What if there is a bomb? This is more connected with the crew, since bombs will most often be in the cockpit.
To find a bomb, you first need to connect a search, called a sterile search method. All you need to look for. The crew has specific instructions on how to do this. Usually they start with a search in the galley and toilets, from bottom to top, from left to right. Passengers will be moved as the crew continues to search on the seats, overhead bunkers, etc. If something has not been found in a particular area, this area is now sterile. If a suspicious object is found. DO NOT TOUCH IT. Ask passengers to identify an item. If not specified, the crew should inform the flight crew. But the search does not end here, there may be more items on the plane. Also, be sure to check out the other crew members and their bags.
So, the suspicious object is on board and found!
- Do not touch it.
- Inform other crew and flight crew. Give a detailed description.
- If possible, send / display a digital photo to the flight crew.
- Take passengers away from the object.
- Now here is a big part for the flight crew. They must decide to keep the object in place or move it to a place called “safe place of the bomb / location of the least dangerous bomb”.
Commercial aircraft these days have something called a safe bomb site / location of the least dangerous bomb. This is the place where, if the bomb explodes, it will create the least amount of damage compared to the rest of the aircraft. In this example, we will use the R2 door. This door is completely in the rear, on the right side (facing the flight deck / front).
Preparation of the location of the bomb with the least risk EXAMPLE.
- Disarm slide
- Remove protective equipment. O2 Bottles, fire extinguishers and more. They can become a projectile in the event of an explosion.
- Empty 2 carts and put them on the floor, on the door.
- Put the area on pillows, coats (ask the passengers, they will be more than happy to help avoid detonation. Do this up to the height of the window.
- Place an object on top of this (how to move an object is described below)
- Cover it with plastic to dry it.
- Cover it with a layer of damped material.
- Continue to cover it with soft objects.
- Move passengers forward. People are more likely to be bombed than sitting next to one.
- Move forward, behind the last row of passengers.
Moving an object
This is a difficult, most risky thing for the crew. For pilots or other crew members, make sure that moving objects are not overstressed and mentally capable of that. First slide the card under the object in case it is equipped with an anti-lifting device. Keep the bomb in the same position in which it was found. Do not turn it, do not throw it to someone else. One will carry the object, one will walk in front, and one will walk behind. This prevents any interference from passengers. Move it to the location of the least dangerous bombs, as described above.
Now it's up to the flight crew
Basically, you declare an emergency, squawk 7700, manage call operations, get down as soon as possible to relieve pressure on the plane (this is dominated by detonation in the case of a pressure bomb) and find a suitable place to land. A big airport would be best because they probably have the right means to fight a bomb. But, the earth as soon as possible is a priority.
