Fire Extinguishers
Two portable hand-held fire extinguishers are installed in the
airplane. One extinguisher is located in the cockpit under the
copilot’s seat. The other extinguisher is located behind the left
hand aft passengers seat and is accessible to all the
passengers.
The portable fire extinguishers are pressurized
bottles containing a Halon Type 1211
extinguishing agent. The bottles have an
actuating valve operated by hand and the
extinguishers are rated for Class B and C fires.
To operate fire extinguisher:
1. Hold upright and pull out the locking pin on the operating lever.
2. Stand back six (6) feet.
3. Aim at the base of the fire, not at the smoke or flame, and squeeze lever.
4. Sweep fire extinguisher side to side.
First Aid Kit
A first aid kit is included as loose equipment and
is provided for minor emergencies.
Note: The First Aid Kit may be stored in many
locations in the airplane. Consult with
aircraft crew to determine location.
Emergency Locator Transmitter
The emergency locator transmitter (ELT) unit is located in the aft tail cone equipment.
The unit is self-contained and battery powered. An indicator light provides a visual
indication of ELT operation. A switch mounted in the unit and a cockpit switch provides
control of the ELT. The ELT cockpit switch panel is located on the aft, upper end of the
left circuit breaker panel. An inertia switch located within the ELT unit automatically
activates the ELT unit. Should an accident occur, the ELT unit would automatically
transmit alert tones on the international distress frequencies of 121.5, 243 and 406
MHz. These frequencies are monitored by government monitoring stations, military,
CAA, FAA and Coast Guard aircraft. The unit’s internal battery allows transmission of
the emergency signal for at least 50 hours. A flashing indicator light on the ELT unit
adjacent to the connectors indicates ELT unit operation. In the cockpit, a flashing
indicator light and an aural signal also indicate operation. A reset switch, located in
the cockpit, is used to stop ELT transmissions by electronically resetting the G switch,
should the ELT be inadvertently triggered following a hard landing, sudden stop, or
other reason. Refer to the Maintenance Manual of your aircraft for more information
on the ELT.
Copilot’s Seat
Flashlights
