As agreed to at the last CASO Committee meeting, the
Cargo Fire Training Standard is an interim measure until such time
as this material is incorporated into the Flight Attendant Training
Standard, TP 12296.
The revised document applies to the air operator training
programs for flight attendant crew members assigned cargo fire
responsibilities on those aircraft types referred to in the above
referenced FAA AD, operating in a passenger and cargo
configuration (combi).
The Cargo Fire Training Standard takes into account the limited
fire fighting intervention associated with options such as fire
containment covers and halon suppression systems provided for in the
FAA AD, and will permit air operators to develop their training
program on individual operating characteristics.
The air operators affected by the above referenced FAA AD
must be in compliance with the revised document, "Cargo Fire
Training Standard", by November 2, 1996, as per FAA
AD 93-07-15.
These air operators are to incorporate procedures in their Flight
Attendant Manual, in accordance with the Flight Attendant Manual
Standard, Part A, Section 2A.3 (Fire Fighting), and in the
air operator’s Operations Manual.
This Policy Letter cancels Cabin Safety Technical Standard No. 107
(T.S. 107) entitled "Fire Fighting Training - Main
Deck Class B Cargo Compartments (FAA Airworthiness Directive 93-07-15)",
effective immediately. Please destroy Technical Standard 107
upon receipt of this Policy Letter. |
