Oxygen Systems
[Typical]
Two independent oxygen systems are provided, one for the flight crew and one for
the passengers. Portable oxygen cylinders are located in the flight deck and
passenger cabin for emergency use.
Passenger and Flight Attendant Oxygen
The passenger oxygen system is supplied by bottled gaseous oxygen. The oxygen
bottles provide oxygen to the passenger, attendant stations, and lavatory service
units. The passenger oxygen masks are located above the passenger seats in the
passenger service units (PSUs). Each mask oxygen valve is held closed by a pin
inserted into the valve. Pulling on the mask withdraws the pin, causing the mask
oxygen valve to open and oxygen to flow to that 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.
Note: 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.
Decompression
If cabin altitude exceeds approximately 10,000 feet, the following automatic
events take place:
• cabin lights come on full bright
• one LO chime sounds through out the cabin
• NO SMOKING/FASTEN SEAT BELT signs illuminate and
corresponding chimes sound.
These events warn the flight attendants that a possible decompression is about to
occur. Flight attendants must sit down, fasten their seat belts, and prepare to put
oxygen masks on.
[Option: Passenger only, overhead door 5 crew rest installed]
Note: Flight attendant guidelines for decompression while occupying the door 5
crew rest area are contained in Chapter 11.20, Crew Rest, Non-Normal
Situation Guidelines.

Protective Breathing Equipment (Smoke Hoods)
Protective breathing equipment (PBE) is installed in the passenger cabin. The
PBE provides an oxygen supply and smoke protection, and are to be used when
fighting a fire. The smoke hood is placed over the head and, when activated by a
starter lanyard, provides approximately 15 minutes of oxygen. Detailed operating
instructions are placarded on the container.
WARNING: Human hair is highly flammable. Hair that protrudes through
the neck seal of the PBE could ignite if brought into direct
contact with a flame.
CAUTION: This device produces oxygen which vigorously accelerates
combustion. Do not expose the device to direct flame or remove
in the immediate vicinity of fire or flame. Due to oxygen
saturation of the hair, do not smoke or become exposed to fire
or flame immediately after removing.

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 halon 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.

Cabin Fire Fighting & Smoke Removal Overview
This section provides 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 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 exceed the
capacity of passenger cabin storage units. Since this affects fire safety, place this
trash in the galley trash container or other suitable container. Another area
susceptible to fire 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.

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.
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.

D6-30151-TBC (pax) 9.10.3
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.
WARNING: Do not deploy passenger oxygen masks.
Note: 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.
WARNING: Do not use passenger oxygen masks 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 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.

9.20 Non-Normal Situation Guidelines-Land Evacuation
Land Evacuation Overview
This section provides flight attendants with recommended guidelines for
emergency land evacuation.
The flight attendant’s 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 and flight attendants must be aware of outside conditions
which may affect an orderly evacuation. The flight crew will notify the flight
attendants of any additional conditions which might impact passenger evacuation.
If the exit will not open, or a hazard exists, making the exit unsafe for use, take a
position to prevent passengers from exiting. Forcefully inform the passengers that
the exit will not be used and why. For example, “DOOR JAMMED” or “NO
SLIDE”. Hold passengers in the immediate area until the nearest usable exit can
be determined. Once determined, redirect the passengers to that usable exit.
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”
Note: Redirection means sending passengers past a usable/unusable exit toward
a usable exit in order to maintain balanced flow to all usable exits. This will
minimize the total evacuation time
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.
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.

Passenger Entry Doors and Upper Deck Doors
After slide deployment, verify the slide is safe for use. Position yourself in the
dedicated assist space forward or aft of the exit. Do not block the exit. Make
physical and/or verbal contact as soon as possible with the passengers
approaching the exit.
The slides are dual lane. During an emergency it is very important to establish dual
lane flow to ensure a timely evacuation. Use the command: “FORM TWO
LINES”.
Strong, loud, positive commands, such as:
• “FORM TWO LINES”
• “GO”
• “JUMP”
• “MOVE”.
must be used.
Overwing Emergency Exits
At the overwing exits, verify the “barber pole” is visible. Position yourself in the
aft facing assist space. Do not block the exit. Make physical and/or verbal contact
as soon as possible with the passengers approaching the exit.
Command the first passengers out of the overwing exit to:
• “FORM TWO LINES”
Continue to command the passengers at the overwing exits to “FORM TWO
LINES” until flow has been established.
Once flow to the slide is established, continue to use positive commands, such as:
• “GO”
• “MOVE”.

Emergency Evacuation Guidelines
Note: In the following guidelines, “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.
Maintain brace position until the airplane comes to a complete stop.
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 |
