2.04.1 DESCRIPTION
An aft opening double hinged door separates the flight crew compartment from the
forward cargo compartment. It opens rearward into the cargo area.
The door has an electromagnetic locking system controlled by the pilots. In normal
operations, the door is closed and locked to ensure flight safety.
The door is bulletproof and fully compliant with rapid decompression requirements.
This door shall be closed prior to engine start for take-off and will be locked when
required by security procedure or the Captain, until engine shut down after landing.
L1 R1
Cabin to forward
cargo area door
The flight crew compartment door locking system ON/OFF control switch is located
on the circuit breaker panel behind the first officer seat. When on “ON” position, the
flight crew compartment door locking system is operative, whereas when on “OFF”
position, the system is inoperative.
A door control panel located on the central pedestal enables the flight crew to lock
and unlock the flight crew compartment door. The flight crew will be made aware of
the access request by a buzzer associated with a light on the door control panel. To
allow entry into the flight crew compartment, the pilots will place the toggle switch on
OPEN, and to deny entry they will place the toggle switch on DENY.
FAULT
OPEN
The door call panel is used by the cabin crew members to request pilots to open the
door. There are 2 different access request modes: a “normal” access type and an
“emergency” access request.
When requesting access to the flight crew compartment area, the cabin crew should
have closed the cabin to cargo door and stand in the axis of the flight crew
compartment door.
The light illuminates steady when the door has been unlocked
by the flight crew. The door will remain unlocked for 10 seconds.
Cabin crew will need to pull on the door panels to open.
The light illuminates steady when the flight crew has denied the
cabin crew access to the flight crew compartment. The door will
remain locked and the light will remain on for the next 3 minutes.
Any action on the call panel will be inhibited for this time.
The emergency mode is to be used only if there is no reply from the flight crew
following a normal call and an interphone call (possibility of both pilots incapacitated).
After pressing the button, the green light flashes for 30 seconds together with the
continuous buzzer sound activated in the flight crew compartment, after which the
door will unlock automatically.
Cabin crew will need to pull on the door panels to open.
To avoid unlawful interference, a pilot can cancel the unlocking of the door by moving
the toggle switch onto “DENY” position within the 30 seconds period.

2.04.6 OTHER EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
In all cases, flight crews have to isolate the door electrical circuit as follow:
On circuit breaker panel 122VU, the crew opens the following circuit breakers:
- DOOR / CDCU FAULT on K20 position.
- DOOR / CDCU LATCHES SPLY on M18 position.
Remove the 2 quick release hinged pins located on top and bottom of each
door panels.
FCC Right panel electric plug
R Smack (hit with open hand) the door panel on the top (near the quick release hinged
pins) in order to unhinge the door panel.
The flight crew compartment is an area with a very restricted access. Indeed no
person, other than a flight crew member assigned to a flight, is admitted to, or carried
in, the flight crew compartment unless that person is:
In the interests of safety, admission to the flight crew compartment should not cause
distraction and/or interfere with the flight operation; and all persons carried on the
flight crew compartment should be made familiar with the relevant safety procedures.
The flight crew compartment door being closed from engines start for take-off until
engines shut down at parking stand; requests to access the flight crew compartment
will be done through interphone. It is, indeed, a necessity to make self known to the
flight crew before operating the flight crew compartment door panel.
NOTE: ATR offers the possibility to equip the aeroplane with a cabin video
surveillance. This option includes the installation of 3 video cameras in the cabin.
One video camera installed in the forward cargo area controls the flight crew
compartment entry door and 2 additional cameras provide with full passengers
cabin view. A video display is installed on the right hand side lateral maintenance
panel allowing the pilots to get a complete view of the cabin.

he lavatory waste bin is equipped with an automatic fire extinguisher that contains
R 120g of chemical product Bromotrifluoromethane (Halon 1301 - CF3 Br)
4.03.2 ACTIVATION
If there is a fire in the waste bin, the fire extinguisher operates automatically.
