Due to size or weight constraints, airline personnel unload thousands of cabin baggage at the aircraft gate every day, as the elevated cabin capacity of the cabin to accommodate the handbag is limited.
Screening should be carried out during passenger inspection-On the check. in staff.
Then put these bags in the cargo compartment of the aircraft.
Millions of passengers carry millions of batteries in their own and/or personal equipment in their cabin luggage.
Guidance on passenger transport of lithium batteries is given at IATA Passenger dangerous cargo corner.
As of December 15, 2018, the FAA recorded 238 aviation/airport incidents involving lithium batteries transported as cargo or baggage since March 20, 1991.
According to the new study, check the individual portable electronic devices included in
Luggage may overheat and catch fire, which is beyond the control of the aircraft Fire Fighting System.
The report, published in the FAA lithium battery Handbook, states that the suppression system cannot extinguish battery fires that are combined with other highly flammable materials, such as gases in aerosol tanks or cosmetics that travelers usually carry.
The FAA test found
Fire-fighting halon gas installed in the airline cargo area will not extinguish a lithium battery fire, but it can prevent the fire from spreading to neighboring materials such as cardboard or clothes.
However, the FAA found that even after bathing halon gas, the aerosol tank exploded during the test.
Lithium-Ion Batteries Included in laptops, mobile phones, battery packs, etc.
Prohibited from carrying during inspectionin baggage.
Interestingly, when collecting oversized handbags from passengers at the boarding point, these batteries unknowingly enter the cargo hold of the aircraft without any screening.
According to the airline's sources, the airline representative asked the passengers if they were carrying any valuables and dangerous items.
If the answer is "yes", then the same request is taken out of the bag and carried with you before putting the bag in the cargo hold.
The biggest difference is that there are strict procedures to detect and remove the battery from the inspection
In luggage using high-tech equipment and scanners after passenger inspection-
However, before boarding, the baggage removed from the gate was screened only by verbal inquiry.
The door placed in the cargo hold collects the probability that the handbag battery will slip through very high.
The greater risk is that the airline does not see this as a risk, and every day the aircraft, crew and passengers are exposed to the risk of a fire on the aircraft.
Airlines enforce cabin baggage weight and size limits during passenger inspection-
At this point, Li-will be eliminated-
Due to human error and negligence, Ion batteries continue to decline in the process of high-tech screening.
