• the applicable requirements for the occupation of seats and wearing of restraints ; and 
• the location and means for opening the passenger entry doors and emergency exits; and  
• the location of survival and emergency equipment for passenger use; and 
• the use of flotation equipment if required for a flight over water; and

34.66.4 Explain the basic steps in post-crash survivor management.

Post Crash Survival

• Assess the accident site for hazards e.g. fire, smoke, fuel 
• Attend to passengers & crew 
• Ensure locator beacons are operating. 
• Remain with the A/C, unless it is unsafe to do so 
• Attempt to call for help by phone. It is unwise to turn on A/C electrics due to the risk of fire.
