10.Dangerous Goods10.1GeneralDangerous goods are articles or substances which are capable of posing a significant risk to health, safety, property or environment when transported by air and which are classified according to the table 3.1 of the ICAO Technical Instructions or Table 4.2 of the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations. 10.1.1Operator’s Policy[Operator’s name] shall not transport declared dangerous goods. 10.1.2Acceptance handling and stowage of dangerous goods in excepted quantitiesSee IATA Table 2.3A ‘Provisions for dangerous goods carried by passengers or crew’. 10.1.2.1DG in operator’s propertySome dangerous goods are part of property or equipment of the operator during flight operations. This includes: Aircraft equipment - which may be otherwise classified as dangerous goods, but are required to be on board the flight fulfilling airworthiness and operating regulations, or ones that are authorised by the state of the operator to meet special requirements. Consumer goods - aerosols, alcoholic beverages, perfumes, colognes, safety matches and liquefied gas lighters carried aboard an aircraft by the operator for use in-flight service. 10.1.3Emergency situations involving dangerous goods10.1.3.1General considerationsIn the event of an incident or accident involving dangerous goods, the following general considerations may be taken into account (if time and situation permits): Fire or smoke removal emergency procedures to be carried out: Using the appropriate smoke removal emergency procedures may reduce the concentration of any contamination and help to avoid recirculation of contaminated air. Reducing altitude will reduce the rate of vaporization of liquid and may reduce the rate of leakage (but it may increase the rate of burning). Rate of ventilation: Survival chances are greatly enhanced by ensuring maximum cabin ventilation. No smoking on: A smoking ban must be introduced when fumes or vapours are present. 10.1.3.2Checklist for dangerous goods incidentsAs a result of the general considerations the following checklists are regarded as suitable for help in case of incidents/accidents involving dangerous goods: 10.1.3.2.1Flight CrewDoors closed/during flight Follow the appropriate airplane emergency procedures for fire or smoke removal No smoking on-board Consider landing as soon as possible Consider turning off non-essential electrical power Determine source of smoke/fumes/fire After landing Disembark passengers and crew before opening any cargo compartment doors. The compartment doors should only be opened with the emergency service in attendance. Inform ground personnel/emergency services of nature of item and where stowed. Make appropriate entry in the airplane technical log. Make sure that any leakage or spillage of dangerous goods has not damaged or contaminated the airplane structure or systems. Remove any contamination which occurred. 10.2Weapons and ammunition10.2.1GeneralIATA Resolution 745a governs the acceptance of firearms, ammunition and other weapons, whereas the ICAO deals with the DG ammunition in the TI and in Annex 17 with the weapons. Weapons and ammunition must be transported as checked baggage and/or stowed in the airplane in a place that is inaccessible to passengers during flight. 10.2.2Notification to the PICThe PIC must be informed before the flight of the details regarding weapons or ammunition intended to be carried on board, including its location. Transportation of armed security personnel is authorised, however, to ensure safety the PIC must be informed and supervise airport screening. The PIC will ensure that, while on board the aircraft, the weapon remains safe with the ammunition removed. The weapon will remain stored in the galley until landing with the ammunition separated from the weapon. 10.2.3Sporting weapons10.2.3.1PolicySporting rifles/shotguns, hunting rifles, sporting pistols/revolvers may only be transported in the checked baggage, provided that firearms are unloaded and suitably packed. 10.2.3.2PackingHunting or sporting rifles must be suitably packed in containers made of wood, metal, fibre, styropor etc. With the approval of the operator it is allowed to transport, as checked baggage only, securely packaged cartridges (UN 0012 or UN 0014 only), in Division 1.4S, in quantities not exceeding 5 kg gross weight per person for that person's own use, excluding ammunition with explosive or incendiary projectiles. The cartridges must be packed (as laid down in the ICAO TI) in a strong outer container and inside be protected against shock and secured against movement, so that it cannot function accidentally. 10.2.3.3Crew RegulationFlight personnel are not allowed to carry private weapons while on duty. 11.Security11.1Flight Crew Compartment SecurityWhere no aircraft operated by [Operator’s name] is equipped with a crew flight compartment door, no provisions apply. 12.Occurrence handling and reporting(Ref. Reg. (EU) No 376/2014 on occurrence reporting and (EU) No 965/2012 on air operations, ORO.GEN.160) [Operator’s name] reports to the CAA all occurrences defined in AMC 20-8, as well as the volcanic ash clouds encountered during flight. Refer to the requirements of the competent authority of [the Operator]. The objectives of the occurrence reporting scheme are to: Enable an assessment of the safety implications for each incident or accident, including previous occurrences of a similar nature so that any necessary action can be initiated; and Ensure that knowledge of relevant incidents and accidents are effectively distributed, so that others may learn from these.
