The operation of all other exits, such as flight deck windows is demonstrated.
The A380-800 is fitted with 10 Type A exits on main deck (MD) and 6 Type A exits on the upper deck (UD).
On the A380-800, there is no difference in operation of the doors (exits) in normal and emergency modes between the UD doors and the MD doors. However due to the integration of the slides into the MD doors 1,2,4 and 5, these doors are slightly heavier than the UD doors and the M3 doors. In terms of cabin crew training, the difference in the weight of the doors will be of most relevance during an emergency evacuation, if there is a failure of the ‘power assist’ system(s).
Consequently, though the training in technical operation for UD and MD doors is identical, it is recommended to perform the training on an A380-800 door identical in weight and force to an MD 1,2,4 or 5 door.
JOEB conclusion: If training is conducted on a representative training device for the A380-800 main deck door (either 1,2,4 or 5), there is no need to conduct training on M3 or the upper deck doors as it complies with JAR-OPS 1.1010 (c) (1). Training in this case is valid for all doors on the A380-800. Compliance with JAR-OPS 1.1010 (c) (2) is achieved by including in the CBT description and demonstration via a video of the operation of the flight deck windows.
Evacuation slide training
Appendix 1 to JAR-OPS 1.1010 – Conversion and Differences training, paragraph (d), states “An operator shall ensure that each cabin crew member descends an evacuation slide from a height representative of the aeroplane main deck sill height” and that “The slide is fitted to an aeroplane or representative training device.”
The JOEB Cabin Crew Subgroup carefully considered the requirements of JAR-OPS 1.1010 in respect of slide training. This currently only requires cabin crew to descend an evacuation slide from a height representative of the aeroplane main deck sill height.
Following a detailed assessment of all parameters involved, and based on the fact that training for the evacuation test was achieved using a main deck slide only (none of the cabin crew completed an upper deck slide descent) the JOEB Cabin Crew subgroup members have come to the conclusion that cabin crew do not have to make a slide descent from the upper deck of the A380-800, as long as they have