When the temperature reaches approximately 78°C (17 4°F) the plug installed in the
end of the discharge tubes melts and lets the agent flow into the waste bin.
IMPORTANT: Due to the difficulty to access the lavatory automatic fire extinguisher a
daily check is normally done by engineering.
According to operator standard procedures, the cabin crew could be asked to
perform the pre-flight check as well (checking that the plugs on the extinguisher
nozzles are still in place).
In all cases cabin crew must always check that the waste bin flap cover is properly
closed.

1. Pull the door control handle/lever downward, the door locking indicator turns
stripy red and white
2. Restrain the door falling outward and downward
Difficulties may be encountered for opening the entrance door from outside. This will
arise only, when all aeroplane doors and exits are closed, and if:
– First case, GPU connected to the aeroplane: A strong extract fan runs
automatically in order to cool down the avionic/electric and electronic systems.
This fan creates suction in the flight crew compartment, cabin and cargo
(deflating) and the aeroplane is in fact depressurizing itself on the ground
– Second case, Air Conditioning Unit (ACU) connected to the aeroplane: It will
slowly pressurize the aeroplane on the ground (inflating)
CABIN CREW OPERATING MANUAL 6.03
• Slightly open the service door (from outside). Move the door handle slowly
(enough for the vent flap to open and equalize pressure) since opening fully
and quickly could make the door popping out fast, with risks of injury for the
operator
OR
1. Put the safety pin in place (Only on ATR 500 and 600 series)
2. Lift the door control handle upward
3. Push the door outward

* NOTE: On ATR 500/600 it is crucial on all flights to remove the pin after
closing the door:
If the pin is not removed and the door is opened in an emergency situation, the
handrail will not fall to a lower position and the evacuation will be slowed down.
ATR offers the option to install an entry door and a built-in stair at the left hand
side forward area, instead of the cargo door.
This type I entry door is an outward opening door with a net opening of 92
centimetres (36,22 inches) wide and 1,81 metre (71,25 inches) high.
The door will be used for boarding and disembarking, and is not an emergency
exit.
If this door is installed, the forward left cargo compartment will then be
suppressed and access to the forward right hand side cargo compartment only
possible from outside.
Note: On a few aeroplanes, the left hand side type III exit (L1) is located further
down the cabin (At wings level).

EMERGENCY PROCEDURES P1
Flight crew and cabin crew should function as one team with a common goal: flight
safety.
During operations and in their duties related to the safety of passengers and flight,
the cabin crew should at all time liaise with the flight crew members.
Any situation, feeling, behavior, observation that alerts the cabin crew members to a
possible threat to flight safety, must immediately be reported to the flight crew
members.
A cabin crew can play a crucial role by giving information to the flight crew in a timely
and accurate manner. A clear, concise and specific vocabulary needs to be used.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES P1
Turbulence is a stream of air in irregular motion that normally cannot be seen and
often occurs unexpectedly. It can be created by a number of different conditions such
as:
• Thunderstorms
• Mountainous areas
• Jet streams
• Sudden temperature changes
• Light/Moderate turbulence
• Anticipated severe turbulence
• Un-anticipated severe turbulence
10.02.1 LIGHT / MODERATE TURBULENCE
During turbulence, in the absence of any instructions from the flight crew, the senior
cabin crew member shall be entitled to discontinue non-safety related duties and
advise the flight crew of the level of turbulence being experienced and the need for
the fasten seat belt signs to be switched on. This should be followed by the cabin
crew securing the passenger cabin and other applicable areas.
The flight crew will brief the cabin crew members of the expected turbulence and its
severity. The seat belt sign will be illuminated in order for the cabin crew to inform the
passengers, complete a thorough cabin securing and store any loose items (ex:
service trolleys). All services should be stopped.
After reporting the cabin status to the flight crew, each cabin crew will then secure
themselves in their respective stations.
