Destructions of separate designs of an airplane, failure of engines, violation of activity of control systems, power supplies, communication, a piloting, lack of fuel, faults in life-support of crew and passengers result in heavy consequences. For today the most dangerous and frequently meeting tragedy onboard an airplane are the fire and explosion. Saving and emergency activities can be divided into two kinds: the first - spent by members of the crew, the second - organized by ground services. The crew for acceptance of measures, as a rule, does not have time. All occurs extremely rapidly. The crew applies the signal disasters and is touched down at the nearest airport. Before the landing all entrance doors and hatches are opened, passes to them are released. As soon as the airplane has stopped, the immediate evacuation of people on safe distance is organized. Damaged people immediately get a first medical aid. The captain supervises all activities. His orders are obligatory both for crew, and for all passengers. |
