JOEB conclusion: Four first aid kits are required for each deck of the A380-800.
Emergency Medical Kit - JAR-OPS 1.755
JAR-OPS 1.755 states: “An operator shall not operate an aeroplane with a maximum approved passenger seating configuration of more than 30 seats unless it is equipped with an emergency medical kit if any point on the planned route is more than 60 minutes flying time (at normal cruising speed) from an aerodrome at which qualified medical assistance could be expected to be available.”
The JAR-OPS 1 requirement is for only one emergency medical kit for aeroplanes above 30 passenger seats, irrespective of aeroplane size. Given the significantly larger number of passengers being carried on two separate decks of the A380-800, it was considered that only one emergency medical would not be sufficient.
JOEB conclusion: One emergency medical kit is required for each deck of the A380-
800.

Hand fire extinguishers - JAR-OPS 1.790
JAR-OPS 1.790 states: “At least the following numbers of hand fire extinguishers must be conveniently located in the passengers compartment(s):
Maximum approved passenger seating configuration Number of extinguishers
7 to 30 1
31 to 60 2
61 t0 200 3
201 to 300 4
301 to 400 5
401 to 500 6
501 to 600 7
601 or more 8
Note: In this respect the main deck and the upper deck of the A380 are both considered main decks.
The JAR-OPS 1 requirement only goes up to 601 or more passenger seats, and is based on the maximum approved passenger seating configuration. This requires 8 hand fire extinguishers for 601 or more passenger seats. The numbers in the table could be extended on the current criteria, ie 801 or more = 10 hand fire extinguishers.
Alternatively, the requirement could be related to each deck individually, ie: Main deck = 583 passengers = 7 extinguishers and upper deck = 315 passengers = 5 extinguishers.
Other compartments such as crew rest areas will be addressed separately.
JOEB conclusion: Seven hand fire extinguishers are required for the main deck of the A380-800 and 5 hand fire extinguishers are required for the upper deck.
Crash axes and crowbars – JAR-OPS 1.795
JAR-OPS 1.795 states: “An operator shall not operate an aeroplane with a maximum certificated take-off mass exceeding 5700 kg or having a maximum approved passenger seating configuration of more than 9 seats unless it is equipped with at least one crash axe or crowbar located on the flight deck. If the maximum approved passenger seating configuration is more than 200 an additional crash axe or crowbar must be carried and located in or near the most rearward galley area.”
