  1. Minimum Cabin Crew on board during passenger boarding OPSG Proposals Alex Fisher

  2. Why Regulate? • On stand evacuations are not rare • At least as frequent as ‘in motion’ (CAA UK data) • Causes are many • Refuelling fire • APU fire or smoke • Galley fire • Ground equipment fire • Centre tank fire • ….And don’t assume they are always benign….

  3. Thai International B737 centre tank explosion, Bangkok, 2001 1 fatality Note obstacles impeding exit, catering, baggage trolleys etc

  4. Proposal • OST 04-3 accepted principle, but wanted rule to use risk management principles • Relate reduced numbers of cabin crew to: • Number of floor level exits • OPSG suggestion: One per pair • Number of occupied decks • On each occupied deck • Number of passengers boarded • OPSG suggestion: one per 50 boarded

  5. Mitigation measures • NO refuelling while reduced cabin crew on board • Removes principle cause of serious incidents • Senior cabin crew member to be on board • Clear line of responsibility • Approved procedures for on-stand evacuation • Suggested contents in appendix to the rule
