Cabin Fire Prevention and Detection
Modern aircraft are designed with fire detection and suppression systems in key areas: cabin, cargo hold, and lavatories. Heat detectors and smoke alarms trigger alerts to flight crews. Crew training includes rapid assessment and use of handheld fire extinguishers rated for different fire classes.
Flight Crew Emergency Checklists
Pilots and cabin crews follow strict checklists for in-flight emergencies. These include declaring an emergency, coordinating with air traffic control, initiating descent to a suitable airport, and preparing for possible evacuation. Decision-making prioritizes passenger and crew safety above all else.
