Safety Instructions for Sight-Impaired Passengers

2014-04-14
CURRENT
ARP5446A
These recommendations are provided to aid the international air transport industry by identifying a standard, minimum amount of safety instructions that should be given to sight-impaired passengers. This document is not meant to address problems associated with communicating safety information to sight-impaired passengers who are also hearing impaired or non-conversant in the language(s) used by the cabin crew to disseminate general safety information to passengers. Aircraft operators are encouraged to customize the safety instructions for their own operations in order to ensure that required safety information is provided to sight-impaired passengers.

HISTORICAL
ARP4771
This document contains information that can be used by the air transportation industry to provide passengers with consistent "Brace for Impact" positions in passenger safety information and briefings. This information is intended to reduce the potential confusion passengers may experience upon being presented with different "Brace for Impact" positions as they travel on different aircraft or on different carriers. This document does not address child restraint or situations where adult passengers are seated behind fixed tables.

AIR4771
This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) contains information that can be used by the air transportation industry to provide passengers in forward facing seats, using lap belt restraints only, with consistent “brace for impact” positions. This information is intended to reduce the potential confusion passengers may experience upon being presented with different “brace for impact” positions as they travel on different aircraft or on different carriers. This document does not address child restraint, situations where adult passengers are seated behind fixed tables, or who are using upper-torso restraint, or where passengers are not seated in forward facing seats.
