The crew routines and previous fire incidents were determined. The survey shows that many crew members have not experienced fire on board and that in many cases they start a manual intervention later than as prescribed in the regulations. Interviews and survey show that the crew is sceptical towards the planned changes but that information could change this. This work has contributed to the design and... (More)
