Be careful when inserting changes not to throw away pages from the manual that
are not replaced. Using the List of Effective Pages (0.3) can help determine the
correct content of the manual.
Revision Highlights
This section (0.2) replaces the existing section 0.2 in your manual.
Throughout the manual, airplane effectivity may be updated to reflect coverage as
listed on the Preface - Model Identification page, or to show service bulletin

This manual is published from a database; the text and illustrations are marked
with configuration information. Occasionally, because the editors rearrange the

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 the electrical power and bleed air necessary to operate the airplane
systems if external ground services are not available. In flight, the APU is capable
of serving as a back-up for the engine bleed air system up to 17,000 feet.
Electrical Power
The electrical power system supplies 115 volt AC and 28 volt dc electrical power
to the airplane. On the ground, power can also be provided by the APU or by
external power carts. If the electrical system loses one or more generators,
electrical power on the galleys is removed automatically.

Passenger Address System
The passenger address (PA) system is used for making flight deck, attendant, and
prerecorded announcements to the passenger cabin. Entertainment audio and
boarding music can also be sent through the PA system. Flight attendants can
make PA announcements using the cabin interphone handsets.
Passenger Address Announcements
Prerecorded announcements and boarding music sent through the PA system are
controlled by the prerecorded announcement/boarding music system.
Passenger address announcements are prioritized in the following order:
• flight deck
• flight attendants
• prerecorded announcements
• boarding music.
A higher priority announcement overrides a lower priority announcement.
Making PA Announcements
To make a Passenger Address Announcement:
• remove handset from the cradle
• enter the number 8 on the handset
• push the PTT switch
• make the announcement.
If an announcement is already in progress and has a higher priority, the lower
priority systems will be paused (prerecorded announcements, boarding music, and
entertainment audio/video) or overridden.

Lavatory Water System
The potable water system is supplied from one tank located beneath the cabin
floor. Potable water is supplied to the lavatory sinks and the toilet flush system.
The tanks are normally pressurized with air from an electrically driven air
compressor. When the electrically driven air compressor is not available, alternate
pressurization is automatically provided from the airplane bleed air system.
Hot and cold water is available in the lavatories. The water heater is located below
the lavatory sink and has three selectable temperatures:
• low (approximately 105 degrees F)
• medium (approximately 115 degrees F)
• high (approximately 125 degrees F).
An amber indicator light located near the top of the heater is illuminated when the
power switch is on and the heater is operating normally. An ON/OFF switch is
located next to the amber light.
The amount of water remaining in the tanks can be verified on the attendant panel
at the aft attendant station.
Water is not available while the tanks are being serviced.

Water Supply Selector Valve
Each lavatory has a WATER SUPPLY selector VALVE. The WATER SUPPLY
selector VALVE has four positions, and is located in the cabinet below the sink.
The four positions are:
• SUPPLY ON – Normal operating position. When the water system is
depressurized, all lavatories except “A” will drain. In this lavatory, the
drain valve must be opened to drain the lavatory
• FAUCET ONLY – In this position, water is supplied to the faucet, but not
to the toilet
• TOILET ONLY – In this position, water is supplied to the toilet, but not to
the faucet
• OFF – No water is supplied to the lavatory.
Note: In the OPEN position, the drain valve allows the water to drain from all the
forward lavatory and galley supply lines. In the CLOSE position, the water
from the supply lines flows to the lavatory and galley components and does
not flow overboard.

5.10.8 D6-27370-6/7/8/900-FAM-TBC
Lavatory Waste System
Waste water from the lavatory sinks is drained overboard through heated drain
masts. Toilet waste is flushed into a holding tank located in the bulk cargo area.
Below 16,000 feet, the waste system uses a vacuum to collect the waste material
and deposit it in the tanks. Above 16,000 feet, the pressure difference between the
cabin and outside pressure moves the waste from the toilets to the tanks.
Pushing the flush button on the toilet activates the flush cycle. A flush cycle uses
water from the potable water system, and lasts approximately seven seconds.
Once the flush button is pushed, there is an automatic 15-second delay for a
system reset before the next flush cycle can be initiated. This conserves water by
preventing consecutive flushes if the flush button is repeatedly pushed.
There are two sensors attached to the upper part of the waste tank. Both sensors
must signal that the waste tank is full before the flush capability is deactivated. If
a sensor fails, it signals that the tank is full. There is also a sensor in each waste
tank drain line. It provides data to the WASTE SYSTEM indicator on the aft
attendant panel on the amount of waste in the waste tank.
Waste tank quantity status can be verified on the attendant panel at the aft
attendant station. In the event the waste tank becomes full, the LAVS INOP light
will illuminate and all lavatory toilets will be inoperative. The CLEAN CHECK
SENSOR light will illuminate if a sensor fails or is fouled, indicating system
maintenance is required. The waste system is still operational when the CLEAN
CHECK SENSOR light is illuminated.

