Air Cabin

What Equipment Is Inside An Air Cabin?

Inside an aircraft cabin, there is lots of equipment to keep passengers safe, comfortable, and well looked after. On the Kirklees College Cabin Crew course, students learn how to use this equipment just like real cabin crew.

The most important equipment is for safety. Every seat has a seatbelt to keep passengers secure during take-off, landing, and turbulence. There are oxygen masks that drop down if there is a problem with air pressure, and life jackets under the seats in case of an emergency landing on water.

There is also emergency equipment such as fire extinguishers, first aid kits, and clearly marked emergency exits so passengers can leave the plane quickly if needed.

For service, there is a galley, which is like a small kitchen where cabin crew prepare food and drinks. They use trolleys to serve passengers during the flight.

Other equipment includes overhead lockers for bags, lights, and call buttons so passengers can ask for help. Cabin crew also have jump seats, which they use during take-off and landing.

At Kirklees College, students practise using this equipment in a realistic mock aircraft cabin, helping them feel confident and ready for a real job.
