Version 1
Revision 0 Page | 5

300
CAUTION:
If a halon fire extinguisher is to be discharged in the flight deck area, all flight crewmembers must
wear oxygen masks and use 100% oxygen with emergency selected.
For electrical fires, remove the power source as soon as possible. Avoid discharging directly on
persons due to possibility of suffocating effects.
Does not discharge too close to fire as the discharge stream may scatter the fire. As with any fire,
keep away from the fuel source.
Avoid breathing vapors, fumes and heated smoke as much as possible. BCF does not contain
cooling properties. If used on paper/fabric fires follow up with any nonflammable liquid, i.e.
water.
Take care that initial discharge does not scatter burning materials - stand within 6ft of the fire.
Continuous use in a confined space may produce toxic fumes.
Do not hold bottle when discharging since BCF can cause minor frost bite.

should be particularly enforced when oxygen is being administered).
iii) Loosen any tight clothing.
iv) Clean face because face creams, oils and cosmetics may cause burns on skin.
4. Administration:
i) Check sufficient pressure is available.

ii) Plug the mask into the desired outlet, Hi or Lo; a click must be heard.

NOTE: Each bottle will provide 100% oxygen at a constant flow. The bottle has a hose and
disposable mask attached. The mask is held in apposition of wearer face by an elastic adjustable
cord

Version 1

300
When in use, the bottle should not be depleted below 300psi to avoid suffocation, rusting and to
facilitate easy refilling.
The Crew shall ensure that the pilot-in-command is informed of the emergency and kept updated.
CAUTION:
If dust caps are out of place, do not replace. Hand over to maintenance and request for
replacement.
The mask must be used only once and after use it must be disposed of and noted in the Tech log.
Pilot in command must also be advised for entry into tech log.
Crew members shall not allow any person to connect or disconnect oxygen dispensing equipment
to or from the oxygen bottle unless that person is medically qualified.
9.2.7.2 Flight Deck Masks Fitted O² System
1. Description
i) A quick donning oxygen mask regulator stowed in a box on each pilots side console with
an extra mask provided an situated next to the observers seat
ii) The oxygen mask also includes a slide, which ventilates the smoke goggles.
2. Pre-Flight Check (primarily a flight crew function)

On the Flight Deck Oxygen Regulator there is a two-position rocker lever on the right hand side.
This is marked:
N: At N the regulator supplies a mixture, dependent on cabin altitude, of AIR and OXYGEN.
100% : At 100% the regulator supplies OXYGEN, regardless of cabin altitude
It is imperative that the rocker lever is checked locked in the 100% position, otherwise in a smoke
filled environment, smoke could be inhaled. This is a flight deck pre-flight check
3. Operation
i) Remove mask from stowage box by squeezing the two red levers and lifting mask
vertically.
Version 1

300
ii) The head harness inflates automatically; fit the mask over nose and mouth.
iii) Release red levers; the head harness deflates into wearer’s head
NOTE: Should Crew have to fit the masks either to themselves or to a pilot, in the event of pilot
incapacitation, the 100% position should always be selected.
The slide on the oxygen mask must be CLOSED when the oxygen mask only is being used and
OPEN when in a smoke filled environment. In the OPEN position, vents are exposed which fit
under the smoke goggles and remove smoke and ventilate the eyes.
Oxygen is used to inflate the elastic harness so that it is larger than the wearers head: when
oxygen is released from the harness it deflates to securely hold the mask into the wearers face
Confirm oxygen is flowing by checking the flow indicator which blinks i.e. yellow star is visible.
Each mask has a microphone to allow wearer to communicate.
4. Use: To provide protective breathing in a smoke filled environment and in-flight medical care.
9.2.7.3 Chemical Oxygen Generators
POLICY

quantity of stored breathing oxygen masks is carried to supply all the crew members, in the event
of loss of pressurization, for any period that the flight will be above 10,000ft. In addition, when an
aircraft is operated at or above 25,000 ft but cannot descent safely within 4 minutes to a flight
altitude of 13,000 ft there shall be no less than a 10-minute supply of oxygen for the occupants of
the Supernumerary compartment.

in the cockpit panel to indicate the ELTs activation. Manual activation may be performed
when any switch is set to ON position
v) Automatic activation occurs when the transmitter switch is set to the OFF position, the
cockpit switch is set to the ARM position and the airplane suffers a deceleration whose
intensity triggers the impact switch.

9.5 EMERGENCY EVACUATION PROCEDURES

General
All crew should be prepared to carry out an evacuation of the aircraft at any time there is a fire, or
risk of fire. They need to be particularly alert after a forced landing, or aborted take-off if the
aircraft should leave the runway, and suffer any substantial damage.
Evacuation Initiation.
The command to evacuate will normally be given by the aircraft commander and for passengers
to evacuate through normal emergency means.
Evacuation Signals.
In the case of the Company's aircraft, the primary signal to evacuate the aircraft will be the alarm
bell. This should be used in conjunction with the RED caution lights of the jump system. Any
intended use of these items outside of the emergency plan should be briefed to crew and
passengers prior to start up. In any event, their use should be avoided during all critical phases of
flight.
Evacuation Duties.
Pilot is expected to know his duties and areas of responsibility in an emergency evacuation. He
will also be familiar with the location and operation of all emergency exits, emergency
equipment.
The pilot will assist passengers in exiting through the forward emergency exits if necessary.