Lavatory Fire Extinguishing System
An automatic fire extinguishing system is located beneath the sink in each
lavatory. A fire extinguisher discharges a halon vapor through either one or both
heat-activated nozzles. Both nozzles discharge toward the waste disposal
container. A temperature indicator is located inside the waste compartment below
each sink. Grey dots on the indicator turn black when exposed to high
temperatures. If any dot has turned black, the extinguisher may have discharged.

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.
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
manual shutoff handle located at the base of the toilet out. This closes the flush
valve and stops the noise. Placard the lavatory as inoperative.

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. 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 Power
Power for the galleys is available only if the galley power switch in the flight deck
is ON. In flight, with the loss of one or more generators, galley electrical power is
automatically shut off.
Galley Water System
Galley water is supplied from one water tank. The tank is 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 tank is being serviced.
Each galley that has potable water is equipped with a WATER SHUT-OFF
VALVE. Positioning the WATER SHUT-OFF VALVE to OFF turns off water to
that galley.
Galley Waste System
Galley sink waste water is drained overboard through heated drain masts.
Do not dispose of solid waste materials (coffee grounds, tea bags, fruit pulp, and
so on) in the sink. Put solid waste material in the galley waste containers.

Galley Sink Drain Blockages
To prevent sink drain blockages, do not put solid waste in the sink drain. Do not
remove the sink drain strainer. Put solid waste in the waste containers. Mixtures
of milk and wine can curdle and create drain blockage. When disposing of milk
and wine, pour them separately into the sink, diluting each with an equal amount
of water to flush the system. If a sink drain is blocked, or drainage is slow, no more
fluids should be poured into the sink. Dispose of fluids in another galley sink.
Galley Water Fails to Shut Off
If the water cannot be turned off in any of the galley fixtures, such as the sink water
faucet, coffee maker, water boiler, and so on, the water system for that galley must
be shut off. Position the galley WATER SHUT-OFF VALVE to OFF.

7.10 Doors, Slides and Emergency Exits-
Overview
This chapter describes the entry doors, overwing emergency exits and evacuation
slides. It includes a description of door preflight, and normal and non-normal
operation from inside and outside the airplane.
Entry Doors
YX600, YX700
There are four identically operated entry doors. They are used to enter and exit the
airplane, and also serve as emergency exits. Normally, the left side doors are
intended for normal passenger entry and exit, the right side doors function as
galley and service doors. The doors can be opened or closed manually from inside
or outside the airplane. There are also two overwing emergency exits.
YX700, YX800
There are four identically operated entry doors. They are used to enter and exit the
airplane, and also serve as emergency exits. Normally, the left side doors are
intended for normal passenger entry and exit, the right side doors function as
galley and service doors. The doors can be opened or closed manually from inside
or outside the airplane. There are also four overwing emergency exits.
The entry doors are inward-outward opening plug-type doors. During opening, the
door first moves inward, and then is pushed outward and forward. The forward left
entry door is spring-assisted for easier opening. Each door is held in the open
position by a mechanical latch on the upper hinge. A window in each door allows
observation outside of the airplane. A single lane slide is contained in the lower
inboard face of each door.
Dedicated Assist Space
Near each entry door is a dedicated assist space. The dedicated assist space is
located between the attendant station and the door sill. During an emergency
evacuation it is important that the flight attendants grasp the assist handle and
place themselves in the dedicated assist space to ensure that they are not blocking
the exit in any way.

