Toilet in the plane

In traveling, it is very important to satisfy your natural needs, so it's important to know where the places are: a place of rest, a food station and, most importantly, a toilet. From the article you will get answers to the questions: is there a toilet in the plane, where it is located, how it works and how to use it.

Where is the toilet in the plane?

The answer to this question is very important, if you will be in flight more than two hours. Different planes have different location and number of booths:

• in Tu-154, A-230 and Boeing-737 airplanes there are three toilets: one is at the entrance to the plane, and two - at the tail;
• in Boeing-767 5 toilets: 1 at the beginning of the business class , two between business and economy classes, two in the middle of the economy class ;
• in Boeing-747 11 toilets: two at the beginning and at the end of the cabin, four in the middle of the cabin, and three toilets on the second deck.

Depending on the year of manufacture, airline and model aircraft, the amount of toilets and their location may vary slightly.

The principle of the toilet in the plane

Experiencing that the emission of human waste is happening here, as in a train, not worth it. In the plane there are special tanks, where the toilet is washed off. For example, in Tu 154 installed tanks for the front toilet volume of 115 liters and for the second - for 280 liters, and in the A-320 only one tank for 170 liters.

In different aircraft there are differences in the principles of work of the toilets:

1. In A-320, water for the toilet is taken from the water supply system of the aircraft. Waste is simply sucked into a special tank with a vacuum.
2. And in airplanes like Tu-154 and Boeing-737, the sewage system is closed and operates in a recirculation mode. The liquid for flushing the toilet is taken from a separate tank, which is refueled before the flight. When the waste is washed off, large particles retain the filter, and the filtered liquid is sent to a repeated circle to flush the toilet bowl. Add chemicals to the tank to disinfect the water and get rid of the smell. After landing the aircraft, all the impurities with the help of the "vacuum system" merge and exported.

How to use the toilet on the plane?

There are a few simple rules:

1. The toilet can not be used during take-off and landing.
2. Before you start using the toilet, you can put paper in it so that it can be washed off well.
3. First, close the lid, and then press the flush button.
4. Pampers and pads are thrown in special urns.
5. Water from the sink leaves when pressing a special button.
6. The toilet door can be opened from the outside with a handle located under the label "LAVATORY".
7. Do not puddle in the toilet.
8. Try to visit the toilet 10 minutes before eating or 15 minutes after, since after eating a large queue is formed in the toilet.
9. Do not use dangerous and smoke-emitting products, do not smoke, this triggers a smoke detection system, you will be fined, taken off the plane and even arrested.

Knowing where is located and how the toilet is arranged in the airplane, you will feel comfortable in flight.
