In case of emergency, I experienced a messy full-fledged emergency escape training received by a flight attendant of a plane at the JAL (Japan Airlines) facility

Assuming a situation such as an emergency landing, the training that an airline cabin crew member receives is "Emergency security training"is. This time I was able to infiltrate the facility of JAL where there is a huge pool or a full-size airplane model and I will report on the details as I was able to cover the details of the training.

Arrived at the equipment building of JAL (Japan Airlines) located near Haneda Airport.


A plate written with JAPAN AIRLINES.


The receptionist is like this.


A poster saying "Do you learn? Greetings, smiles, company chapter".


I moved to another place and came to the emergency rescue training center in Haneda somewhere.


Firefighting training space in the place just in front of the entrance.


It is like a bigger barbecue stove and actually trains fire, we will train to use a fire extinguisher. In addition, the cause of the fire in the training scenario is assumed not only for "cooking utensils in the kitchen" and "tobacco in the toilet" but also cases like "fire is emitted from the battery of the notebook PC" , He seems to be conducting training to respond to various situations.


Mask to protect yourself from smoking when doing fire fighting activities.


Oxygen cylinders are provided on both sides, so that fire can be extinguished even under the condition that smoke is filled in a short time.


In addition, when I actually wear this mask, I noticed comfortable listening firmly to external sounds and human voice and I could see the surrounding situation properly. To prevent the smoke from penetrating, the neck is made of stretchy rubbery material and has a slightly tightened feel, but it is comfortable to spend without being stuffy.

Exhibits such as first aid kit and survival equipment that were at the side of the aisle.



A marker for rescue signal which was put in addition to food, water, bandage, etc. It is used to increase the visibility from the rescue team in the sky by coloring the water by boating from the boat to the sea.


Dedicated parts to close the hole opened in the lifeboat. It is possible to plug in a small hole easily by pushing it into the rift and tightening the screw.


It's like this when repair is over.


◆Exercise training with a shooter

A model of an airplane made just like the real thing in a building that made the school gymnasium many times larger.


From the center of the aircraft there is a slide (shooter) that inflates with the air used to escape in case of emergency. Furthermore, it is said that all the cabin attendants have received training and examination not only at the time of new employee training, but also once every year, and it is a strict rule that it can not participate in business from the next day if it can not pass Thing.


Looking at the shooter from directly below is like this.


Backside.


It seems that it seems to be made of quite thick material when I touch it, and it feels like a rough texture, it seems that it will not be torn by a little or gentle thing.


The posture when escaping with a shooter from within the aircraft is as follows. Both hands stretch forward, toes are located directly above, hands make fist. At this point it is a point to be in a slightly forward tilted posture and if it is not like this and falls behind it will fall to the ground from the waist when leaving the shooter and the risk of injury will increase .


Actual sliding is as follows.


Shashi.


When arriving at the ground, the assistant person who was waiting will prevent you from holding with your arms. This role seems to be done by passengers sitting in the vicinity of the emergency exit, so in case of emergency please support people who escape with images like this picture.


If it gets up, I will leave the plane promptly so that it will not interfere with the follower.


The stairs to enter the training aircraft is like this.


The interior is made just like a real plane.


Panel that performs operations to reproduce emergency condition.


It is possible to change the setting according to the type of aircraft assumed in training.


It is this person who shows the evacuation guidance demonstration.


This scenario is that trouble will occur during takeoff run and will escape outside the machine. The front screen shows the state of the runway just before takeoff.


In the scene assuming an emergency situation the lighting in the aircraft is dropped and the red emergency lamp is lit. Although it is in such a situation that it will be exciting even if you know that you are training at the actual site, cabin crew are undergoing thorough training so that passengers can be properly guided even under such a tense situation And that. We will conduct guidance while calling passengers in Japanese and English "OK, be calm. Stay Calm."


Looking at the escape shooter from inside the aircraft is like this.


When it gets down, it reaches the ground instantly.


Because it was a demonstration for the press this time, I started off from sitting on the shooter, but when I actually evacuate I will escape from the walking state jumping on the shooter as it is.

When you arrive at the exit ... ....


Jump.


I will descend from the butt to the shooter and slide as it is.


In fact, when I tried evacuation by this method, I found that it is possible to escape more quickly with the momentum coming in than sitting. However, if you think too much of yourself as if you are thinking "You will fly, flying!" It is more dangerous when you get over the speed than necessary, so it is dangerous when you reach the ground so that you can throw "Pyon" and both feet forward with a light jump to skip It is possible to slide down quickly and at a safe speed.

◆When evacuating to the sea

If you can not land normally for some reason, take the following shock attitude like the one below.

If the seat is in front, cross your hands in front of the forehead, lower your head and step on both feet OK.


If there are no seats in front, lower your head and grasp the ankle with both hands.


The shooter is supposed to inflate with gas, so if you get on the water you can use it as a lifeboat.


It is like this when separating from the aircraft. In addition, water of about 400 square meters pool under the boat is stretched to a maximum of 1.6 m deep, and depending on the content of the training, cabin crew members may actually jump into the water.


The boat is equipped with a rope with a loop at the tip so that you can throw it toward the person who fell to the sea and rescue it or tie the boat and the boat so that they are not separated.


After use it is fried on the pool side and reused.


In addition, I was able to wear a life vest and inflate this time.


When I tried it actually, if I generate gas and inflate the vest, it will become bread in a moment so that enough buoyancy enough to sink will be obtained even if there is considerable weight. However, if you let it inflate before going out of the machine, you will not be able to see even your feet, so be careful. Let's be sure to inflate the life vest after it goes outside the aircraft.

So, the airline company carries out thorough safety measures in order not to escape from the airplane in the first place, but in the unlikely event that the place where I went down was a place without a sea or a ramp Even if there were equipment, we had all the equipment we could evacuate and we were able to catch a glimpse of the fact that the cabin crew are thoroughly trained to guide passengers safely.