Overwing Emergency Exits
YX600, YX700
There are two Type III overwing emergency exits located in the passenger cabin
over the wings, one on each side of the fuselage. They are canopy-type exits and
are held in place by mechanical locks. The overwing emergency exits can be
opened from either the inside or the outside of the airplane using a spring loaded
handle located at the top of the door. For safety reasons, the exits are automatically
locked by a 28 Volt DC flight lock system. The flight lock system is designed to
ensure that the flight lock will automatically lock during takeoff, in-flight and
landing; and unlock on the ground to allow for opening of the exit in emergency
situations. Commands for the flight lock to lock and unlock are dependent upon
engine speed, thrust lever position, air/ground mode status, and the open/closed
status of the doors.

WARNING: Ensure the escape strap is securely fastened to the airplane.
Flight Deck Evacuation
The above illustrated method of departure would probably be the easiest for most
crewmembers. However, this technique is difficult and should be used only in
extreme emergency.
Evacuation Slides
Evacuation slides are installed in each entry door. The slide girt bar is normally
stowed in the stowage hooks located near the bottom of the door liner. Before taxi,
the girt bar is removed from the hooks and fastened to the brackets located on the
floor of the airplane. The girt bar should remain fastened to the brackets for the
duration of the flight and not be removed until the airplane has come to a complete
stop.

When the girt bar is in the floor brackets, and the door is opened, tension on the
girt bar causes the compartment latch to separate, allowing the compartment to
open and the slide to deploy. Inflation of the slide takes approximately five
seconds.
If the slide fails to inflate automatically, a manual inflation handle can be pulled
to inflate the slide. If the slide still fails to inflate, it is not usable. If an inflated
slide deflates, it may be used as an apron slide.
WARNING: Do not attempt to deploy the slide without inflation.
The escape slides are not certified as life rafts, but may be used in a ditching
situation as a flotation device. To release the slide from the airplane, lift flap and
pull handle.

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 passenger oxygen system is supplied by individual chemical oxygen
generators. Four passenger oxygen masks and one chemical oxygen generator is
located above the passenger seats in each passenger service unit (PSU). Oxygen
flows from a PSU generator when any mask hanging from that PSU is pulled. An
in-line flow indicator confirms that oxygen is flowing to each oxygen mask. The
masks automatically drop from the PSUs if cabin altitude exceeds approximately
14,000 feet. The passenger masks can be manually deployed from the flight deck.
Oxygen flows for approximately 12 minutes and cannot be shutoff.
If the masks fail to drop from a PSU, the cover of the oxygen compartment can be
opened manually by releasing the door latch. The latch can be opened by inserting
a hair pin or a thin rod into the hole of the compartment cover.
Each flight attendant station and the lavatories are equipped with 2 masks and a
generator and operate the same as the passenger oxygen system.
WARNING: Do not attempt to restow the masks.

Fire Extinguishers
Water and Halon fire extinguishers are located throughout the passenger cabin and
flight deck.
Fire Extinguisher Usage
Each class of fire calls for specialized action. Using the wrong extinguisher may
do more harm than good. For your own protection, you should know these basic
types, how to use them, and why.
WARNING: The concentrated agent, or the by-products created by the heat
of the fire, are toxic when inhaled.
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.

Water Fire Extinguishers
Water fire extinguishers contain a solution of water mixed with antifreeze. Water
fire extinguishers are to be used on fabric or paper fires only. They are not to be
used on electrical or grease fires.
To use the water fire extinguisher, remove it from stowage and rotate the handle
fully clockwise. Aim the nozzle at the base of the fire and press the trigger.
CAUTION: Antifreeze compound has been added to the water which
makes it unfit for drinking. Do not use on electrical or grease
type fires.
Water Fire Extinguisher Use
Preflight
Check that safety wire and seal on the handle are intact.
Normal Operation
To use the water fire extinguisher:
• turn handle clockwise as far as possible (charges bottle with CO2)
• hold bottle upright
• direct at base of flame
• press trigger to discharge
• sweep in a side-to-side motion

To recharge in flight:
• unscrew top (the CO2 charge bleeds off)
• refill with water
• replace top
• unscrew handle
• replace CO2 cylinder
• reinstall handle; the extinguisher is now ready to use
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.

9.10 Non-Normal Situation Guidelines-Cabin Fire Fighting & Smoke Removal Cabin Fire Fighting & Smoke Removal
Overview
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 airflow 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
WARNING: 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.

9.10.2 D6-27370-6/7/8/900-FAM-TBC
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.
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.

