First Steps
• FAA SAFO 09013 “Fighting Fires Caused By Lithium Type Batteries in Portable Electronic Devices” issued in June 2009
On A380 aircraft fitted with Portable Data Assistant (PDA) Charging locations specific procedure introduced from Aug 2009
Example From August 2009 Revision
Requirement identified for such a procedure for other aircraft programs

The Maturing of the Procedure
• From August 2011 a generic “Guidelines on Lithium Battery Fires” was included in Cabin Crew Operating Manual (CCOM) for A320 family, A330/A340 family and A380 aircraft.
• Same instructions also included in the “Getting to Grips” for aircraft without a CCOM Procedure based on SAFO 09013 Halon to extinguish the flame Water to cool down battery and prevent adjacent cell thermal runaway

Cabin Crew Procedural Changes
Request to address Lithium Battery fires in OHSC Two reported events on Airbus Aircraft occurred in OHSC Specific procedure to address fires in “Enclosed Areas”
Airbus New Procedure:
Consider any fire in OHSC is potential Li bat Fire Relocate the passengers and protect crew Extinguish flames and isolate the source Remove and secure the device that has caught fire

Cabin Crew Procedural Changes
• How do we secure a device post Lithium Battery Fire? •
Procedure needed to consider: Universal for all aircraft Easy to embody Space neutral and cost effective….. Standard Container filled with non-alcoholic liquid or water EITHER / OR Lavatory waste bin filled with non-alcoholic liquid or water Receptacle placed in lavatory and surveyed regularly.

Flight Crew Procedures
Not exactly “Cabin Crew” procedures, but…….. ……… dealing with Lithium Battery fires requires a whole team effort!
The Situation Today: Increased use of Lithium Batteries in the flight deck Key concern relates to use of Electronic Flight Bag (EFB)
What procedure do we use if we have an EFB fire in flight deck? Can we use water to cool the fire? What do we do with the device afterwards? Page 18 © AIRBUS S.A.S. All rights reserved.

Development of Flight Crew Procedures
Key Principles and Philosophy
Stand alone to enable it to be easily identified Procedure should initially protect the crew Transfer control (Pilot Flying/Pilot Monitoring)) Isolate the Smoke/Fire source Monitor and control Page 19 © AIRBUS S.A.S. All rights reserved.
