  2. Pull the control handle for horizontal movement, the seat will move aft and outward.
  3. You should read the checklist if requested by the pilot, and should only read the next item on the checklist after a response has been received to the previous one.
  4. You should first slide the seat backwards using the control handle, then unfasten the shoulder harness and lift the pilot out of the seat using the appropriate grip. You should then drag the pilot to the nearest useable emergency exit.
  5. Pull the mask out of the container by squeezing the red release levers. Put it on. The harness will be inflated by the oxygen from the flight deck oxygen system. Release the levers and the oxygen will flow out of the harness.

Cargo shift

Fly High English logo.

Here’s the text to the listening from yesterday.

Enjoy!!

A 737 which was performing a freight flight with 3 crew members, was departing from its airport of origin when there was a shift in the position of its cargo. The crew was able to maintain general control of the aircraft but had some difficulty maintaining level flight. They decided to return to their airport of origin and made a safe landing 25 minutes after taking off. Maintenance reported that there was damage done to the bulk head when the load shifted during takeoff.
