소개의 글

이 시각, 대한항공 조종사들은 본 운항훈련원의 교육/훈련을 마치고 각자 위치에서

최선을 다해 안전운항을 목표로 비행에 임하고 있습니다.

또한, 조종사들은 표준 운항 절차(SOP)라는 바탕 위에, 개개인의 비행 지식과 기량

향상을 위한 노력을 경주하고 있습니다.

더욱이, 세계 일류 항공사를 향한 회사의 노력에 부합하는 교육/훈련을 실시함에 있

어 그 기초라 할 수 있는 조종사의 비행관련 지식은 대한항공에서 더더욱 강조되고

있는 필수 요건이라 해도 과언이 아닙니다.

이에 운항훈련원은 대한항공에 새로이 입문하는 신입 조종사들이 비행에 있어 기본

소양인 일정 수준 이상의 비행관련 지식을 다져가는데 도움이 되고자 합니다.

본 교재는 안전하고 효율적인 운항을 위한 조종사 스스로의 노력에 일조하려는데

그 최종 목표를 두고 있음을 밝히며, 비록 작지만 그 여정 속에서 좋은 동반자가

될 수 있기를 희망합니다.

Chapter 1: Lifesaving and Emergency Equipment

1. Principles of Fire

As you can see, a fire in an aircraft, especially during its operation,

can lead to a disaster if it is not handled in a proper way at its

initial stage.

So, it is important to know for flight crew about the basic principles

of fire in order to extinguish a fire in the right way at the right

time.

A. There are three basic factors for a fire to be broken out.

They are

- Oxygen

- Heat

- Fuel (also, called as Material)

5
Effective Date: 01 NOV 2009
 Beginning

※ By utilizing the properties of these factors, a fire can be

extinguished efficiently and effectively (more details in 3- Fire

Extinguishers).

2- Fire Categories

A. There are different and various types of fires.

They are

- A

- B

- C

B. Below is the table describes them.

Categories Generating Factors Examples

A Combustible materials Paper, Wood, Fabric, Rubber etc.

B Flammable liquid Oils, Greases, Paints etc.

C Electrical devices Galley equipment, switches etc.

※ As you can see, each category has different characteristic and

triggering materials.

So, it is crucial to use a right fire extinguisher for a particular fire.

☞ More details in 3- Fire Extinguishers.

3- Fire Extinguishers

A. There are two ways of putting out a fire.

6
Effective Date: 01 NOV 2009
 Beginning
They are

- By removing the heat.

- By blocking the oxygen.

B. So, the fire extinguishers equipped in Korean Air’s fleets utilize

this method and they are

Types Methods Fire Extinguishers

H20 Removing the heat.

Boeing

(Type 1)

Airbus
Halon Gas Blocking the oxygen.
(Type 2)

Fokker

(Type 3)

※ As we all know, Fokker type airplanes are no longer in operation

here in Korean Air.

However, their fire extinguishers (Fokker/Type 3) are still in use.

7
Effective Date: 01 NOV 2009
 Beginning
This is because when Korean Air disposed of the Fokker fleet, their

fire extinguishers were not included.

Those fire extinguishers are equipped in some A330 cockpits.

So, if you are not a crew of A330, you would not have a chance to

see it.

As we have studied so far, there are different types of fires and fire

extinguishers equipped in Korean Air’s airplanes.

So, it is important to use the right fire extinguisher to extinguish a

particular fire.

Fire Categories Fire Extinguishers

- Any type of fire extinguishers (H20 and halon) can be used for A fire.

- Only halon fire extinguishers (type 1, 2, or 3) must be used for B

and C fires.

※ It is obvious that using a H2O fire extinguisher for category B

(flammable liquid) and C (electrical devices) fires would make the

situation worse. ☞ H2O fire extinguisher, only for category A fire!

8
Effective Date: 01 NOV 2009
 Beginning

C. H2O Fire Extinguisher Instructions

① Hold the handle and turn it clockwise (as the sign indicates) until

it would not turn anymore.

Make sure this safety seal is

not broken before its use.

9
Effective Date: 01 NOV 2009
 Beginning
※ As you keep turning the handle, the C02 cartridge in the handle

will get pushed forward by the spring and punctured by the sharp

pin.

C02 Cartridge

C02 will flow into the

bottle and make a
chemical reaction, which
makes a hissing sound.

② 2. Press the trigger.

- It lasts for about 40 seconds.

