MD-80 EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT LOCATION
Emergency Flashlight
The emergency flashlight system is a self-powered, high-intensity, waterproof flashlight. The flashlight does not have an external on-off switch, instead the light turns on automatically when it is removed from its bracket. Since the flashlight is not equipped with a battery charger, a monitoring circuit on the light employs a light-emitting diode for visual indication of battery condition. The led will flash intermittently indicating satisfactory battery power for flashlight operation.
A nylon cord lanyard is coiled in the recess at the endcap of the light. The mounting bracket is designed so that the light, when properly installed, is fully seated in the bracket clip and the flashlight led is visible. The flashlight is deactivated when properly installed and will turn on automatically when removed from the bracket. A plastic shield is installed with the bracket. In case of emergency, the shield is removed by pulling the strap, breaking the perforated tabs, allowing the user access to the light.
Removal /Insertion of Handlight
If a shield is installed, it must first be removed by pulling the red removal strap, breaking the shields away from the bracket. The handlight is removed from the bracket by grasping the handle of the unit and pulling the bottom end of the handlight body firmly out of the retaining clip at the base of the retention bracket.
The handlight is properly returned to the bracket by first orienting the “fins” on the handlight body toward the slotted recesses in the bracket, with the LED facing away from the bracket. The head end of the bottom of the handlight is firmly snapped into the retaining clips on the bottom of the bracket. Failure to properly secure the handlight in the retention bracket will result in depletion of the battery within four hours.
Monitoring Circuit
The electronic monitoring circuit incorporated in the handlight body provides a constant indication of battery pack readiness and lamp integrity through a flashing light-emitting diode (LED) located on the head of the handlight. The LED continues to flash at intervals of 3-6 seconds until the battery pack reaches a cut-off voltage of approximately 6.75 volts or until the lamp filament is broken. Battery pack or lamp replacement is indicated when the LED flash interval increases to beyond 10 seconds or dims to the point that it is not easily detected in ambient light conditions.
Activation
The handlight is turned on automatically when removed from the retention bracket, and turned off automatically when properly returned to the bracket.
Emergency Medical Kit
The emergency medical kit contains equipment for use in the diagnosis and treatment of medical emergencies that might occur during flight. The contents of this kit are of a clinical nature and are to be used by a medical practitioner only.
The kit is located in the cockpit, in a metal case on the bulkhead behind the First Officer. The kit will be sealed in shrink wrap, or the latch on the metal case may be secured with a lead seal. If the seal is broken, the kit must be checked to ensure that it is complete or replaced with a fresh kit and the case resealed. The case will also have the expiration date of the kit attached. This should be checked to ensure that the kit is current.
The emergency medical kits will be supplied with dual quantities of depletable items. This permits the aircraft to continue to a station where the kit can be replaced in the event that it has been necessary to use it.
The kit contains a form to be completed by the medical practitioner who used the emergency medical kit.
