Emergencies are very Few &
Far between on Board andAircraft. The
Incidents of Emergencies related with
Passengers Medical Cases & FirstAid, are
more than any Technical Episodes linked to
theAircraft Itself.
47. We can Divide all the Emergencies
Cabin Crew can Fall-In Two Categories:
1.)Anticipated Emergencies.
2.) Un-Anticipated Emergencies.
48. 1.)Anticipated Emergencies:
In these the Crew Mostly
Have Some Time to Prepare the Cabin &
Passengers to Face the Emergency Efficiently. The
Crew follows the Procedures to be laid down,
Technical Emergencies relating toAircraft usually
Fall in this Category.
49. 2.) Un-Anticipated Emergencies:
In these the Crew Does Not
Have any Prior ‘Notice’about the
Emergency Taking Place. BeingAlert,
Presence of Mind, Quick Decision-Making
& Calm Behavior is the Key to Handling
Such Crisis.
50. Role of Cabin Crew in Emergencies:
1.)Always do all the Pre-Flight Checks
Related to Emergencies.
2.) Co-operate & Co-ordinate with the Other
Members of the Crew in any ‘Situation’.
3.) Show Quickness of Thought & Remain
Composed &Attentive at all Times.
4.) Be Familiar with all the Rules &
Regulations Required of You while You
are Working.
51. 5.) Know the Locations & Use of all the
Emergency Equipment on Board.

&After Take-Off Concerning Passenger
Safety, for e.g. Seat Belt Fastened, all
Hand Baggage StowedAway etc, on all
the Flights Undertaken.

Equipments & also give Safety Demonstration?
Flight Emergency & Safety Equipments:
Most Airlines share a Common
Set of Flight Safety Equipments on Board their
Aircrafts. The Number, Quality, Brands,
Locations of all the Safety Equipments, their
Numbers, are all nearly 99% Identical, as it
Enables Immediate or Quick Usage in
Emergencies.
