SCOPE This Aerospace Recommended Practice recommends general criteria for the development and installation of an aircraft emergency signal system to permit any crew me
7、mber (flight or cabin) to inform all other crew members that an emergency evacuation situation exists and that an evacuation has been or should be immediately started. 1.1 PURPOSE The purpose of this document is to assure functionality, usability and performance of emergency evacuation signal system
8、s installed on transport category aircraft. NOTE: It is not the purpose of this document to specify the design method, mechanism, or equipment to be used in the accomplishment of the objective set forth herein. 2. REFERENCES 2.1 Applicable Documents The following publications form a part of this doc
9、ument to the extent specified herein. The latest issue of SAE publications shall apply. The applicable issue of other publications shall be the issue in effect on the date of the purchase order.

DETAIL RECOMMENDATI
13、ONS 3.1 Evacuation signal system controls shall be located at each cabin crew members station, near the door operating mechanism, and in the flight deck (see ARP583). 3.2 The system shall contain the following features: 3.2.1 Flashing signal light. 3.2.2 Audible signal.

15、s station near the door. If the actuation switch is integral to the door opening mechanism, it shall be designed not to activate the system if the door is opened from the outside.3.4 Actuation of the system at any station shall automatically actuate the signals at all locations. 3.5 The placarding o
16、f the control switch functions shall be in accordance with ARP577. 3.6 The system should be designed primarily to alert crew members that an emergency evacuation has been or should be immediately started. 3.7 It should be possible to cancel the audible signal at any individual station by a cancel bu
17、tton at that location. The cancel button may also be designed to serve as a test feature. Locally cancelled audible signals shall automatically rearm after the evacuation signal is cancelled. 3.8 The primary evacuation signal control switch shall be located in the flight deck and it shall be accessi
18、ble to the flight crewmembers (captain and first officer) in their seated positions. Regardless of where the system is activated, the system shall automatically rearm itself when the evacuation signal is cancelled using the flight deck controls.3.9 The location of the signal lights should permit the
19、 viewing of the lights in the flight deck and at each cabin crew member station. 3.10 The signal lights should have a raised cover and use an LED, or dual filament bulb to provide visibility at any angle and to reduce probability of an inoperative signal. 3.11 The visible and audible signals should
20、be in accordance with ARP4102/4. The audible signal should be easily distinguishable from any other flight deck signal, cabin warning, or call signal, and should not be alarming to passengers. The audible signal shall not interfere with a crew members ability to communicate with passengers and other
21、 crew members. This may be accomplished by having an intermittent audible signal, an audible signal with a time-out function or by crew member procedure to cancel the audible signal once the emergency evacuation has been initiated (audible signal cancellation means are addressed in section 3.7). 3.1
22、2 The power for the signal system shall be supplied from an aircraft battery or individual emergency batteries to prevent the loss of system function as the result of a malfunction or intentional shut down of the aircrafts primary electrical system.