Once the turbulence has passed and the “Fasten seat belt” sign has been switched
off, cabin crew will complete a cabin walk around to report the cabin state and any
possible injuries, administering first aid if and where necessary.
CABIN CREW OPERATING MANUAL 10.02
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES P2
That type of turbulence appearing suddenly will not allow the flight crew to warn the
cabin crew in advance. Therefore, to alert the cabin of the severity of the turbulence
and potential danger, the flight crew will switch both cabin signs OFF/ON and make
a PA announcement.
At this stage, cabin crew should immediately seat down on the nearest available
seat and inform passengers to secure themselves.
Once the turbulence has passed and the “Fasten seat belt” sign has been switched
off, cabin crew will complete a cabin walk around to report the cabin state and any
possible injuries, administering first aid if and where necessary.

An in-flight fire is probably the most serious in-flight emergency. It is imperative that
no time is lost dealing with the situation since any fire, no matter how small, may
rapidly become out of control, if not dealt with quickly.
Fire cannot exist without all of these 3 elements in place and in the right proportions.
Fire can be extinguished by removing any one of the elements of the fire triangle.

Multiple classification systems exist, with different designations for the various
classes of fire. This manual refers to the American classification, the most commonly
used internationally.
Class A and C are the most commonly encountered fires on board aeroplane.
It is important for cabin crew to select the appropriate fire extinguisher, according to
the class of fire.
*Note:
If the halon extinguisher is used on a class A fire, cabin crew will need to cool down
the area with any non alcoholic liquid (water, juice, tea).
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES P3
Cabin crew should maintain continuous vigilance and be alert to any indication of a
fire.
Some of the prevention duties of the cabin crew may be:
Cabin crew member will have to deal with a fire situation alone if on ATR 42 or in a
team of 2 cabin crew on ATR 72.
Cabin crew member(s) will have to simultaneously hold the following roles:
• Fire fighter
• Communicator
• Back-up
• Crowd controller
The fire fighter is the person that discovers the fire, taking the nearest appropriate fire
extinguisher and preparing to fight it.
• Fire location
• Fire source
• Severity/density of fire and/or smoke (colour / odour)
• Number of fire extinguishers used and remaining
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES P4
The crowd controller main role will be to calm and reassure passengers making sure
panic is avoided. Passengers could be relocated according to the fire location.
Note: Only as a guideline and in the event of the presence of two crew members on
board, we recommend that the first crew member assumes simultaneously the fire
fighter and communicator role whereas the second cabin crew member will fill the
role of back up and crowd controller.
Cabin crew should remember that each situation varies and therefore they should
use their own judgement according to the situation encountered.
After the fire has been dealt with, cabin crew may move passengers away from
firefighting area. If the amount of smoke or fumes is affecting the passengers,
encourage them to cover their mouth and nose and breathe near floor level. A better
option would be to distribute wet towels (if available).
When a fire occurs in a cabin enclosed area, such as an overhead bin or closet,
always check the door panel for heat using the back of the hand before opening.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES P5
Note: Cabin crew should not discharge the fire extinguisher randomly into an
enclosed area if the source of fire has not been located.
Oven fires are a common occurrence onboard an aeroplane. When an oven fire
occurs, the oven door should be kept closed to deprive the fire from oxygen.
• To switch off electrical power - Hot jugs, oven if available – (Refer to chapter
3.03 p2)
• Stand by with an extinguisher and other relevant equipment (Ex: PBE)
• Monitor the situation
• Open the oven door slightly
• Insert the halon diffuser
• Discharge the halon extinguisher
• Close the oven door
• Monitor
R • Report to flight crew

Hidden areas:
“Hidden Areas” are areas which are not readily accessible to the crew; such as
sidewall panels, floors, bulkheads, ventilation grids and ceiling panels.
