repeat as necessary
PM: “Clear [System]?”
PF: “Clear [System].”
repeat as necessary
PM: “Status?”
PF: “Hold ECAM.”
PM: “Hold ECAM.”
Any checklists, resets, restarts?”
If not
PF: “Continue ECAM”
PM: “Status…..”; “Inop systems…..”; “ECAM actions complete.”
Assess, Decide, Inform

Question 14

Engine Failure after V1

Answer 14

PM: Announce “Engine Failure”; cancel Master Caution
PF: Rotate to 12.5 deg and follow SRS
PM: “Positive Climb”

Once appr flight path est and > 400’ AGL,
PF: “ECAM Actions”
- Thrust levers should be moved by PF
- TLs, Engine Master sw, and FIRE pbs must be confirmed by both pilots
When engine secured
PF: “Stop ECAM” At acceleration altitude, push V/S to level off. (Delay accel for Eng sec, but do not climb above accel alt)
