Figures taken from FAA report on “Batteries & Battery-Power Devices Aviation Incidents Involving Smoke, Fire, Extreme Heat or Explosion dated 23 July 2013
Introduction - The Upwards Trend
Berlin, 28-29 October 2014 Lithium Batteries - A Manufacturers Perspective of the Development of Cabin Crew Procedures
• Between March 20 1991 and 23 July 2013 135 Air Incidents involving batteries have been recorded by the FAA
Berlin, 28-29 October 2014 Lithium Batteries - A Manufacturers Perspective of the Development of Cabin Crew Procedures
• 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
Requirement identified for such a procedure for other aircraft programs
Example From August 2009 Revision
2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014
• June – FAA SAFO issued • Aug – A380 CCOM proc for PDA Docking Stn.
• 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
2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014
• Generic CCOM procedures for Lithium Battery Fires issued
• 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.

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
On going : Smoke/Fire coming from a PED being trapped within a seat.

Revised PAX SEAT SMOKE/FIRE PROCEDURE to be introduced by Q1 2015 for all aircraft
Further to some event reported by the operators about PED being trapped within a seat.
