NITS brief

[galleypower]

Hi all, I need some help on how to interpret the TEST emergency briefing.
Most of us know the NITS brief:

N Nature
I ntentions
T ime
S pecials (Security)

Now there is another one: TEST

T ime avilable
E mergency (type)
S ignals conventioned
T ransmit additional instructions

What does 'Signals conventioned' really mean? Is it the same as the 'Intentions' part of the NITS?

Cheerio.

Hi GP,

Are you cabin crew? I've not come across TEST before. We use NITSS in our company...

N - Nature of the problem;
I - Intentions of the FD crew;
T - Time available (before landing/to secure the cabin/etc.);
S - Signals (i.e. will we use anything other than conventioanl signals to the crew?);
S - Special cicumstances (e.g. if we're not going to be able to vacate the runway).

The S bit of TEST sounds the same as the first S in NITSS i.e. will we be using normal, conventional signals to communicate with the crew or will there will different or additional signals e.g. "Cabin crew, take your seats for landing." and "Brace, brace" in the case of a planned emergency landing.

B&S :ok:

P.S. Not sure what you mean by Specials (Security)?

S - Specials. May include information such as:

Possibility of an evacuation after landing,
Emergency or normal landing (brace call?)
Fire truck/paramedic attendance
different approach attitude (will seem a bit unusual)
etc.....

N-nature of the emergency
I- information to passenger & preparation
T-time remaining
S- Signals

hi aviators,
i would like to know onboard fire drills :confused:

[411A]

i would like to know onboard fire drills
Re: possible cabin fires.

Number ONE priority, inform the flight deck crew.
Number two, follow laid down instructions, as amended by said FD crew.

Our Flight Engineer will see to the remaining potential problems.
No Flight Engineer?


Good luck.