If the cabin crew suspects a fire in a hidden area, he should try to locate a “hot spot”
sweeping the back of the hand along the panel to find the hottest area.
It may be necessary to remove panels to access the area, or to make a hole in a
panel large enough to insert the extinguisher nozzle.
Aft cargo compartment:
Access to the aft compartment being uneasy, locating the source of fire may be
difficult. Cabin crew should then:
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES P8
It is important that cabin crew are aware of any smoke indications and report it to the
flight crew members immediately. The source of smoke should be immediately
identified in order to take the appropriate actions.
R Note: Cabin crew should not discharge the fire extinguisher randomly into an
R enclosed area if the source of fire has not been located.
Materials that are used in the cabin release toxic fumes when smouldering.
The cabin crew must protect themselves as well as the flight crew and passengers
from the negative effects and consequences of smoke inhalation by:

EMERGENCY PROCEDURES P1
The loss of pressurization can be slow, in case of a small air leak, while a rapid or
explosive decompression occurs suddenly, usually within a few seconds.
Slow decompression may not always be obvious. The flight crew members might be
the first alerted when the altitude warning system detects a cabin altitude reaching
10.000 ft
In some cases, an unusual noise, such as a hissing sound around the cabin area,
may be an indication of a slow decompression. One of the first physiological
indications may be ear discomfort or “popping”, joint pain, or stomach pain due to gas
expansion.
When the cabin crew suspects a slow decompression, the flight crew members
should be notified immediately.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES P2
10.04.3 HYPOXIA
One of the greatest dangers during decompression is hypoxia. Hypoxia which is the
lack of oxygen can significantly reduce the crew members’ ability to perform and lead
to errors.
It is necessary to remember that each person may not react in the same way, and
that symptoms of hypoxia may manifest themselves differently in each individual.
Some of these symptoms become more or less pronounced with the lack of oxygen,
for example:
• Impaired vision
• Impaired judgment
• Impaired motor skills
• Slurred speech
• Memory loss
• Difficulty in concentrating
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES P3
The time of useful consciousness (TUC) refers to the time available to individuals to
perform their tasks, after they have been deprived of oxygen, but are still aware of
their environment and capable of controlling their actions.
The time of useful consciousness is different for each individual and depends on the
altitude, the individual’s state of health and the amount of activity.
Some other factors can contribute to reducing the time of useful consciousness:
• Fatigue
• Physical effort
• Alcohol
• Age
In case of decompression the first action to be performed by the cabin crew is to sit
down, secure themselves and get on oxygen using their respective portable bottles
and masks (See chapter 4.05 p 4). The flight crew will make an emergency descent
trying to reach the safe altitude of 10000 feet.
CABIN CREW OPERATING MANUAL 10.04
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES P4
When the emergency descent has been completed and a safe altitude has been
reached, the flight crew should notify the cabin crew members that it is safe to walk
around the aeroplane.
Cabin crew members should remain on oxygen using their respective portable
oxygen bottles and masks. This is to prevent any symptoms of hypoxia during the
cabin walk around.
• Check passengers for any injuries and provide first aid if required
• Check for cabin damage
• Report the cabin status to the flight crew members
• Follow Captain’s directives
CABIN CREW OPERATING MANUAL 10.04
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES P5
Note: In a case when a cabin crew happens to be inside the flight crew
compartment when a rapid decompression situation arises, he/she could use the
observer’s Quick Donning Mask if necessary.
CABIN CREW OPERATING MANUAL 10.05
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES P1
Crew member incapacitation is defined as any condition which affects the health of a
crew member during the flight phase and which decreases his skill for the assigned
tasks.
Incapacitation is a real air safety hazard, which occurs more often than many of the
other emergencies. Incapacitation can occur in many forms varying from obvious
sudden death to subtle, partial loss of function. It occurs in all age groups and during
all phases of flight and may not be preceded by any warning.
