CRJ Smoke in the cabin question?

[dueguard1]

In the CRJ...If smoke fills the cabin for some odd reason will I
increase diff-increase cabin
or
decrease diff-increase cabin?

Put on the PBE and run the QRH checklist.

No change in cabin pressure differential. We evacuated with no problem. It ended up being a case of dirty O2 canisters, so when the masks deployed and got hot (chemical generators heat up a lot) the dirt and dust started smoking.

Who gets the pbe? Isn't there only 1?

Yea we put on our O2masks and smoke goggles. The PBE is for fighting a fire.

Who's the FFDO?

To answer your question, raising the cabin alt will open the outflow valve to help with smoke. Sounds like you had a different problem.

In your next checkride, put on the PBE when you get a smoke emergency.

My roomate flies the ERJ-145 for CHQ. He told me this story:

On a CHQ flight a man was having a heart attack. The flight attendant (probably straight out of a Taco Bell in Gary, IN) layed the man in the isle (probably on his side) and put a PBE on his head, and then activated it. This insead of giving him oxygen.

I never thought it was that funny, until I got hired on at a regional. In ground school we had to put a PBE on and fight a small fire.

That is pretty funny. She is lucky she didn't kill him.

Haven't laughed that hard in a while...thanks for the story about the FA. I think I just woke up the people in the room next to me!

 

[Stifler's Mom]

Did she put a life vest on him too?
