DANGEROUS GOOD / DISPATCHER / O2 / PAX Flashcards
Are human remains allowed on board? What about ashes?
OMA 8.2.2.6 Deceased Passengers
easyJet does not accept human remains for carriage on any routes. The carriage of ashes is permitted, however, provided a copy of the death certificate and the cremation certificate accompanies them. The passenger in possession of the ashes must ensure they are securely packaged in an appropriate container and should include them in their cabin baggage.
Tell me about the carriage of musical instruments, specifically cellos?
CSPM 2.4.9.1 Musical Instruments
Passengers wishing to take larger musical instruments into the cabin must comply with the below:
- Stow in locker – if premium seat purchased (max locker size 30 × 117 × 38 cm), the instrument will be prioritised over large cabin bags if necessary.
- Stow on seat – if ticket purchased for instrument.
Any instrument being stowed on a seat must meet the below requirements:
- Must be in a case and should be pre-boarded.
- Secured in a window seat and not in a restricted seat or seat either side (forward or aft) of an exit row.
- The passenger must sit next to their musical instrument and must secure it to the passenger seat or on the floor of the aircraft immediately in front of a passenger seat with guidance from the cabin crew who will issue an extension seat belt.
- The seat belt (aircraft or extension) must be looped through the carry handle of the instrument.
- The extension seat belt can only be passed around the back of the seat if the seat behind is not occupied by a passenger.
- The instrument must not protrude more than 30 cm above the seat back and must not block oxygen masks from dropping from the PSU.
Cabin crew are responsible for checking that the instrument is secured safely to prevent movement in any direction. If the crew are not satisfied that it is safely and securely stowed it must be offloaded to the hold.
A passenger arrives on a stretcher, can we carry him/her?
OMA 8.2.2.4 Passengers on Stretchers
There is no provision for the carriage of stretchers on easyJet aeroplane.
Which seats are restricted?
CSPM 5.3.1.2 Restricted Seats
Restricted seats are:
- Row 1 A, B, C, D
(On aircraft where there are forward bulkheads at row 1ABC, seats 1A and 1B are not considered as restricted as they do not have direct access to the exit, therefore seats 1C and 1D would be the only restricted seats) - Seats at overwing exit rows
- Last row C, D
Who may NOT sit in restricted seats?
CSPM 2.4.5 Seating Restrictions
The following categories of passengers are among those that are not to be seated in restricted seats:
C – Children and infants under 16 years old (including in car seats and infants on laps)
H – Hearing or sight impairment (substantially blind or deaf to the extent that they might not be able to promptly understand printed or verbal instructions)
I – Inadmissible passengers, deportees, or escorted prisoners
P – Physical or mental disability (obvious disability to the extent that would prevent them from moving quickly or that would prevent them from understanding printed or verbal instructions)
P – Physical size (if because of their size require an extension seatbelt, have difficulty moving quickly or reaching and passing through the adjacent exit)
E – Elderly if frail or sick if frail (if because of their fragility they have difficulty moving quickly)
D – Dogs – Passengers travelling with assistance dogs.
Where would you find a list of dangerous goods, and which can we carry? What if someone turned up on board carrying dangerous goods, what would you do?
Table at OMA 9.1.5.6 Provisions for Dangerous Goods Carried by Passengers or Crew

DURATION: BCF approximately 15 seconds and HAFEX approximately 9-10 seconds
Firearms in the cabin, can you carry them? If so under what circumstances? What about carrying firearms in the cargo hold, what are the limitations?
OMA 9.7.1 Firearms and Explosives:
Handguns, automatic weapons, munitions, ammunitions, (including blank cartridges), pistol caps, fireworks, flares, pyrotechnics, smoke canisters and fire crackers, are not permitted for carriage on easyJet aircraft, with certain exceptions.

Furthermore, there are circumstances in which Police and Personal Protection Officers may carry firearms.
OMA 9.7.2 Carriage of Sporting Weapons and Ammunition:
Sporting weapons and ammunition for such weapons may be carried provided they are stowed in a place on the aircraft which is inaccessible to passengers during flight, i.e. as checked baggage and, in the case of firearms, unloaded.
All passengers intending to travel with firearms or ammunition must ensure they have the required:
Documentation and licences;
Export/import licences; and
Authorisation from local and national authorities.
Please note that some types of firearms are not permitted in certain countries and easyJet is unable to accept firearms for carriage to and within such countries. The passenger is solely responsible for requirements above being correct and up to date for any firearm(s) or ammunition. The passenger must also produce a valid identity document (e.g. passport)
OMA 9.7.3 Munitions of War:
The carriage of any weapons or ammunition falling within this definition can only be shipped with the written permission of the Competent Authority. The suitability of the aircraft must be determined by strict compliance with the requirements of the air navigation order.
The carriage of weapons of war and associated ammunition is not permitted on easyJet aircraft, unless specifically authorised by the Competent Authority.
Do we carry unaccompanied minors? What are the requirements?
Children under 16 years of age cannot travel unless they are accompanied by an adult who is at least 16 years old who will take full responsibility for them.
If a young person is travelling unaccompanied and there is doubt as to their age, crew should ask how old they are to ensure they meet the permitted age to travel alone.
Under no circumstances may another passenger be asked to take responsibility for a child or infant.
If the ground handling Company is unsatisfied with the response the unaccompanied minor and the customer posing as a known individual to the minor will be refused carriage.
How long should cockpit oxygen last?
OMA 8.8.2.1 Flight Crew
Each member of the flight crew on flight deck duty shall have:
- An oxygen mask located within their immediate reach while at their duty station, excluding the portable apparatus; if the aircraft is operating above 25000 ft, the mask shall be of the quick donning type.
- In the event of cabin pressure failure, sufficient oxygen for the entire flight time when the cabin altitude exceeds 10000 ft, subject to a minimum of 2 hours.
- An operator shall ensure that Flight Crew members engaged in performing duties essential to the safe operation of an aircraft in flight use supplemental oxygen continuously after 30 minutes when cabin pressure altitude exceeds 10,000 ft and at all times when the cabin pressure altitude exceeds 13,000 ft.
Crew health, time after general/local anesthetics and alcohol limits?
OMA 6
Anesthetics: within 48 hours following a general anesthetic or 24 hours following any local, including dental, anesthetic.
Alcohol: as a guide, moderation should be regarded as no more than 5 units of alcohol dispersed over the 14 hours preceding the 10-hour ban.
Cockpit Door Surveillance System, can we depart when INOP?
MEL 23-72-01A
May be inop provided door viewer is checked before door opening by one of the crew at a convenient time. Advise crew to make an interphone call requesting entry to the flight deck.
IN-FLIGHT: when a flight crew member must leave the flight deck, a cabin crew member must be present in the flight deck during this time.
Can we carry deportees? Can you deny them?
OM A 8.2.2.8
Deportees: A person who had legally been admitted to a State by its authorities or who had entered a State illegally, and who at some later time is formally ordered by the competent authorities to leave that State.
Inadmissible Passenger (INAD): those who are refused at port of entry and placed back on the next available return flight for various reasons. These passengers have not committed an illegal act and therefore are treated differently to deportees.
The commander retains the right to refuse to carry deportees/INADs where, in their opinion, the safety of the aeroplane, passengers and crew is being put at risk.
What is the effective time of Crew Protective Breathing Equipment (PBE/smoke hood)?
OM A 8.8.5
