CAB HARNESS/SEAT BELTS Additional cabin safety equipment is installed for the safety of both passengers and crew members. The cabin harness is one of these safety devices installed on the seats, commonly called a seat belt. The most common term used for cabin crew seats and cabin crew seats is safety harness. This harness provides a positive seat lock to anyone wearing it in the event of a sudden stop or impact such as a rejected takeoff. Operation of the seat belt(1) The buckles are inserted into each other(2) These are pulled to tighten comfortably according to the belt line(3) Lift the buckle to release itFig. 9 Escape Slides AIRCRAFT EMERGENCY ESCAPE SLIDES In the event of an emergency in the cabin, the aircraft is equipped with emergency escape slides at each passenger door. Escape slides are used to help people evacuate the aircraft as quickly as possible. Installation of this emergency slide assembly is normally done at the bottom of the passenger door. If the cocking lever on the door is selected in the ARM position and the door on that side is Open, the emergency slide will be activated and then inflation will automatically follow that side of the door. If inflation fails after activation, you must pull the manual inflation handle on the right side of the door, normally red, to activate manual inflation. The escape slides automatically inflate once the door is opened and the control handle is set to armed mode, which usually takes 4 seconds to fully inflate. THERAPEUTIC OXYGEN Therapeutic oxygen is also provided as part of the first aid and safety equipment inside the cabin for emergency purposes. There are moments or incidents when a passage... in the middle of a sheet of paper... tations. The chemical oxygen generator is sufficient to provide oxygen for at least 15 minutes just in time for the plane to make a rapid descent. The chemical oxygen generator is turned on by one of the lanyards pulled by any passenger when the oxygen masks are activated. This will release the pin which will activate the firing pin and the internal chemicals of iron and sodium chlorate will burn to produce the product oxygen. It will be available at the output manifold of the chemical generator itself which is connected individually to each passenger's masks. This will be a continuous flow of oxygen once generated, so the passenger will need to consume it individually by wearing a face mask as soon as possible if this happens during the flight. The 15 minute period will begin after the oxygen has been generated and is ready for use. Works CitedAirbus Training Manual
