TBC Emer.10.1

Emer.10 Emergency Equipment-Description and Operation

GeneralThis chapter describes the following: emergency lighting, emergency exits, emergency equipment, and oxygen systems.

Emergency LightingEmergency lighting consists of the following:* Cockpit emergency lights.* Cabin standby and emergency lights.* Emergency exit markers/locators/identifiers.* Cabin floor proximity emergency escape path lights.* External overwing escape path lights.* Tailcone escape path lights.The emergency lights illuminate automatically in the event of an interruption/loss of normal electrical power. The system is powered by rechargeable battery packs that can supply power for approximately 10 minutes. The batteries are continuously kept at a full charge by the normal airplane power.Emergency lights are controlled by the EMER LT and EMER PWR switches on the overhead panel. An additional EMERGENCY LIGHT switch is located on the forward cabin attendants' panel. This switch overrides the EMER LT switch to turn on the emergency lights. Cockpit emergency lighting consists of white flood lights to illuminate cockpit instrument and the general cockpit area/door. Cabin lighting consists of emergency standby lights, powered by the Emergency DC Bus, and cabin emergency lights. These lights are located throughout the entire length of the cabin ceiling. The EXIT markers/identifiers are located at the forward passenger and service doors, overwing emergency exits, and aft emergency exit door. Three EXIT locator signs are located in the cabin ceiling area.The seat-mounted cabin floor proximity emergency escape path lights located in each seat on both sides of the aisle, illuminate the cabin aisle floor to direct passengers to the emergency exits.Two external overwing escape path lights, one each located above and aft of the wing, provide illumination to the emergency escape paths on the wings and the ground below the wing trailing edge.

Emergency Equipment -Description and Operation


Emer.10.2 TBC

The tailcone escape path lights, located at the top of the tailcone EXIT, provide illumination on the slide and the ground-contacted area.

Emergency ExitsCockpit Normally, cabin exits will be utilized by flight crew members. However, two sliding clearview windows, adjacent to the windshields, provide an alternate escape route. Escape lines are provided adjacent to the clearview windows for use by crew members to lower themselves to the ground.

CabinThere are seven cabin emergency exit doors; a forward entrance door, service door (right forward fuselage), four overwing emergency exit doors, (two each fuselage side), and, when the tailcone is jettisoned, the aft emergency exit door.Operating instructions for each door are located on the interior and exterior surface of each door. Both forward entrance and service doors have identical handles and similar operating instructions.The forward entrance and service doors are equipped with a “hold open” latch which secures the doors against the fuselage in the open position.The forward entrance and service doors are equipped with self-illuminated slides that inflate and deploy automatically when the door is opened with the girt bar installed in airplane floor fittings. A back-up manual inflation handle is provided on each door slide girt should the slide fail to inflate automatically.

NOTE: For normal door operation, the girt bar on the forward entrance and service doors must be removed from the floor fittings and stowed in clips on the slide cover.

When the aft emergency exit door is opened using the emergency exit handle, the tailcone is jettisoned and a slide is automatically deployed and inflated. Back-up interior and exterior tailcone jettison handles and manual slide deployment handle are located behind the aft emergency exit door. The overwing emergency exit doors have identical handles and emergency operating instructions.

Emergency EquipmentThe airplane is equipped with life vests, first-aid kits, hand operated fire extinguishers, and a fire axe. For location and quantity, see Emergency Equipment Location illustration.

TBC Emer.10.3

Oxygen SystemsTwo independent oxygen systems are installed in the airplane: one in the cockpit for the flight crew and one in the cabin for the passengers and cabin attendants.Portable oxygen cylinders are provided in the cabin. Passenger continuous-flow type masks are attached to the cabin portable oxygen bottles.Protective Breathing Equipment (PBE) are provided in both cockpit and the cabin. The PBE features a smoke hood with a chemical oxygen generator which provides oxygen for 15 minutes.

Flight Crew Oxygen SystemOxygen for the flight crew system is supplied from a high-pressure gaseous oxygen cylinder located behind the First Officer's seat. The composite cylinder has a pressure gage and an integrated pressure regulator/shutoff valve that supply oxygen to the individual mask-regulator compartment. A valve position indicator is located on the twist on-off handle. Oxygen line pressure downstream of regulator is indicated by the OXY LINE PRESS gage on the aft overhead panel.The full-face oxygen mask with pneumatic harness, stowed in the mask-regulator compartment, contains a built-in microphone and a single oxygen regulator control knob. The face seal includes integral purge valve assemblies. These purge valves automatically open when the control knob is in the EMER selection to allow oxygen to enter the face seal purging smoke and fumes. The mask-regulator compartment has an in-place check feature, which allows the oxygen flow and oxygen mask microphone to be functionally tested without removing the mask from its compartment.

Passenger Oxygen SystemOxygen for the cabin, lavatories, and cabin attendants’ stations is supplied by self-contained chemical oxygen generator. The generator provides sufficient oxygen for at least 15 minutes of continuous use. The generator with its associated masks and interconnecting hoses are contained in the Passenger Service Unit (PSU). Passenger masks are located in the cabin as follows:* Four in each PSU at each triple seat location.* Three in each PSU at each double seat location.* Two in each lavatory.* Two at the forward cabin attendant station.* Two at the aft cabin attendant station.

Emer.10.4 TBC

All oxygen compartment doors will open automatically if the cabin altitude exceeds approximately 14,150 feet. If cabin altitude exceeds 14,750 feet and the oxygen masks were not deployed, the NO MASKS alert will be displayed on the EAD.

CAUTION: The oxygen generator surface temperature may reach 500 °F(260 °C) when generating oxygen. Do not touch or attempt to remove generator, as burn injury can result. If an active generator is inadvertently removed from compartment, it must be placed in metal container such as lavatory or galley sink. Heat will scorch other materials or fabrics.

NOTE: Odor similar to scorched cloth may be created by activation of generators. The odor does not affect the purity of the oxygen and there is no fire hazard.

As a backup to the automatic system, a PASS OXY MASK switch, located on the right side of the bulkhead behind the First Officer's seat, provides manual deployment of the masks. Moving the switch to EJECT opens all oxygen compartment doors. The oxygen masks will free fall from the PSU.

NOTE: Holding switch in EJECT position in excess of 5 seconds may cause damage to the oxygen compartment latches.

If necessary, each individual oxygen compartment door also can be opened manually.

Protective Breathing EquipmentOne Protective Breathing Equipment (PBE) is located in the cockpit. The PBE is mounted behind the First Officer. The PBE consists of a solid-state chemical oxygen generator, a chemical scrubber for carbon dioxide and water vapor, and a lose-fitting hood with supporting head harness and neck seal. Oxygen generation is actuated by pulling the actuation ring. Low pressure oxygen is produced from chemical decomposition within the generator. This oxygen is fed to the primary flow nozzle of an ejector device and mixes with the hood gases while inducing flow through the scrubber. The scrubber removes CO2, excess moisture and particles, allowing the oxygen to flow back to the hood.

Donning PBE* Remove unit from storage container.* Tear off red pullstrip and remove unit from plastic wrapper.* Pull actuation ring in the direction indicated.

* Hold the device by the open end of the hood with the life support pack facing away.

* Bend over and grasp hood opening with thumbs and pull hood over head.* Raise to standing position and adjust hood and life support pack for most

comfortable fit. Check neck seal for secure fit.

Portable Oxygen CylindersPortable oxygen cylinders, with continuous flow oxygen masks, are located in the cabin for use by the cabin attendants. Each cylinder contains a hand shutoff valve, relief valve, low and high continuous flow outlets, and carrying strap.
