What are the equipments used in land evacuation?

Answer 1

EMERGENCY EXITS For references throughout this manual, the Captain's side of the aircraft will be referred to as aircraft left and the First Officer's side of the aircraft will be referred to as aircraft right. In addition, galley doors may be referred to as service doors. There are 8 emergency exits: * 2 sliding windows in flightdeck-1 aircraft left and 1 aircraft right * Forward entry door * Forward galley door * 2 overwing window exits-l aircraft left and 1 aircraft right * Aft entry door * Aft galley door All exits are plug type. All exits may be opened from the outside as well as the inside, with the exception of the sliding window beside the Captain. DOOR EXITS: All doors are equipped with door mounted slides: * A red strap is located above each window on all doors to indicate an armed and disarmed door slide. * All slides are designed to inflate automatically. * All door handles rotate aft. * All doors will open forward towards the flight deck. To Arm a Slide (prior to pushback) Jetway is moved away from aircraft: * Flight Attendant announcement: "Flight Attendants prepare doors for pushback." * Place strap across door window indicating an armed slide. * Remove girt bar from the door brackets and place it in the floor brackets. * Door exits are in emergency mode. Captain turns off "FASTEN SEAT BELT" sign: * Flight Attendant announcement "Flight Attendants prepare doors for arrival." * Remove the girt bar from the floor brackets and place it in the door brackets. * Place strap in position above door window indicating a disarmed slide. * Door exits are in normal operation mode. To Open a Door in Emergency Mode Face door: * Assess conditions * conditions poor-DO NOT OPEN! BLOCK EXIT AND REDIRECT CUSTOMERS TO A SAFE, USABLE EXIT. * conditions clear-PROCEED * Place one hand on door assist handle. * Place other hand on door handle. * Rotate door handle in the direction of the arrow. Door swings in and then out. * Transfer hand to assist handle. * Push door open completely against the aircraft-slide; should inflate. * If slide does not inflate, pull inflation handle as back up to ensure slide inflates. * Evacuate customers. To Open an Overwing Window Exit in Emergency Mode Face aft: * Assess conditions * conditions poor-DO NOT OPEN! BLOCK EXIT AND REDIRECT CUSTOMERS TO A SAFE, USABLE EXIT. * conditions clear-PROCEED * Remove plastic cover when present. * Place aisle hand in the top hand hold. * Place other hand palm up in the bottom hand hold (or grasp arm rest). * Pull down on top hand hold/handle to remove window. * Stow window on seats (in some circumstances it would be preferable to throw window outside aircraft, away from exit). * Evacuate customers. On some 300 series aircraft a plastic cover will be present over the top hand hold and release handle. This cover must be removed before the exit can be opened. A bottom hand hold/release handle or an arm rest will also be present to aid in maneuvering the opened window outside and away from the aircraft.
