| Course Objectives: |
The aim of this course is to give cabin crew necessary theorical and practical training in accordance with the procedures related to flight safety when faced abnormal situations during flight |
| Course Content: |
The primary principle of cabin crew is flight safety. The subjects to be covered in Emergency Safety Rules are slow and sudden decompression, fire/smoke, water and land evecuation, pilot incapacitation and survival. Students will learn these subjects in theory and practical during 3rd and 4th term. When discussing the subject of Slow / Sudden loss of air pressure (decompression) in the cabin, the students will learn the affects of sudden decompression on passengers and crew, indication of decompression in the cabin and procedures to be followed, cabin 02 system and oxygen sytem features according to aircraft types, procedures to be followed while administer first aid oxygen to a passenger, pre-flight check and the operation of portable oxygen bottle, Procedures in relation to turbulance, types (light, moderate, severe) of turbulance and actions to be taken for turbulance.
When discussing the subject of fire/smoke procedures, the students will learn types of fire, Procedures to be followed according to type of fire, type and operation of fire extinguishers on board, Fire/ Smoke procedures and the fixed fire extungisher systems, pre-flight check of potantial fire risk areas and smoke detectors, cabin fire/lavatory fire/ galley fire/cockpit fire, preflight check and operation of fire-fighting equipment.
When discussing the subject of evacuation procedures, the students will learn forced emergency landing /ditching, Unanticipated emergency landing procedures and possitive commands (evacuation on land/ water), Anticipated emergency landing procedures and possitive commands (evacuation on land /water), impact positions for cabin crew and passengers.
