(IATA 2.3.2.2). See table Non-spillable battery Gel type battery
2.3A. Wet (sealed) battery
Lithium-ion battery
On OM-A: 9.1.2.4 the Spillable battery VUELING DOES NOT ACCEPT
following schema is THIS KIND OF WHEELCHAIRS
Wet battery
presented.
Wheelchairs with dry batteries, gel type or wet sealed batteries, must be
accompanied by a certificate that confirms them.
• Battery terminals must be insulated to prevent accidental short circuits, e.g.
by being enclosed within a battery container
• Battery must be securely attached to the wheelchair.
Transport of wheelchairs & other powered mobility aids
Accepting Wheelchairs/Mobility Aids with Lithium Batteries

The batteries must be of a type that meets the requirements of each test in the UN Manual
of Tests and Criteria, Part III, subsection 38.3.
The following must be verified:
• The battery terminals are protected from short-circuits, e.g. by being enclosed within a
battery container.
• The battery is securely attached to the wheelchair or mobility aid.
• Electrical circuits have been inhibited.
Mobility aids must be secured in the cargo hold, to avoid accidental movement and must be
carried in such a manner that allows for protection when carried in luggage, mail or other
cargo.
Accepting Wheelchairs/Mobility Aids with Lithium Batteries when a
battery-powered wheelchair or other similar mobility aid is specifically
designed to allow its battery(ies) to be removed by the user (e.g.
collapsible):
Handling of wheelchairs & other powered mobility aids
• Apply the “delivery at aircraft” procedure

• Verify the PAX & advise accordingly
• Ensure the wheelchair / mobility aid has a name label, DAA tag &
destination tag
• Inform the CPT about its location
• Stow & secure it to prevent unintentional operation
• Ensure it is protected from being damaged by the movement of
luggage, mail or cargo
• Ensure load control are aware of the carriage of electric mobility aids
Other limitations
Portable electronic devices containing batteries

In addition, lithium batteries are subject of the following conditions
1. Each installed or spare battery must not exceed:

• Lithium metal or lithium alloy batteries, no more than 2g
• Lithium ion batteries, no more than 100Wh
2. Meet the requirements of the UN Manual of Tests & Criteria, Part III,
subsection 38.3
3. 15 PEDs max each person
4. Devices such as power banks are permitted in carry-on luggage only.

procedures covers in the same way as the DGs.
• Check in advance if water may be • Cover the substance spilled on the
used carpet/floor.
Fire in flight
In case of a fire derived from an incident related to DGs:
• Follow the emergency instructions
• Land as soon as possible
• Use PBEs
• Determine the source of the fire
• Follow the emergency procedures
DO NOT USE WATER with:

• Flammable liquids.
• Liquid fuel.
• Wet Dangerous Goods.
• Oxidizing and corrosive materials.
• Eliminate the smoke in accordance with the emergency list.
Spillage or emanations
Follow the EMERGENCY instructions and:
1. Determine the source of the spillage and try to isolate it or
to absorb it.
2. If it is corrosive liquid, do not pick it up.
3. Do not breath any emanated vapours (use a portable O2
cylinder).
4. If it is flammable liquid, BAN smoking and the use of
electrical switches or heat generating devices
5. If the substance is MERCURY, AVOID breathing any
smoke or any contact with the skin, face, clothes or
shoes.
6. Notify the Maintenance staff.
Precautions on ground
If damaged, undoad it (do not open it)
RIS package damaged: medical services

must be notified ASAP
Put it inmediatelly in a safe place &

unload the whole shipment
Every package must be placed in the

correct position
Fire in enclosed areas (OM-B 3.2)
1. If the door is open, close it

2. If the door is closed, touch it with the back of the hand to detect the
source
3. In case of oven fire, turn it off & disconnect CB
4. Equip with the appropriate emergency equipment
5. Open the door using it as a shield
6. Discharge the FE and close the door. If the fire is category A, use non-
flammable liquids
7. Repeat as many times as necessary
8. Monitor to avoid re-ignition
Fire/Smoke/Abnormal behaviour of a lithium battery (OM-B 3.2)
1. Identify the device.

2. Move PAX away from the area
3. Disconnect the device of any power outlet.

Safety events related to dangerous goods

Reported Dangerous Goods Accidents & Incidents Safety Management System
65
Reported Undeclared Dangerous Goods Safety Management System
Dangerous Goods that make their way to the aircraft without anybody know pose a real
risk for aviation Safety.
Nowadays with self-checking we are even more exposed to these type of events since it
is passenger responsibility to make sure they are not carrying and forbidden goods, and
they may not always be questioned by ground staff if they are carrying these type of
items.
Here we can see a few examples of Dangerous Goods events:
Camping Gas in hold luggage: During taxi towards the departure runway at
BCN, a passenger told one of the cabin crew members that they weren’t sure if
they had properly turned of the camping gas cylinder, they had in their
suitcase. The cabin crew informed the captain who decided to return to stand
where Ground staff offloaded the cylinder. The fact that this cylinder was in
checked in baggage went unnoticed by checking staff or airport security.
66
Batteries: On several occasion bags with a high

number of batteries have been detected. These
bags must be reconciled with their owners so that
these batteries can be removed from their bags.
Rush baggage: Screening of rush baggage has

permitted the detection of Dangerous goods
checked-in these bags, that had already been
transported on another Vueling flight. In this
case it was a hoverboard with Lithium batteries.
67
Electric Bicycle: The Guardia Civil detect an electric bike with a Lithium battery that
exceeds the power to be accepted as checking baggage has been checked in. The
passengers didn’t inform Ground staff of the batteries power output. Finally, the Guardia
Civil find the passengers and the battery is removed.
Electric Scooter: The Guardia Civil detect an

electric scooter with a Lithium battery as
checking baggage. The passengers didn’t
inform Ground staff, nor did these ask the
passengers as this scooter was checked-in, in
the special luggage counter. Finally, the
Guardia Civil find the passengers and the
battery is removed.
68
Reported Dangerous Goods Occurrences Safety Management System
Other Dangerous Goods Occurrences include:

• Maintenance or AOG spares which include Dangerous Goods in NOTOC
o Batteries
o Hydraulic liquids
o Oxygen bottles
• Laptops in checked-in luggage
• Electric wheelchairs not complying with OM-A section 9
• Three (3) barrels of roughly 50 litters of an unknow liquid with Dangerous
Good signs on them
• Non drained hydraulic hand pumps
• No declared weapons carried in holds
