Q

What is the step by step process after the SCCM receives the NITS briefing from the Flight deck?

A
  1. SCCM will make an ALL ATTENDANT CALL to each crew station
  2. SCCM will request an individual confirmation from all CC (horse shoe pattern) “L2 present, L3 present …”
  3. SCCM will communicate the NITS briefing clear and in a calm manner

safe zone - 15 meters and a megaphone is the appraise equipment to bring
42
what is decompression?
the loss of cabin pressure and temperature will decrease and the cabin altitude will increase leading to hypoxia if adequate oxygen is not obtained
43
what does the atmosphere consist of?
78% nitrogen 21% oxygen 1% other gases
44
what is hypoxia?
the lack of oxygen in the body cells and tissues. insufficient O2 levels leads to impairment of all cell functions. hypoxia results in unconsciousness and death within a short period of time

at 14,000 ft
46
what is the safe altitude?
10,000 ft

signs and symptoms of hypoxia
headaches and dizziness difficulty breathing blue skin, lips, ears and fingertips tiredness/fatigue euphoria gradual loss of eyesight gradual loss of consciousness

what is the time of useful consciousness (TUC) = table
22,000. 5 minutes. TUC 10 min 25,000. 2 minutes. TUC 03 minutes 28,000. 1 minutes. TUC 1.5 minutes 30,000. 45 seconds. TUC 1.25 minutes 35,000. 30 seconds. TUC 45 seconds 40,000. 18 seconds. TUC 30 seconds TUC = no activity
49
slow decompression drill STEP BY STEP
at the first noticeable sign of possible slow decompression: - ALERT ... flight crew or informed by flight crew of a possible S.D. - STOP ... activities - SECURE ... self in designated crew seat - INSTRUCT ... passengers to fasten seatbelt - KEEP ... flight crew informed If O2 masks have deployed - APPLY ... rapid decompression drill
50
if there were a potential cracked window. what would you do.
move passengers away from the area if possible. If unable to, instruct passengers to - fasten their seatbelt - use a wet blanket to cover the window
51
what is rapid decompression?
RD may take place due to the loss of a cabin door, rupture of fuselage, or an explosion. this requires immediate emergency descent followed by landing in the nearest airport
52
difference between objective signs and subjective signs
objective signs are: things you can see and hear subjective signs are: things you can feel
53
rapid decompression drill STEP BY STEP
DON ... nearest oxygen mask SECURE ... self when advised via FC PA "this is the captain, emergency descent completed, emergency descent completed" OBTAIN ... PO and MRT CHECK ... flight crew CHECK ... cabin, lavs, galley's and CRC ADMINISTER ... first aird/oxygen REPORT ... cabin damage/injuries to FC SECURE ... cabin for landing
54
what are the two types of O2 bottles on board?
Portable oxygen set - single outlet type Portable oxygen set - dual outlet type
55
what does the dual outlet 02 bottle consist of?
oxygen bottle (cylinder) O2 mask carrying strap pressure gauge HI flow outlet LO flow outlet overpressure valve refilling valve ON/OFF knob
56
what is the duration of the dual O2 bottle?
HI FLOW - 1 hr 17min LO FLOW - 2 hr 34 min
57
PREFLIGHT CHECK - DUAL O2
