Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for emergency ventilation of an aircraft cabin (36), comprising controlling a first valve (14) arranged in a first aircraft fuselage area (28), said valve serving as an air outlet valve of an aircraft cabin pressure control system in its normal operation, such that air is supplied from the aircraft environment into the first aircraft fuselage area (28) through the opened first valve (14) and is conducted from the first aircraft fuselage area (28) into the aircraft cabin. A second valve (16), arranged in a second aircraft fuselage area (38) spaced apart from the first aircraft fuselage area (28) along a longitudinal axis (22) of the aircraft (10) and serving as an additional air outlet valve of the aircraft cabin pressure control system in its normal operation, is controlled such that air from the aircraft cabin (36) is conducted into the second aircraft fuselage area (38) and discharged into the aircraft environment through the opened second valve (16). A system for emergency ventilation of the aircraft cabin (36) according to the invention comprises the first and second valves (14, 16) and a control unit, which is designed for controlling the first and second valves (14, 16) in accordance with the procedures for emergency ventilation of the aircraft cabin (36).
