SPYDER EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT REVIEW

Emergency Exit Lights: (1.41.3, p 1-1070)

Batteries require 16 hours to charge; provide only 45 minutes of power

Batteries charging anytime power is on airplane and EMERG EXIT switch is in ARM or DISARM position

With switch in ARM position, aircraft electrical power failure or sudden deceleration causes lights to come on

Lights can be illuminated for portable use by pulling out red release handle; light is turned off by stowing the handle

12 Total

Protective Breathing Equipment (PBE): (1.41.12, p 1-1072)

8 PBEs on airplane

PBE is a 15 minute, self-contained breathing unit; max operating altitude 41K

Check litmus paper color; blue = OK, PINK = bad

Airflow noise indicates normal operation

Emergency Passenger Oxygen System (EPOS) (1.41.13, p 1-1073 & Figure 3-7, p 3-75)

88 EPOS on airplane

5-60 minutes self-contained breathing unit

Max operating altitude is 41K

Airflow noise within hood is normal; remove hood when it collapses

Escape Slide Deployment: (Figure 3-8, p 3-46)

If slide case does not split and deploy normally, grasp both cables attached to the girt bar and pull sharply

If slide split but fails to inflate, grasp red metal T-Bar marked "Pull" and pull until inflation commences

If slide still fails to inflate, pull slide red half-tie release handle to allow end of slide to fall to ground

Winds in excess of 13 Knots or running engines can cause slide to position itself at unsafe angles to the fuselage (Figure 3-8, Sheet 2)

Life Raft - to automatically deploy the raft: (Figure 3-19, p 3-184)

Pull the escape ladder down and remove #2 escape hatch

Pull the automatic ejection handle (case rises to hatch opening)

Pull out the life raft case hold-down pin and push the container outboard

Should the case fail to split or inflate, pull the D-ring located on the top of the case stowage platform

Life Raft - to manually deploy the raft: (Figure 3-19, p 3-184)

Try automatic deployment FIRST

Then try manual thru hatch #2; if not working then service door #5

Pull the automatic ejection handle to ensure downlock pin is disengaged and hoisting mechanism is unlocked

Pull then relax tension on manual ejection handle until raft case is hoisted into position

Pull the raft case hold-down pin out and push case outboard

Should the case fail to split or inflate, pull the D-ring located on the top of the case stowage platform
