“Maximum ventilation” means perform ‘’SMOKE EVACUATION’’ procedure
Embraer QRH.
“Minimum electrics” means – ‘’CABIN PC POWER’’ pushbutton -PUSH OUT,

FIRE EXTINGUISHERS
The most common fire extinguishers found on aircraft are those which have
halon (BCF), dry agent, carbon dioxide (CO2) or water as the firefighting
agent. All of these types may not be present on any one aircraft. Guidance on
the use of the fire extinguishers is contained in the operations manual and
may also appear on the extinguishers themselves. The emergency response
drills, described in Section 4, indicate which firefighting agents should be used
and the instances where the use of water is considered dangerous.
OXYGEN EQUIPMENT
Fixed and portable oxygen equipment is provided in pressurized aircraft
for the use of the crew and passengers. The equipment available to the
flight crew usually has a gas-tight mask and can supply 100 per cent
oxygen. The aircraft may carry portable smoke hoods but, in general, the
equipment available to the cabin crew consists of portable oxygen bottles
fitted with therapeutic masks. Additional passenger drop-out masks may
be available for use by cabin crew in the passenger cabin and galley/toilet
areas.
Which documents are available for
transport of Dangerous Goods
• Ground service provides (NOTOC + Location +
Code ERG)
• Captain signed four copies: 1 - station
departure, 1-for Captain, 1- extra copy, 1- for
arrival station.
• Captain must keep NOTOC in Flight Deck and
be aware about Dangerous Goods.
AMPLIFIED CHECKLIST FOR DANGEROUS GOODS INCIDENTS
IN FLIGHT
1. FOLLOW THE APPROPRIATE AIRCRAFT EMERGENCY PROCEDURES FOR
FIRE OR SMOKE REMOVAL
• Use appropriate checklist from QRH
2. NO SMOKING SIGN ON
• A smoking ban should be introduced when fumes or vapors are present
and be continued for the remainder of the flight.
3. CONSIDER LANDING AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
• Because of the difficulties and possibly disastrous consequences of any
dangerous goods incident, consideration should be given to landing as
soon as possible.
• The decision to land at the nearest suitable airport should be made early
rather than late, when an incident may have developed to a very critical
point, severely restricting operational flexibility.
AMPLIFIED CHECKLIST FOR DANGEROUS GOODS INCIDENTS
4. CONSIDER TURNING OFF NON-ESSENTIAL ELECTRICAL POWER
As the incident may be caused by electrical problems or as electrical systems
may be affected by any incident and particularly as fire-fighting activities, etc.,
may damage electric systems, turn off all non-essential electrical items. Retain
power only to those instruments, systems and controls necessary for the
continued safety of the aircraft. Do not restore power until it is positively safe to
do so.
The decision to land at the nearest suitable airport should be made early rather
than late, when an incident may have developed to a very critical point, severely
restricting operational flexibility
5. DETERMINE SOURCE OF SMOKE I FUMES I FIRE
The source of any smoke I fumes I fire may be difficult to determine. Effective
fire-fighting or containment procedures can best be accomplished when the
source of the incident is identified.
AMPLIFIED CHECKLIST FOR DANGEROUS GOODS INCIDENTS
6. FOR DANGEROUS GOODS INCIDENTS IN THE PASSENGER CABIN, SEE CABIN
CREW CHECKLIST AND COORDINATE COCKPIT
• CREW/CABIN CREW ACTIONS
• Incidents in the passenger cabin should be dealt with by the cabin crew using
the appropriate checklist and procedures. It is essential that the cabin crew
and the flight crew coordinate their actions and that each be kept fully
informed of the other's actions and intentions.
7. DETERMINE EMERGENCY RESPONSE DRILL CODE
• When the item has been identified, the corresponding entry on the pilot-incommand's dangerous goods notification form should be found. The
applicable emergency response drill code may be given on the notification
form, or if not given, it can be found by noting the proper shipping name or
the UN number on the notification form and using the alphabetical or
numerical list of dangerous goods.
8. IF THE SITUATION PERMITS, NOTIFY ATC OF THE DANGEROUS GOODS BEING
CARRIED
AFTER LANDING
IDENTIFY TO GROUND PERSONNEL DANGEROUS GOODS ITEM AND WHERE
STOWED
Upon arrival, take the necessary steps to identify to the ground staff where
the item is stowed. Pass on all information about the item.
Remind ATC to park the aircraft on a remote stand.
MAKE APPROPRIATE ENTRY IN MAINTENANCE LOG
Make an entry in the aircraft maintenance log so that proper maintenance
action is undertaken and that the emergency response kit or any aircraft
equipment used is replenished or replaced when appropriate.
IN CASE OF FIRE
USE STANDARD PROCEDURE / CHECK USE OF WATER
 Standard emergency procedures must be used to deal with any fire.
In general, water should not be used.
 On a spillage or when fumes are present since it may spread the
spillage or increase the rate of fuming.
 Consideration should also be given to the possible presence of
electrical components when using water extinguishers.
Electronic Cigarettes
Electronic, simulated smoking materials (cigarettes. pipes. cigars)
should be prohibited from use by both passengers and crew at all times.
They can however be accepted on board in the passengers carry-on
baggage, for passenger use at destination provided that they remain
stowed at all times and unused.
How Lithium Batteries can be shipped
1. As a Class 9, fully regulated by the IATA Dangerous;
– The Lithium Metal Batteries, UN 3090 and UN 3480 (spare batteries) are
FORBIDDEN for transportation onboard of PASSENGER AIRCRAFT,
therefore, onboard of ALL AIR ASTANA aircraft!
• The shipment of all other Lithium Batteries, such as:
– Lithium Metal Batteries contained in equipment (UN 3091);
– Lithium Metal Batteries packed with equipment (UN 3091);
– Lithium Ion Batteries contained in equipment (UN 3481),
– Lithium Ion Batteries packed with equipment (UN 3481),
must be prepared in accordance with all relevant requirement of the IATA DGR.
How Lithium Batteries can be shipped
2. As an “excepted” lithium battery shipment
– "Excepted" means, that shipment of such types of Lithium
Ion or Lithium Metal batteries are not classified as Class 9.
– NOTOC is NOT REQUIRED to be prepared But, as an option,
for informative purpose Cargo Handling Provider may do
entry in NOTOC - the box “Other special loads”.
