What type of Fire/smoke protection does the Flight & Cabin crew rests have?
Each crew rest compartment (Flight Crew/Cabin Crew) has as a Smoke Detection Function (SDF).
The SDF provides information to the ECAM to generate applicable fire
warnings, or detector fault cautions.
There are two fire extinguisher bottles that can discharge extinguisher agent in the lower deck cabin
crew rest compartment.
Lower Cabin Crew Rest compartment indicates what when smoke/fire is detected?
If smoke is detected in the lower cabin crew rest compartment:
- Aural and visual warnings trigger
- Ventilation shut-off valves close
What type of fire protection does the lavatories have?
Each lavatory has a Smoke Detection Function (SDF).
There is one smoke detector next to the air extraction vent, that is in the ceiling of each lavatory.
If the SDF detects smoke in any upper or lower lavatory, the SMOKE MAIN (UPPER)(LOWER) DECK
LAVATORY SMOKE warning triggers, and the Flight Attendant Panel (FAP) displays an associated
cabin smoke alert.
The wastebin in each lavatory has a built-in, automatic, fire extinguishing system.
What type of Fire protection does the Cabin Work Station have?
The Cabin Work Station (CWS) has a Smoke Detection Function (SDF) (if installed). If the SDF detects smoke in the CWS, the SMOKE MAIN(UPPER) XX CWS(RCC) SMOKE warning triggers, and the Flight Attendant Panel (FAP) displays an associated cabin smoke alert.
What type of Fire Protection does the Social Area have?
The social area has a Smoke Detection Function (SDF).
If the SDF detects smoke in the social area, the SMOKE UPPER 1L(R) SOCIAL AREA SMOKE
warning triggers, and the Flight Attendant Panel (FAP) displays an associated cabin smoke alert.
How can the EMERGENCY LIGHTING be selected manually selected ON?
The emergency lighting system can be controlled from:
- The cockpit via the EMER EXIT LT sw on the overhead panel, or
- The cabin via the Flight Attendant Panels (FAP)
How does the EMERGENCY LIGHTING come on automatically?
All emergency lights automatically come on, when:
- The flight crew sets the EMER EXIT LT sw to ARM, and
- All Normal AC power (i.e. ENG GENs, APU GENs, EXTs) is not available, or
- The Essential AC power (i.e. the normal AC is lost and the RAT does not deliver power) is lost.
Can EMERGENCY LIGHTS be activated with the EMER EXIT LIGHT sw in OFF?
Yes.
When the cabin crew presses the EMER pb-sw on the FAP, the
cabin emergency lights (except the emergency slide lights) come
on regardless of the flightdeck switch position.
What does this mean on the EMERGENCY LIGHTS ANNUNCIATOR?
The cabin emergency lighting system is set to off.
What is the Crew Oxygen test process?
●On the Oxygen Panel:
CREW SUPPLY pb-sw…………. CHECK ON
●On the glareshield:
LOUDSPEAKERS ……………….. CHECK ON
●On the RMP:
INT recepti………… PRESS OUT - ADJUST
INT/RAD switch ……………………….. INT
PRESS TO TEST AND RESET pb …………………………….. PRESS AND HOLD
Check that the oxygen flow indicator turns yellow for a short time, and then goes black.
Hold the PRESS TO TEST AND RESET pb down, and press the EMERGENCY selector.
Check that the oxygen flow indicator turns yellow, and remains yellow, as long as the
EMERGENCY selector is pressed.
For the PM only – hold the EMERGENCY selector for 10 seconds. During this period monitor the pressure indication on the DOOR page and verify that the crew oxygen pressure does not decrease more than 100 PSI at any stage.
Listen for oxygen flow through the loudspeakers. Inform any engineer whose headset may be connected to the nose intercom, that a loud noise may be heard.
Check that the PRESS TO TEST AND RESET pb returns to the up position.
Check that the N/100% selector is in the 100% position.
Press the EMERGENCY selector again.
Check that the oxygen flow indicator remains black. This ensures that the mask is not supplied with oxygen.
Check that the EMERGENCY selector is NOT turned right in the direction of the arrow (permanent overpressure). This ensures that the oxygen permanent overpressure is not supplied.
What does the selection of EMERGENCY provide on the Crew EROS mask?
The EMERGENCY selector provides overpressure, if necessary (e.g. to prevent smoke, smell, or
ashes from entering the mask, or to remove condensation).
- When pressed, and until released, supplies oxygen overpressure
- When turned, permanently supplies oxygen overpressure
If the cabin altitude is above 30 000 ft, oxygen overpressure is automatically supplied
What does the selection of 100% / N do?
When the pushbutton-switch is
released (N position), the mask provides a mixture from the ambient cockpit air and the oxygen.
The proportion of air and oxygen in the mixture depends on the cabin altitude.
If the cabin altitude is above 30 000 ft, the mask automatically provides 100% oxygen
When does the FIXED OXYGEN SYSTEM FOR THE CABIN come on Automatically?
- Automatically, in the case of cabin depressurization, when the cabin altitude is above 13 800 ft
The Pax Oxygen masks are stowed in containers, where are the containers positioned throughout the aircraft?
These containers are above the passenger seats, in each lavatory, in each galley, at each cabin
crew station, in both stairs, and in each crew rest compartment.
How is the therapeutic oxygen panel door opened?
. The cabin crew opens this door with a Manual Release Tool.
What are the steps by the Cabin Crew to manually activate the Therapeutic Oxygen?
