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 in aviation refers to a sudden reduction in the pressure of the air inside an
aircraft. This can occur when there is a breach in the aircraft's structure, such as a window or
door, causing the cabin pressure to drop rapidly. The air at high altitudes is thin, and if the cabin
pressure decreases, it can lead to hypoxia (lack of oxygen) for passengers and crew.

Types of Decompression:

1. Rapid Decompression:
 Occurs suddenly, causing an abrupt drop in cabin pressure. This can happen due
to a structural failure, like a window or door opening unexpectedly.
2. Gradual Decompression:
 Occurs more slowly and is often the result of a small, slow leak in the aircraft's
structure. It gives the crew more time to address the issue.

Procedure for Cabin Crew During Decompression:

1. Don Oxygen Masks

 2. Seat Belt Sign and PA Announcement

3. Secure Loose Items

4. Assist Passengers

5. Check for Injuries

Procedure for Cabin Crew Post Decompression:

1. Secure the Cabin

2. Coordinate with the Flight Crew

3. Medical Attention

4. Passenger Reassurance

5. Documentation and Reporting
