It has been established that the fumes that entered the cabin pressurisation system were the result of a leaking engine oil seal. She was 25 weeks pregnant and complained of a burning throat, sore eyes, headaches and persistent cough after the incident. Joanne Turner was working for East-West when fumes entered the cabin in the descent at the end of a Sydney-Brisbane flight in 1992. I believe I have a solution and been in contact with Boeing, The French say it's no bigger deal than theater odours and not a problem.Ī/C cabins are a confined space and create body odours, Galley odours, lavortory odours and can suffer engine oil vapours, Straight away pillows which adsorb unwanted vapours could be placed in overhead lockers until vapour filters are fitted to various systems.Īwaiting reply's from manufactures, they showed initial interest.ĬABIN CONTAMINATION DAVID LEARMOUNT LONDONĪustralian court upholds toxic compensationĮast-West loses appeal over flight attendant damages awardĪ flight attendant from the former Australian regional carrier East-West Airlines whose health was damaged by toxic fumes in the cabin of a BAe 146 has had a A$138,800 ($129,000) compensation award upheld by the country's high court, against an appeal by the airline. Monash university should release a report end 2010 from a committee formed 18 months ago as advertised in The Australian which i am awaiting a reply. Most fixed wing A/C have power plants with Labyrinth bearing seals ( no contacting parts ) and give nil problems and work by differential pressure.ĪPU's have carbon friction bearings seals and when worn can contaminate bleed air ducts upstream to engine isolation valves and down stream a/con system.Īnsett introduced monitoring units in the aft overhead locker and changed the engine oil from Mobil jet 11 to 294 less carcinogetic. Their Carbon friction bearing seals can wear and pressure can drop across seals at the top of climb of even good seals allowing some oil fume by pass to a/con system. Like always, if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask below.The Bae 146 Alf engine (Helicopter designed powerplant) was modified to power Bae 146 and incorporated customer bleed air. It also includes a +/- which depicts altitude difference in hundreds of feet relative from your present altitude. There is an arrow which shows the aircraft vertical direction, up or down. The aircraft on the display are marked with a white diamond with a couple of symbols and numbers next to it. TCAS stands for traffic collision avoidance system and it’s main function in Infinite Flight is to show you surrounding aircraft on your Navigation Display. What is TCAS and where can I find it in the cockpit? This takes some more explaining so there is a separate tutorial for this which can be seen below. If you want to taxi with only one engine on a multiple engine aircraft after landing, start the APU first before shutting down any engines to maintain realism.Īlso new to this update, we now have Vertical Navigation, commonly referred to as VNAV, in Infinite Flight.Shut down the APU as soon as the engines start.In real life, the APU is started immediately after the Main Battery is turned ON. Again, it will only start if your battery is on.
