receive a fire extinguisher nozzle
• discharge the fire extinguishing agent, preferably Halon, into the hole
• discharge the extinguisher completely
• if needed, discharge the remaining extinguishers into the same hole to
build up and maintain a high concentration of extinguishing agent.
If the door is cool:
• carefully open the door and locate the fire
• discharge the hand held fire extinguisher onto the fire
• thoroughly douse the affected area with water
• if trapped towels or cups are burning in the waste chute or the waste
container, discharge the extinguishing agent directly into the chute.
Supplies stored in dispensers are normally tightly packed and less likely to catch
fire than loose paper items; however, these stored items can contribute to an
existing fire.
Coat Closet Fire
Closets with Curtains
• locate the source of the fire and apply extinguishing agent
• remove the coats and other contents that are not burning to gain access to
a fire in a remote area of the closet
• check that flames have been extinguished and thoroughly douse the
burned materials with water
• monitor the closet to ensure the fire remains out.
Closets with Doors
Feel the closet walls and door for hot spots.
If the walls or door are hot:
• keep the door closed
• use a crash axe to chop a small hole in the upper part of the door just big
enough to receive a fire extinguisher nozzle
• discharge fire extinguishing agent, preferably halon, into the hole
• discharge the extinguisher completely

• if needed, discharge remaining extinguishers into the same hole to build
up and maintain a high concentration of extinguishing agent.
If the walls and door are cool:
• carefully open the door and locate the fire
• discharge the hand held fire extinguisher onto the fire
• remove coats and other contents that are not burning to gain access to a
fire in a remote area of the closet
• check if flames have been extinguished and thoroughly douse the burned
materials with water
• monitor the closet to ensure the fire remains out.
Galley Fire
Remove electrical power from the galley by pulling the master circuit breaker on
the breaker panel.
If the galley master circuit breaker cannot be pulled, request the Captain remove
galley electrical power from the flight deck.
Inform the flight deck.
Check oven door for heat, and open with caution.
Extinguish the fire using the appropriate hand held fire extinguisher.
Smoke Removal
Notify the flight deck that the origin of the smoke is in the forward or aft passenger
cabin.
