CABIN ATTENDANT RESPONSIBLE FOR FORWARD AND AFT DOORS
Note : Prior to a ditching, the SURVIVAL KIT must be removed from its
overhead bin and placed on the floor next to the slide-raft container. The survival kit
must now be connected to the girt extension of the slide-raft. The survival kit
lanyard is white and stowed at the hinge side (or forward) girt bar handle. Pull the
lanyard free of the girt bar and attach it to the survival kit.
- Deploy the slide-raft in the same manner as for land deployment.
- Pull manual inflation handle.
Do not wait for automatic inflation.
• If water level close to door sill
Slide-raft is inflated on the water.
- Leave slide-raft attached to cabin floor.
- Put survival kit in slide-raft.
- Board passengers.
- Last crew member separate slide-raft from door sill.
- Cut mooring line.
• If water level too far from door sill
- Disconnect slide-raft from door sill.
Slide-raft remains tied to the aircraft by a 20 feet mooring line.
- Throw survival kit overboard.
- Hold mooring line to keep the slide-raft close to the exit.
- Evacuate passengers into the slide-raft.
- Crew members board slide-raft last.
- Cut mooring line.
- Retrieve survival kit attached via the lanyard to the slide-raft.
Note : As the capacity of the four slide-rafts is large enough to accommodate all
persons on board, priority of evacuation should be given to the doors equipped with
slide-rafts. If the overwing exits are opened the life lines should be attached
between the exit frame and the wing surface to protect the passengers standing on
the wing.

COCKPIT PROCEDURES
- CABIN CREW…………………………………………………………….………..NOTIFY
- LDG ELEV SELECTOR……………………………………………………….SET 7800 FT
It is recommended that the cabin pressure is kept to about 1 PSI to help ensure that the
blast goes outward if the bomb explodes. A landing elevation of 7800 feet correspond to a
P of about 1 PSI at FL100.
- FUEL RESERVES…………………………………………………...………..DETERMINE
Consider fuel consumption for flight in conf 1 with landing gear down is about 2.1 times
that in clean configuration.
- NEXT SUITABLE AIRPORT……………………………...…………………DETERMINE
- FCU SPEED SELECTION KNOB…………………………………………………….PULL
Keep the present speed during the descent in order to reduce the consequences of possible
structural damage if the bomb explodes.
- DESCENT TO FL 100 OR MEA or minimum obstacle clearance altitude.……...INITIATE
• When at FL 100 or MEA : - ADJUST P TO 1 PSI WITH THE LDG ELEV SELECTOR
Increasing the landing field elevation decrease the P.
Decreasing the landing field elevation increase the P.
- GALLEY/COMMERCIAL ( * )………………………………………………………...OFF
- FLAPS (fuel permitting)………………………………………………..AT LEAST CONF 1
For landing use normal configuration.
- LANDING GEAR (fuel permitting except for flight over the sea)…………………..DOWN
• During descent : Set the landing field elevation 2500 feet each cleared altitude.
Before landing, reset the landing field elevation to the true value.
• When aircraft on ground and stopped : - EVACUATION……………………………………………………………..……..INITIATE
Do not use the cabin doors in the vicinity of the bomb.

BOMB ON BOARD (CONT’D)
CABIN PROCEDURES
CAUTION
The least risk bomb location for aircraft structure and systems is CENTER OF THE RH AFT
CABIN DOOR.
- BOMB……………………….………..SECURE AGAINST SLIPPING, AVOID SHOCKS
Secure in the attitude found and do not lift before having checked for an anti-lift ignition
device.
- PASSENGERS………………………...……………………..LEAD AWAY FROM BOMB
- BOMB……………………………………..…………….CHECK NO ANTI-LIFT DEVICE
To check for an anti-lift switch or ever, slide a string or stiff card, such as the emergency
information card under the bomb without disturbing the bomb.
If the string or card cannot be slipped under the bomb it may indicate that an anti-lift
switch or lever is present.
If a card is used and can be slid under the bomb leave it under the bomb and move together
with the bomb. If it is indicated that an anti-lift device is present, it may be possible to move
the bomb together with the surface on which the bomb is located, such as a shelf or seat
cushion.
If it is not possible to move the bomb then it should be surrounded with wetted materials and
other blast attenuation material such as seat cushion and soft carry-on baggage. Move
personnel as far from the bomb location as possible.
• If bomb can be moved : PLACE THE BOMB AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE TO THE CENTER OF THE RH AFT
CABIN DOOR.
- PASSENGERS……………………………………………………………..MOVE/ADVISE
Move passengers at least 4 seat rows away from the least risk bomb location (RH aft cabin
door). If other seats are full these passengers should sit on the floor in protected areas
toward the front of the aircraft.
Passengers near bomb should protect their heads with pillows, blankets etc and sit in the
brace position.
All passengers must remain seated with seats belts on and if possible head below the top of
the head rest.
34/39 ABNORMAL & EMERGENCY PROCEDURES- Emergency Procedures
BOMB ON BOARD (CONT’D)
- LEAST RISK BOMB LOCATION (LRBL)……...………...……PREPARE Build up a platform of solid baggage against the door up to about 25cm (10in) below the
middle of the door.
On top of this build up at least 25cm (10in) of wetted material such as blankets and pillows.
- BOMB…………...………………………….…………….MOVE TO LRBL Carefully carry in the attitude found and place on top of the wetted material in the same
attitude and as close to the door structure as possible.
- LEAST RISK BOMB LOCATION……………………………COMPLETE Build up at least 25cm (10in) of wetted material around the sides and on top of the bomb.
DO NOT PLACE ANYTHING BETWEEN THE BOMB AND THE DOOR AND MINIMIZE
AIRSPACE AROUND THE BOMB.
The idea is to build up a protective surrounding of the bomb so that the explosive force is
directed in the only non protected area into the door structure.
Fill the area around the bomb with seat cushions and other soft material such as hand
baggage up to the cabin ceiling, compressing as much as possible. The more material
stacked around the bomb, the less damage will be.
USE ONLY SOFT MATERIAL. AVOID ANY METAL OBJECTS WHICH COULD
BECOME DANGEROUS PROJECTILES.
- EVACUATION………………………………….……………….EXECUTE Do not use cabin doors in the vicinity of the bomb for disembarkation of passengers.
Use all available airport facilities to disembark without delay. If it is necessary to use
escape slide do not use the right hand side.
