EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS

Since aircraft leave the surface of the planet and fly in the sky, emergency equipment such
as fire extinguishers, life rafts, escape slides, first aid kits, etc. may be required by
authorities to be on board for the protection of passengers and crew. Different size aircraft
designed for different uses have emergency equipment requirements suitable for the
intended purpose of the aircraft. For example, a small single engine aircraft has fewer
required fire extinguishers on board than a 300 seat airliner.

Some items regularly considered emergency equipment are:

• Fire extinguishers

• First aid kits

• Life vests

• Megaphones

• Flashlights

• Fire axes

• Defibrillators

• Life rafts

• Evacuation slides

• Emergency lights

• Emergency exit signs

• Escape ropes

• Smoke goggles and hoods

SEATS, HARNESSES AND BELTS

SEATS

Aircraft seats are constructed to be very strong yet lightweight. They are typically mounted
in groups of two or three seats in a frame. The seat assembly is fitted with quick disconnect
fittings for secure attachment into seat track mounting strips on the cabin floor. The seat
tracks are bolted to structural fuselage frame members. The tracks allow adjustment of
seats forward and aft in 1 inch increments before enabling a lockdown of the seat
Passenger seats are locked into a seat track on the floor of the cabin. .The result is that
seats may be arranged in different configurations (spacing).

SEAT BELTS AND HARNESSES

Seat belts for all passengers and seat harnesses for crew members are required on
passenger service aircraft. If a seat belt is not functional and cannot be changed before
flight, the seat must be placarded and not used. Seat belts are attached to the seat
assembly/frame in most cases. Flight attendant and fold-down jump seats may attach the
seat belts to a bulkhead. Typically passengers seats have a lap belt only. Seat belts that
include shoulder harnesses are used by the crew. The captain and first officer's seat belts

typically include both shoulder harness and crotch strap that fasten into a rotary buckle
along with the lap belts. Seat belts and harnesses are constructed from nylon webbing
which are woven to be extremely strong.

CABIN LAYOUT

Operators may configure seats, galleys, bulkheads and lavatories in a variety of ways as
long as CS25 specifications are met. This does tend to limit configurations to those
commonly found on airlines. Pragmatic location of galleys and lavatories also limits the
cabin layout. Furthermore a lavatory for each seating zone (i.e. first class, coach, etc.) is
required. Flight attendants are charged with assisting passengers at exits in case of an
emergency so their seat locations and control stations are generally limited to be near the
exits. Needless to say, no exit or emergency escape path may be blocked. Thus, cabin layout
is a result of considerations for safety requirements and practical functional arrangements
to serve the passengers.

EQUIPMENT LAYOUT

The location of various equipment on a airliner is not always left up to the operator. As
stated, CS-25 specifies many locations for emergency features and equipment. Some of the
requirements for equipment location on the flight deck are described as "within arm's
reach of the pilot while sitting". Obviously, this leaves the exact location for certain
equipment open. However, when all location specifications are taken into account along
with the practicality of the location of other equipment in the area, manufacturer's produce
aircraft with fairly consistent locations for everything. It is typically the technician’s job to
identify the required equipment stowed in the chosen location and to inspect it for
airworthiness.

CABIN FURNISHING INSTALLATION

Cabin furnishings and installations are considered for safety attributes in addition to their
just being able to function. In particular, materials are closely scrutinized and tested to
ensure that specifications for flammability and smoke production are low.

CABIN ENTERTAINMENT EQUIPMENT

Cabin entertainment is a growing area of attention for airline operators. Many

independent vendors compete to sell airlines particular inflight entertainment packages.
Individual selection of music and movies at each seat location is common. Internet service
is also common. Use of digital data busing for cabin entertainment equipment is growing.
As mentioned, individual seat electronics units (SEU's) are typically mounted under the
seats in each seat row.

GALLEY INSTALLATION

Galley installations on airliners are similar to lavatory installations. Areas of the aircraft are
engineered to permit installation with fittings for connection into water and electrical
systems. The galleys themselves are pre-constructed modular units. One or more units are
used on any given aircraft and configuration. Galleys typically install into the same floor
tracks as the passenger seats but may also have specially dedicated fittings for installation.
Tie rods to structure at they top of the fuselage further secure the installation. Most galleys
are installed at the aft or forward end of the passenger cabin. Between classes of the cabin
(i.e. coach and first class) is also a common galley location.

CARGO HANDLING AND RETENTION EQUIPMENT

Cargo on passenger airliners is handled in different ways depending on the aircraft and the
options installed by the aircraft operator. Cargo compartments are located below the
passenger cabin floor with doors to the exterior of the aircraft so that cargo is loaded into
the compartments from the airport ramp. They are lined with fire resistant sidewall and
ceiling panels. Small passenger transports and many larger ones may simply have an empty
compartment finished to accept loose cargo on a piece-by-piece basis. A major concern is
the shift of cargo during flight maneuvers which could cause a partial loss of control or
inhibit performance. Cargo nets and barriers are used to keep cargo from shifting in these
wide open berths. Numerous fittings are installed on the floor, walls and ceilings of the
cargo compartment into which nets and barriers attach with quick release fittings. Cargo is
loaded into position with consideration to weight and balance requirements on the aircraft
and then the barriers are installed to hold it in place.

AIRSTAIRS

Many airliners have an onboard set of stairs that can be deployed for use should an airport
jetway malfunction or when no jetway service or portable stairs are available. These are
called airstairs. They are typically an electrically deployed set of stairs stowed under the
main cabin floor which extend out the fuselage from below a cabin door to the ground.