To provide oxygen to a passenger, the cabin crew:
- Activates the therapeutic oxygen panel on the FAP (if the therapeutic oxygen system is not yet active)
When the cabin crew activates the therapeutic oxygen system, the bypass valve of therapeutic oxygen system opens.
- Opens the door of a therapeutic oxygen panel with a Manual Release Tool
- Connects a portable mask to one of both outlets (4ltrs/min or 2ltrs/min).
When the therapeutic oxygen system activates, the THERAP OXYGEN ON memo appears on the
ECAM.
When the oxygen quantity assigned to first aid is consumed, the ECAM triggers the OXY THERAP OXYGEN CONSUMED alert. The flight crew asks the cabin crew to deactivate the therapeutic
oxygen system. Thus, there will be enough oxygen to comply with depressurization requirements
What does the CREW SUPPLY pb do?
As part of the overall system, the supply valve is normally open. The flight crew can manually close the valve to stop oxygen supply, by using the CREW SUPPLY pb-sw that is on the OXYGEN overhead panel.
How is the Therapeutic Oxygen system activated automatically?
If the emergency oxygen system activates (automatically 13,800ft, or manually), the therapeutic oxygen
system automatically activates. In this case, the cabin crew is not able to deactivate the therapeutic
oxygen system for the remainder of the flight.
What are the indications on the flight deck when someone has entered the access code (routine access) of the Flight Deck door
A buzzer sounds in the cockpit for 2 s with a “DOOR PLEASE” audio message
What indications on the flight deck do you get when the EMERGENCY ACCESS code has been entered?
A buzzer sounds in the cockpit until the flight crew unlocks, or locks the door by using the CKPT DOOR sw.
The DOOR CKPT DOOR EMER OPENING IN PROGRESS alert is also triggered.
After identification of the person that requests access, unlock the door by using the CKPT DOOR sw
Also the CKPT DOOR light flashes amber.
After the Emergency cod e has been entered to access the Flight Deck, If the flight crew don’t respond, when will the door open?
The door unlocks after 30 seconds

door handle
In normal Ops, how does the door revolve?
In emergency ops, how does the door revolve?
In normal operation, the door revolves electrically by pressing the OPEN pb, or the CLOSE pb.
In emergency operation, the door revolves automatically.
What does the FLIGHT Lock actuator do?
There is a flight lock actuator in each door that locks the door handle during the climb and descent phases, in order to prevent inadvertent operation during flight.
The flight lock actuator releases the door handle in one of the following cases:
- During cruise, or During cruise, the differential pressure between the exterior and the interior of the aircraft prevents the doors from opening.
- If the aircraft is on ground, or
- In the case of a cabin differential pressure detection, or
- If there is a failure of the LDC, or of the flight lock actuator.
The flight lock actuator locks the door handle, when the aircraft reaches a speed of 65 kt. The door
handle remains locked until the aircraft reaches FL 240
How does the door operate when electrical power is lost?
In the case of an electrical power loss, the door can be manually operated
What does it mean when the CABIN PRESSURE WARNING light Flashes?
Flashes, in the case of a cabin differential pressure detection, if:
- The aircraft is on ground
- The associated slide is disarmed.
Cabin differential pressure is detected, if the difference between the cabin
pressure and the outside pressure is above 0.036 PSI.
Associated with an aural alert, if the door control handle is lifted up.
These aural and visual alerts are inhibited during evacuation:
- Via the EVAC COMMAND pb on the overhead panel or the CIDS
EVAC sw on the FAP in the cabin
- If the door is opened while the slide is armed.
WARNING Do not open the door, if the red warning light is flashing on the
door window (cabin pressurized).
Pre-cabin reconfig aircrafts
How many PASSENGER DOORS AND EMERGENCY EXITS?
The aircraft has 16 passenger doors:
- Five doors on each side of the aircraft, for the main deck
- Three doors on each side of the aircraft, for the upper deck.
Can the escape slides deploy when the door is opened from the outside?
NO. If the door is opened from the outside, the escape slide automatically disarms.
What indications do you get If the escape slide arming lever is set to ARMED, and the door opens from the inside?
If the escape slide arming lever is set to ARMED, and the door opens from the inside:
- An advisory SLIDE ARMED light comes on in the door window
- The escape slide automatically inflates.
Each escape slide inflates in approximately 6 s.
What indications do you get when the DITCHING pb is set to ON?
If the DITCHING pb-sw is set to ON:
* The automatic inflation of escape slide at the M3 doors is inhibited
* The automatic deployment of the M1 doors extension slide is inhibited.
Which escape slides can’t be used as Slideraft?
It is possible to use each escape slide as a slideraft, except for:
- The escape slide at the M3 doors
- The escape slide at the M1 door, when it is inflated in extended mode.
In the case of ditching, how do the cabin crew detach each escape slide from the aircraft?
- Pulling the disconnect handle
- Cutting the mooring line of the escape slide in order to separate the raft from the aircraft.
Which doors have an extension slide?
And why?
And How?
Only the M1 doors have an extension slide.
If the aircraft pitch attitude angle exceeds a specific threshold (e.g. abnormal landing gear
configuration), the escape slides deploys with the extension.
The aircraft pitch attitude angle is detected by a pitch attitude sensor that is on each M1 door. If the
pitch attitude is more than 2.5 °, the slide extension is deployed.
Where is the manual inflation pb for the escape slides?
