PREFACE

MSN 0002-0860
Fire and/or smoke in the fuselage present the crew with potentially difficult
situations. Not only will they have to deal with the emergency itself but also the
passengers are likely to panic should they become aware of the situation. It is
essential therefore, that action to control the source of combustion is not delayed.
An immediate diversion should be considered as soon as the smoke is detected.
If the source is not immediately obvious, accessible and extinguishable, it should
be initiated without delay.
SMOKE DETECTION AND PROCEDURE APPLICATION
R
MSN 0002-0860
The smoke will be identified either by an ECAM warning, or by the crew without
any ECAM warning.
If the smoke is detected by the crew, without any ECAM warning, the flight crew
will refer directly to the QRH SMOKE/FUMES/AVNCS SMOKE paper procedure.
If the "AVNCS VENT SMOKE "ECAM warning is activated, the flight crew can
refer directly to the QRH SMOKE/FUMES/AVNCS SMOKE paper procedure, or
apply first the ECAM actions, before entering the QRH. ECAM actions are fully
compatible with paper procedure.
If another ECAM SMOKE warning (e.g. LAVATORY SMOKE) is triggered, the
flight crew must apply the ECAM procedure. If any doubt exists about the smoke
origin, the flight crew will than refer to the QRH SMOKE/FUMES/AVNCS SMOKE
paper procedure
