• Axe
• Escape ropes
• Evacuation slides
• First aid kit
• Megaphones
• Smoke goggles
• Smoke hoods
• Torches
• Portable oxygen bottles
• Portable fire extinguishers

Life jackets

Life jackets for the flight crew and passengers are stowed in pouches under the front edge of each seat. Cabin attendant’s life jackets, are
stowed behind hinged panels under their seats.

As standard option at customers request, floatation cushions can be provided instead of life jackets for passengers.

Torches and goggles

Two torches and goggle sets are stowed on the flight deck, one set in each side console, in a compartment under the oxygen mask stowage.

If a third crew seat (jump seat), is fitted an extra torch is contained in a pouch on the back of the left-hand pilot’s seat, or adjacent to the
flight deck portable fire extinguisher.

NOTE: The flashing LED on the torch indicates that the batteries are still serviceable and aid in locating the torch if there is no other
lighting available. The batteries are not re-charged, nor lifed. They are replaced when the LED stops flashing.

Portable oxygen bottles

Portable bottles are stowed adjacent to the cabin staff position at the front and rear of the cabin. These can be in the overhead lockers or in a
“dog box” behind the rearmost seats in the cabin.

Smoke mask

A Smoke hood, for Flight Crew use, is kept in a compartment under the right hand ‘C’ window.

Crash axe

The crash axe is normally stowed at floor level, head downwards, on a bulkhead, behind the first Officers position, on the right of the flight
deck.

Escape Ropes

Two 1/2-inch diameter nylon escape ropes are stowed in the flight compartment, one above each ‘C’ window. Each rope is 13 ft. 6 ins. long
and is anchored to the Airframe by a snap hook. They are knotted every 19 inches to provide hand holds.

Access to each rope is via a small pull off trim panel labelled “ESCAPE ROPE - PULL”.

Portable Fire Extinguishers

One extinguisher is mounted on the flight deck to the rear of the Captains seat. The extinguisher contains a 1 1/2 lb charge of BCF
(HALON) pressurised to 125 psi with nitrogen. The extinguishers are trigger operated after removal of a safety catch.

The first operation of the trigger fractures a diaphragm on the bottle and a red indicator disc on the operation head. When the trigger is
released a secondary diaphragm closes to retain the remaining extinguishant thus providing a continuous or intermittent operation. Once the
extinguisher has been used the bottle must be replaced. On some aircraft, a gauge is fitted to the extinguisher instead of an indicator disc
and a pin instead of the safety catch.

Evacuation Slide

The slide arm/disarm mechanism consists of an ARM/DISARM lever assembly connected by shafts, rods and levers to two girt bar bolts
mounted one at each end of a girt bar.
In the ARMED condition, the bolts are supported in floor mounted brackets at the foot of the door inner face. The arm/disarm mechanism
is interconnected with the door external handle.

The slide pack consists of a single lane inflatable slide assembly, a gas cylinder and valve assembly, a lighting assembly, and an aluminium
structural packboard assembly with a decorative hard cover.

The inflated slide assembly has sliding surface material covering longitudinal support tubes joining top and bottom lateral tubes, which
contact the aircraft and ground respectively. A surface coating helps to dissipate static electricity.

The lighting system consists of a light actuating lanyard, an electrical lamp harness and halogen lamps contained in a transparent sleeve
cemented along the support tubes, and an alkaline battery power unit located in a pouch on the underside of the sliding surface.
The power unit can be checked without disturbing the packed inflatable slide, an adaptor is provided on the right-hand side of the pack to
provide a testing facility.

The inflation components are 2.1litre (125 cu. in.) capacity cylinder/valve unit, in a sling mounting below the slide, an aspirator assembly
and connecting hose. The valve assembly regulates gas output, from 300 psi when the cylinder is at 3000 psi to 460 psi as cylinder pressure
falls.
The valve assembly has a pressure gauge, a rupture disc overpressure protector, and a filler valve. The slide inflation cylinder pressure
gauge can be read through a window in the slide cover.