The healthy pilot must ensure that the incapacitated pilot cannot interfere with the
aeroplane control. He must call a cabin crew over the PA to lock the incapacitated
pilot on his flight crew seat. If the flight crew compartment door is locked, the cabin
crew member will apply the relevant procedure to unlock the system and provide first
aid.
On the flight crew call, any cabin crew must proceed to the flight crew compartment.
• Place the incapacitated pilot’s arms across his chest and secure them with
the shoulder harness
• Manually lock the shoulder harness
• Push back and recline the seat completely
• Administer first aid (if required)
• Assist the operating pilot as directed (Check-list reading back)
CABIN CREW OPERATING MANUAL 10.06
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES P1
In all cases, the primary responsibility of the cabin crew during an evacuation is to
direct passengers to evacuate the aeroplane using all the usable exits.
The aim of an evacuation is to ensure that passengers and crew members leave the
aeroplane as rapidly and as safely as possible. Cabin crew must therefore be
assertive and firm.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES P2
The information in this chapter 10.06.2 is valid for both ground evacuation and
ditching.
Statistically, 90% of unplanned evacuations were the result of event that occurred
during taxi, takeoff and landing phases of the flight.
(See chapter Normal procedures 9.03 page 5 - Cabin securing –b) cabin ready)
• Evaluate
Cabin crew members must evaluate the inside and outside conditions in order to
determine if potential hazard might be considered (Fire, smoke, water…)
• Operate
• Evacuate
• Congregate
Congregation of passengers and crew upwind (If possible) and at least 200 metres
away from the aeroplane
CABIN CREW OPERATING MANUAL 10.06
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES P3
It is after the aeroplane has come to a complete stop and the engines are both turned
off that the flight crew member will inform the cabin crew of their intention to evacuate
should the situation requires so.
A command to stand by at their respective station will be given to the cabin crew over
the PA.
Cabin crew must then anticipate a possible evacuation command and start checking
if the outside conditions are safe, areas are clear of fire, smoke, obstacles and
debris.
Cabin crew will then wait to receive further instructions from the flight crew.
However, it may be necessary for the cabin crew to initiate an evacuation, when the
situation is considered catastrophic; meaning there is an immediate danger to the
aeroplane occupants or if no other options than an evacuation can be considered.
If the cabin crew considers that an evacuation is necessary, they must still attempt to
contact the flight crew in order to inform them of the situation.
CABIN CREW OPERATING MANUAL 10.06
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES P4
After the evacuation order has been received or initiated, cabin crew should open the
exits, only if it is safe to do so. It is essential that passengers evacuate the aeroplane
immediately.
The cabin crew members will instruct passengers with clear, loud and positive
commands to:
Verbal instructions will also be enforced with the use of appropriate gestures to call
the passengers.
Cabin crew must monitor the evacuation and maintain an even flow of passengers
from each exit to avoid congestion in the cabin.
Note:
In the event of an planned emergency (Ex: rejected take-off, skidding off the
runway…) the “brace” command may come from the flight crew members. Cabin
crew will instruct passengers to assume a brace position by shouting continuously
and until the aeroplane came to a complete stop:
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES P5
After all passengers have evacuated the aeroplane, cabin crew need to check the
cabin and flight crew compartment area before evacuating themselves, taking the
emergency equipment from the aeroplane.
Once outside the aeroplane, Crew members remain responsible for the passengers,
until they are relieved by the emergency services or by the authorities.
To ensure passengers safety:
• Flash light
• Megaphone
• Life jacket (if necessary)
• ELT (if available)
CABIN CREW OPERATING MANUAL 10.06
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES P6
The information in this chapter 10.06.3 is valid for both ground evacuation and
ditching.
A planned evacuation can be defined as a situation that enables the cabin crew to
review procedure, and to inform and prepare passengers for an emergency landing
or ditching. The cabin crew provides passengers with brace instructions, guidance on
exit usage, and information on how and when exits should be operated.