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 (for airplanes with closets)
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

• seal any space at the base of the closet door with blankets or heavy
clothing
• monitor the closet to ensure the fire remains out
• 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 placing the galley emergency power
OFF switch to the OFF position.
Inform the flight deck.
Check oven door for heat, and open with caution.
Extinguish the fire using the appropriate hand held fire extinguisher.
In Flight Entertainment (IFE) System Fire
Remove electrical power from the IFE system by turning the switch off or by
pulling the appropriate circuit breaker.
If the IFE system circuit breaker cannot be pulled, request the Captain remove IFE
system electrical power from the flight deck.
Inform the flight deck.
Extinguish the fire using the appropriate handheld fire extinguisher.
Smoke Removal
Notify the flight deck that the origin of the smoke is in the forward or aft passenger
cabin.

9.20 Non-Normal Situation Guidelines-Land Evacuation Land Evacuation
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.
WARNING: Do not attempt to open doors in flight in preparation for an
emergency evacuation.
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.”
The slides are single lane. During an emergency it is very important to establish
single lane flow to ensure a timely evacuation.
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:
At passenger entry/service doors:
• “GO”
• “JUMP”
• “MOVE.”
At overwing emergency exits:
• “STEP THROUGH”
• “GO”
• “MOVE.”

9.20.2 D6-27370-6/7/8/900-FAM-TBC
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.
Emergency Evacuation Guideline
Communicate with the flight deck.
If time permits, use the PA to:
• brief the passengers (exits, protective 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

D6-27370-6/7/8/900-FAM-TBC 9.20.3
• 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.
• command passengers to evacuate
• 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
• 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.
• exit the airplane following the last passenger, using the nearest exit.
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:
• 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

9.20.4 D6-27370-6/7/8/900-FAM-TBC
• 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
• 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.

Cabin Crew Not Assigned to an Exit:
The cabin crew’s responsibility when not assigned to an exit is to assess conditions
and then assist in evacuating passengers:.
• attempt to minimize evacuation time by ensuring passenger flow
through all usable exits
• redirect passengers to under-utilized exits which may change as the
evacuation progresses
• continue to evaluate the situation.
Note: Cabin crew may be faced with unique evacuation scenarios. In such cases
the cabin crew must assess the overall situation to decide the best course
of action to ensure a safe and rapid evacuation of passengers and crew.

9.30 Non-Normal Situation Guidelines-Ditching Ditching
Overview
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 737-600/-700/-800 and -900 should float at a depth and
attitude favorable to safe evacuation of passengers and crew. 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.
Ditching studies for the 737-600/-700/-800 and -900 indicate that with an aft
center of gravity and high gross weight, the aft doors will be just below the water
level. Opening the aft doors would seriously degrade the flotation characteristics
of the airplane and therefore, it is imperative that the aft doors NOT be opened
during a ditching. The remaining ditching exits, forward and overwing will
provide sufficient ditching capability.
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. Optional life raft stowage is located in the stow bins

Portable Electronic Devices
Portable electronic devices can cause interference with airplane flight control,
navigation and communication systems. Because of this interference, local
regulatory agencies may prohibit or limit the use of these devices on airplanes.
If the airline allows use of portable electronic devices, procedures must be
established to control their use. As a minimum, the airline should provide the
following:
• methods to inform passengers of when portable electronic devices may be
used. This may be accomplished through the departure briefing, passenger
information cards, captain’s announcement, or any other method deemed
appropriate by the airline
• procedures to stop the operation of the portable electronic devices
suspected of causing interference with the airplane systems
• cabin to flight deck coordination and pilot monitoring procedures
• procedures for determining acceptability of devices that are allowed to be
operated
• procedures for reporting instances of suspected and confirmed
interference by portable electronic devices to the local aviation regulatory
agency
• prohibit the operation of portable electronic devices during takeoff and
landing phases of flight
• prohibit the operation of portable electronic devices classified as
intentional radiators or transmitters, such as citizens’ band and amateur
radios, cellular telephones, and remote control devices.
The following is a partial list of approved and non approved electronic devices:
Approved Electronic Devices
• heart pacemakers
• hearing aids
• compact disk (CD) players
• portable voice recorders
• tape cassette players (self-contained)
• electric shavers
• calculators
• portable computers or typewriters (electronic or mechanical) that are
briefcase size and able to fit under the passenger seat or in the overhead
bins; a mouse cord may be attached to the computer.