An aspirator assembly, mixing gas and ambient air, comprises a nozzle inlet for the gas, a conical ambient air inlet, and a flapper valve
which retains the gas when the slide has been inflated.

The pack board assembly, which contains the packed slide system, consists of the aluminium pack board, flap assembly, lacing cover and
cover release. Packboard brackets mount the system on the aircraft door. A decorative hardcover assembly is fastened to the top of the
packboard by two snap latches and at the bottom by spring clips.
The assembly hinges on the snap latches during deployment.

Operation

With the door closed and the locking lever disengaged, the ARM/DISARM lever is moved to ARM, causing the girt bar bolts to engage the
floor brackets thus securing the slide to the fuselage.

When the door is opened from inside the aircraft, the door tracks upward and outward. Tension is applied to the girt assembly, and the
cover release cable attached to the girt bar activates the cover release, the packboard assembly opens and the slide falls downward
simultaneously forcing the cover open.

At this time cable tension opens the cylinder valve and gas is supplied to the aspirator through the hose assembly. A pull handle on the girt
extension, permits manual inflation should the automatic system fail. Should it still fail to inflate, NO-FAIL handles enable the slide to be
pulled taut by the ground crew.

The gas flow through the aspirator mixes with ambient air through the flapper valve to induce rapid inflation. At a predetermined slide
pressure, the flapper valves close and gas alone tops up the slide to final pressure. Relief valves in the slide prevent over pressurisation.

An intermediate restraint maintains the slide partially folded to one half its extended length, until the pressure is sufficient to separate the
restraint, when the slide is projected outward and down to the ground.

On full deployment, the light actuating lanyard pulls a pin from the power unit and lights lamps along each side of slide runway support
tubes.

After evacuation, withdrawal of a quick-release pin from beneath the girt flap enables the inflated slide to be separated from the aircraft.

When a door is opened from OUTSIDE the aircraft, the exterior handle moves the ARM/DISARM lever to DISARM which causes the girt
bar bolts to disengage from the floor brackets thus allowing the door to open without deploying the slide.

The walls and roof of the flight deck and cabin are sound proofed and insulated with “MICROLITE AA”, a form of glass fibre. The
insulation is contained in bags made of “Orcon”, an aluminised material with tear stopper threads running through it. The wall bags are
retained by tucking the edges behind various parts of the fuselage structure and those in the roof by sprung wire retainers running
longitudinally between the frames.

The cabin walls and roof are lined with laminated fibre glass quick release panels, the wall panels being single window width. Overhead
luggage bins are mounted by attachments to the fuselage frames. Apart from a screwdriver, no tools are required to remove the trim.

The passenger seats each side of the centre aisle are built as one unit. Each unit is mounted on two standard track rails which permit seat
pitch variations in one inch increments. The overhead passenger service units can also be adjusted to cater for the seat pitches.

Passenger Service Units (PSUs)

Passenger service units (PSUs) are installed directly below the overhead stowage bins along each side of the cabin. They are arranged
consecutively with loudspeaker/in fill panels so that each PSU is aligned with a passenger seat unit. Each PSU houses:

• a cabin attendant CALL push button

• a fresh air outlet, double or triple depending on seating
• reading light assemblies with associated push button switches

Each PSU panel has quick-release catches which latch on to the outboard support rail to facilitate removal/installation. PSUs can be
positioned to suit any seating configuration.

Loudspeaker panels/drop-out oxygen masks

Loudspeaker panels, with a stowage box each containing three or four drop-out oxygen masks are arranged consecutively with PSUs
directly below the overhead stowage bins, and aligned with each passenger seat unit. Each oxygen mask stowage box is connected to the
oxygen ring main by a quick-release coupling to facilitate removal/installation of the panel.

The loud speakers are used for PA broadcast from a flight crew member or a cabin attendant.

The panels are locked by stops engaging in out-cuts in the support rail, and are retained in position by hook and loop self-attaching tape to
the adjacent PSU panels.