In case of a planned emergency, the flight crew would ask the senior cabin crew to
report to the flight crew compartment.
The flight crew members will brief the senior cabin crew face to face in a clear,
precise and concise manner about the:
The senior cabin crew will repeat back the information received in order to confirm
the good understanding.
After returning into the cabin, the senior cabin crew will brief the other(s) cabin crew
member(s) and start the cabin preparation.
CABIN CREW OPERATING MANUAL 10.06
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES P7
Public announcement
When reading the announcement, the cabin crew should speak slowly and distinctly.
Cabin crew will coordinate some of the following demonstrations with the
announcement:
• Exits to use
• Brace positions to adopt
Cabin preparation
After the passenger has been briefed over the PA, cabin crew should ensure that the
cabin is properly secured with:
Additionally, high-heeled shoes and sharp objects must be removed (Ex: false teeth,
eyeglasses, neck ties, pens…) since they may cause injuries during impact and/or
during the evacuation process.
Cabin crew should also remove items such as pens, badges and wing pins from their
uniforms.
CABIN CREW OPERATING MANUAL 10.06
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES P8
An ABP must speak the same language as the crew members and the person must
be mentally and physically capable, since he/she is selected to assist crew or take
over duties in case of crew member’s incapacitation or death.
Otherwise cabin crew should select passengers with the following criteria:
• Travelling alone
• Willing to help
• Understanding instructions
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES P9
Reviewing the brace position during the emergency cabin preparation will help to
ensure that passengers are in the correct brace position for landing.
The brace position must be adapted according to the seat facing forward or
backward, with a safety belt or shoulder harness (crew member seats only).
It must also be adapted if passengers are pregnant, traveling with infants or obese.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES P 10
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES P 11
Passengers and cabin crew must remain in the brace position until the aeroplane
comes to a complete stop. Cabin crew should expect more than one impact.
In case of shortage of time, all efforts should be made to ensure that all stages of
preparation (NITS briefing, cabin and passengers preparation) are still completed
and in the same order.
CABIN CREW OPERATING MANUAL 10.06
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES P 12
• At – 2 min. (approximately 2000 Ft) above ground level the flight crew will
inform the cabin crew members over the PA.
Cabin crew should then secure themselves at their respective station and wait
for the next command.
• At – 30 sec. (approximately 500 Ft) above ground level the flight crew will give
the command over the PA to brace. Cabin crew will therefore take the
appropriate brace position and command passengers to brace.
If the aeroplane landed away from an airport, cabin crew will then apply the survival
procedures relevant to the region.

Preparing the cabin for a ditching is similar to preparing the cabin for a ground
evacuation, except for a few differences:
Crew members should simultaneously don their own life jacket when demonstrating
how to use the life jackets. Importance should be made on the fact that life jacket
should NOT be inflated inside the aeroplane.
There maybe more than one impact on water in a ditching. Cabin crew should
therefore ensure that everyone remains in their “brace” position until the aeroplane
came to a complete stop.
In a ditching situation, it will always be necessary for everyone to evacuate the
aeroplane. Therefore the cabin crew can initiate the evacuation after making sure
that the engines are turned off.
IMPORTANT: The aeroplane position on water will determine the primary choice
of exit.
Before opening the emergency exits, crew should assess the outside conditions.
Given its wings position and design, the ATR aeroplane should on water, lean on
one side or the other. The water level will determine whether the exit is usable or
not. Should too much water penetrate inside the aeroplane after opening an exit it
could be advisable to close back this exit (if possible) and use the opposite one (or
the next one up or down the cabin depending on the situation).
Passengers must be ordered to inflate their life jackets only when exiting the
aeroplane.
CABIN CREW OPERATING MANUAL 10.06
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES P 15
Before leaving the aeroplane, the cabin crew members check the cabin to ensure
that all passengers and crew have evacuated. Cabin crew will remove the assigned
