Emergency Memory Items

Question 0

What are the procedures for a cabin altitude depressurisation or rapid depressurisation? How will you recognise this?

Answer 0

If the cabin altitude warning annunciation lights up, and a configuration warning horn starts, go through the depressurisation checklist.

1. Oxygen masks on and regulators to 100%
2. Establish crew communications
3. Pressurisation mode selector to manual
4. Outflow VALVE switch Hold in CLOSE until outflow valve shows fully closed

…
5. IF cabin altitude is not controllable, turn the PAX signs on.
If the CABIN ALT (the equivalent alt inside the cabin) is expected to exceed 14,000’, turn the Pass oxygen switch on.

Initiate EMERGENCY DESCENT CHECKS
….

6. IF the cabin alt is controllable, continue to manual operation to maintain correct cabin altitude.

When the CABIN ALT is at or below 10,000feet oxygen masks can be removed.

Question 1

What is the emergency descent procedure and how is it recognised?

Answer 1

If the cabin altitude cannot be controlled when the ac is above 14,000, or if a rapid descent is needed due to a decompression etc.

1. PF Announce the emergency descent on the PA system to the cabin crew.
   PM advises ATC and gets the required QNH setting.
2. Passenger seatbelt signs ON
3. WITHOUT DELAY, descend to the lowest safe altitude or 10,000’, whichever is higher. (UK normally 10000’ then)
4. ENGINE START SWITCHES. …CONT
5. Thrust levers (both). …..Reduce thrust to minimum or as needed for anti ice
6. Speedbrake ….FLIGHT DETENT
7. Set target speed to max op mach or v speed.

Consult QRH.

Question 2

What will you do in the event of an APU Fire?

Answer 2

When a fire is detected in the APU, initiate this checklist.

1. APU fire switch… Confirm… Pull, rotate to the stop, and hold for one second.
2. APU switch, off.

Consult QRH

Question 3

What will you do if you get an engine fire, or engine severe damage or separation? What are the symptoms?

Answer 3

Symptoms: engine fire warning, airframe vibrations with abnormal engine indications, engine separation (ask cabin crew)

1. If Autothrottle is engaged, DISENGAGE
2. Thrust lever on affected engine- CONFIRM… …CLOSE.
3. Engine start lever on affected engine- CONFIRM … …CUTOFF
4. Engine fire switch on affected engine- CONFIRM… …PULL
   To ,annually unlock the engine fire switch, press the override and pull.
5. (Follow in fire scenario) IF the engine Fire switch or ENG OVERHEAT light stay illuminated:

Rotate the engine fire switch to the stop and hold for one second.

…
IF after 30secs the engine fire switch or ENG OVERHEAT light stay illuminated:
Rotate the engine fire switch to the other stop and hold for one second.

Question 4

APPROACH CONFIG STALL or stall recovery.

Answer 4

1st
PF: initiate the recovery: 
hold the control column firmly.  
Disconnect the autopilot Autothrottle
Smoothly apply nose down to stop shaker/ buffet.

PM monitors altitude and airspeed, verifies all required actions and calls out any trend towards terrain contact.

2nd. PF continues the recovery, roll wings level, advance thrust levers as needed, retract speedbrakes. DO NOT change gear or flap configuration,
except during liftoff, where If flaps are up call for flaps 1 (to move away from the stall)
PM monitor motions and terrain clearance and carry out flap configs as required.

PF. Complete the recovery, check airspeed and adjust thrust as needed, establish pitch attitude and return to e desired flight path.m reengage the Autothrottle if desired. PM MONITORS!
