The equipment covered in this section includes all
emergency equipment, except that which forms part of a
complete system. For example, landing gear system,
etc. Chapter 9 describes the operation of emergency
exits and location of all emergency equipment.

2-14. HAND-OPERATED FIRE EXTINGUISHER.
WARNING
Repeated or prolonged exposure to
high
concentrations
of
monobromotrifluoromethane
(CF3Br)
or decomposition products should be
avoided. The liquid shall not be
allowed to come into contact with the
skin, as it may cause frost bite or low
temperature burns because of its very
low boiling point.
One hand-operated fire extinguisher is mounted
below the pilot's seat and a second extinguisher is
located in the left cabin sidewall, aft of the cabin door.
They are of the monobromotrifluoromethane (CF3Br)
type. The extinguisher is charged to a pressure of 150
to 170 PSI and emits a forceful stream. Use an
extinguisher with care within the limited area of the
cabin to avoid severe splashing.
NOTE
Engine fire extinguisher systems are
described in Section III.
2-15. SURVIVAL KITS.
Tie-down provisions for a survival raft and kit are
provided just forward of the toilet on the right side of the
aft cabin area.