Anti-freeze compounds are added for winter. So, Do Not Drink It!

D. Halon Fire Extinguishers Instructions

10
Effective Date: 01 NOV 2009
 Beginning
1. Boeing (Type 1)

① Pull the Ring Pin to activate the fire extinguisher.

Its safety device is pin-type.

So, pull it to activate the
fire extinguisher.

Make sure this plastic

seal (red) is not broken
before its use.

② Squeeze the handle.

11
Effective Date: 01 NOV 2009
 Beginning

2. Airbus (Type 2)

① Push the Safety Clip to activate the fire extinguisher.

Make sure this copper

seal (red) is not broken
before its use.

② Squeeze the handle.

3. Fokker (Type 3)

① Push the Safety Clip to activate the fire extinguisher.

12
Effective Date: 01 NOV 2009
 Beginning
② Squeeze the handle

※ Place your index finger on the ring and then push the handle with

the palm.

※ It lasts for about 40 seconds.

☞ As we have studied in the previous page, the main property of halon

gas is its blocking characteristic of oxygen. So, it is good spray

right on a person who is on fire.

However, if possible, avoid spraying it right onto a face, due to

the fact that there are respiratory organs (nose & mouth), which

could result in dyspnea.

But, remember! as NTSB suggests,

Despite of the halon gas character and its effect to the respiratory

organs, ‘its potential harmful effects on passengers and crew are

negligible compared to the safety benefits achieved

by fighting in-flight fires aggressively’

- NTSB

※ Specially, after a halon fire extinguisher has been used, you need

to make sure that the fire is extinguished completely (or use a H2O

fire extinguisher to quench any smoldering material in order to

prevent re-ignition).

13
Effective Date: 01 NOV 2009
 Beginning
E. In general, the use of a fire extinguisher can be memorized as

below.

P- Pull pin/Push clip (depends on the type).

A- Aim at the base of the fire.

S- Squeeze the handle

※ Make sure that you hold the fire extinguisher upright as much as

possible so that all the content in the bottle can be used

effectively).

S- Sweep side to side (by maintaining 2 3m / 8 9’).

※ If too close→ The fire might get scattered.

※ If too far→ It might be difficult for you to aim it right.

4- Heat-Activated Halon Fire Extinguisher

A. Purpose- To extinguisher a fire timely and efficiently, which is

broken out in an waste basket in a lavatory area.

A lavatory, as you know, is an isolated area.

So, specially, if a fire is broken out when it is vacant it would be

critical for the safety of the flight.

14
Effective Date: 01 NOV 2009
 Beginning
This is the reason of why there is an automatic-type fire extinguisher

equipped in a lavatory, and it is called ‘Heat-Activated Halon Fire

Extinguisher’.

As the name of it indicates, it operates by heat.

When the heat reaches about 80℃ the seals on the nozzles get melted

and the halon gas in the container gets emitted so that it

extinguishes the fire in the garbage can that is placed under the sink

in the lavatory.

All fires (whether it is a small or big fire) broken out in the

aircraft should be regarded as an emergency until it is completely

extinguished.

15
Effective Date: 01 NOV 2009
 Beginning

※ Specially, after a halon fire extinguisher has been used, you need

to make sure that the fire is extinguished completely (or use a H2O

fire extinguisher to quench any smoldering material in order to

prevent re-ignition).

5- Fire Report Items

A. Purpose- To draw up a right plane in order to put out a fire

effectively by delivering right information regarding to

the fire among flight and cabin crew members.

In case there is a fire broke out in the cabin area, the flight crew

shall be received the following information regarding to the fire by

cabin crew, and they shall be delivered to the related-organizations

(ATC or OCC).

When the Low 02 Indication exists, move to a safe place and then take a

necessary action.

D. Considerations

1. When the generated oxygen comes into the mask, due to the pressure

difference (in and out), your ears may pop up.

2. Due to the process of oxygen generation (specially, with the

chemical reaction), you might have a slight headache.

E. Instruction (Puritan)

1. Take the PBE out of the case.

- Pull the Protective Cover.

- Tear the pouch by pulling the strip.

2. Unfold the mask with shake.

※ By pulling the right strap forward, the Starter Candle will get

separated from the 02 Generator and this will begin the oxygen

generation.- When the oxygen flows into the mask a hissing sound

will be heard.

Make sure that the clothe or hair is not protruded between the neck

seal and the neck.- Leaking oxygen from the mask can attract the fire

near by.
