Bulkhead: partitions or walls in the fuselage to make compartments for
different purposes.
Coat compartment: Cupboards in the aircraft, usually placed in the cabin in
different zones like first class and business class passengers for hanging pieces
of clothing like coats.
Jump Seat: These jump seats are normally located near emergency exits so
that flight attendants can quickly open the exit door for an emergency
evacuation. The passenger cabin jump seats usually fold out of the way when
not in use to keep aisles, workspaces, and emergency exits clear.
Slide Raft
Ans The slide raft functions similarly as a slide for an emergency landing on the ground and
adds capabilities for evacuation after a water landing (ditching). The device's mooring
line, which fastens the slide/raft to a point near its exit door, can be cut by occupants

Ans CIDS (Cabin Intercommunication Data System) is the core digital cabin management
system used in all Airbus aircraft. The system controls and displays cabin functions for
passengers and crew. This includes cabin lighting, cockpit/cabin announcements, door
status indication, emergency signals, non-smoking/fasten seatbelt signs, smoke
detectors, cabin temperature, water/waste tank capacity and various other cabin
functions, some of which are safety critical. The system consists of a central computer,
the director, the director interface board, one or more flight attendant panels and a data
network for audio transmission in the cabin.
Passenger Service Unit
Ans
Passenger service unit, particularly in a passenger cabin of an aircraft, comfort and service
elements such as a reading lamp, a flight attendant call button, a loudspeaker, an air
nozzle, an oxygen mask and generator, optical display elements, are integrated into a
service column. Feeder lines between a main supply line and the passenger service
columns are flexible to facilitate the mounting or placement of the columns as a
complement to a passenger seat. The column is positioned in the lateral area of a seat to
which the column is allocated.

Ques 8 (a). Define Decompression? What are the types of Decompression and what is the
procedure to be followed by the Cabin crew to handle during decompression and post
decompression? (DISTINCTION)
Ans
Decompression is defined as the inability of the aircraft's
pressurization system to maintain its designed pressure
schedule. ... The speed of pressure loss is predominantly used to
characterize the decompression process: An explosive
decompression is a change in cabin pressure faster than the lungs
can decompress.
The US Federal Aviation Administration recognizes three distinct
types of
decompression events in aircraft:
i. Explosive decompression.
ii. Rapid decompression.
iii. Gradual decompression.
In the case of decompression, the immediate use of oxygen is critical. Therefore, the first
actions to be performed by the cabin crew are: Immediately don the nearest oxygen mask,
Sit down fasten your seat belt, or grasp a fixed object and Hold on.
8 (b) What are the different cuisines of the world - region wise (European cuisine, East and
South East cuisine, South Asian cuisine, American cuisine and Mexican cuisine) Explain in detail
with dishes? (DISTINCTION)
Ans
There are more than a hundred cuisines in the world and if you want to try some different
cuisine other than your country, then you are welcome to do so as it will enhance your taste
and experience.
1) East and South East cuisine
Chinese, Japanese, Mongolian and Taiwanese Cuisines are collectively known as East
Asian Cuisine. Being one of the most populated regions of the world East Asia has
many regional cuisines. Rice, Noodles, Soybeans, and Seafood are some of the staple East Asian
foods.
2) South Asian cuisine
South Asian cuisine includes the cuisines from the Indian subcontinent. Foods in this
area of the world are flavored with various types of chili, black pepper, cloves, and
other strong herbs and spices and often with flavored butter and ghee. Turmeric and
cumin are often used to make curries.
3) American cuisine
American cuisine is the cooking style and traditional food dishes prepared in the
United States. The European settlement of the Americas introduced a number of
ingredients, spices, herbs, and cooking styles to the continent. American cuisine is very
diverse and has various styles of cuisine.
4) Mexican cuisine
From chilaquiles to empanadas to fajitas, the best Mexican food is tasty, spicy and
oftentimes very easy to prepare. ... Traditional Mexican cuisine typically relies on
indigenous staples like beans, chili peppers, and corn, and you can almost always
expect a decadent sauce on the side, such as mole or pico de gallo.
8 (c) Do a case study of any actual mishap of an air crash. Your concluding statements should
give your own opinion as a result of the research conducted by you. (DISTINCTION)
Ans
AIR CRASH DEFINATION:
The first fatal AIR CRASH occurred in a Wright Model A aircraft at Fort Myer, Virginia,
USA, on September 17, 1908, resulting in injury to the pilot, Orville Wright and death
of the passenger, Thomas Selfridge. An AIR CRASH is also defined there as an
occurrence other than an accident, associated with the operation of an aircraft, which
affects or could affect the safety of operations. An accident in which the damage to
the aircraft is such that it must be written off, or in which the plane is destroyed is
called a hull loss accident.
I LIKE A CASE STUDY ON THIS RESEARCH BECAUSE I WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT
AIR CRASH AND AM DOING IT. I HAVE DONE A CASE STUDY OF AN ACTUAL MISHAP OF
AN AIR CRASH ON 17 SEPTEMBER 1908 AND IT WAS ALSO THE FIRST FATAL ACCIDENT
ON THE AIR IN THE AIRPLANE. WHICH KILLED 1 MAN AND A PILOT WAS INJURED BADLY.
