Inflight Search


PROCEDURES FOR BOMB As a crewmember, you may be asked to participate in a search of the aircraft. This should be a slow, methodical, systems-approach to searching the aircraft. The experts say to look for that which is out of the ordinary.


A bomb may not be the large black ball, with a lighted fuse, marked A C M E or XXX. Bombs can be improvised out of a variety of common materials. They can also be easily hidden in any number of locations in and around the aircraft. Aircraft bombs in history have included explosives in shoes, liquid explosive in liquor bottles, “boom box” radio, calculators, etc.


Inform the passengers what the search will entail and why. Work together as a crew AND include the PAX. Work as a team.


If something out of the norm is discovered:


• Do Not Move or Touch! •


Inspect and memorize its features • Report details to PIC and other ground-based help
