1. The document discusses emergency response procedures for dangerous goods incidents on aircraft. It outlines the information that must be provided to pilots regarding dangerous cargo and emergency procedures. 2. It describes the different classes of cargo compartments on aircraft and emergency equipment located on board. Checklists are provided for pilots and cabin crew to follow in case of a dangerous goods fire, spill, or leakage in the passenger cabin or cargo areas. 3. An emergency response chart is presented listing different drill codes corresponding to the risks of various dangerous goods and outlining spill and firefighting procedures for each.

7. Class AClass A
• Cargo compartment normally comprises
the entire main deck compartment of a
cargo aircraft.
M. Tayfour 7

8. Class BClass B
• Much larger than a Class A cargo
compartment and can be located in an
area remote from the flight deck. Found
on “combi” aircraft between the flight deck
and the passenger cabin or behind the
passenger cabin at the rear of the aircraft.
M. Tayfour 8

10. M. Tayfour 10

11. Class CClass C
• Cargo compartments are to be found under the
passenger cabin floor on most jet transport
aircraft. Instead of being equipped with fire
detection and extinguishing systems, these
cargo compartments are designed to control a
fire by severely restricting the supply of oxygen.
However, it must be appreciated that certain
dangerous goods are themselves oxygen
producers. Therefore, it cannot be assumed that
a fire in this cargo compartment will necessarily
self-extinguish.
M. Tayfour 11

12. M. Tayfour 12

13. Class DClass D
• Small cargo compartments that may be located
between the flight deck and the passenger cabin
or adjacent to the galley area or at the back of
the aircraft
M. Tayfour 13

14. Class EClass E
• Larger than Class A or B and such cargo
compartments are generally found under the
floor in wide-bodied aircraft. May have two fire
extinguishing systems, enabling a second
charge of extinguishing to be fired into the cargo
compartment some time after the fire has initially
been controlled by the first charge.
