Abnormal Procedures (Unofficial Mem Items, ECAM Etc)

Question 1

Enging Failure in Cruise:

Answer 1

PROCEDURE
As soon as the engine failure is recognized, the PF simultaneously:
‐ Sets all thrust levers to MCT
‐ Disconnects A/THR.

In cruise, the PF:
‐ Sets a HDG as appropriate and pulls
‐ Determines the engine out recovery altitude.

When ready for descent, the PF:
‐ Sets the SPEED and pulls (300kt/0.78M unltill less than 500ft/min, then set VS to -500ft/min and A/THR on)
‐ Sets the engine out recovery altitude and pulls to engage for OPEN DES.

When appropriate, the PF requires the ECAM/OEB actions.

At high flight levels, close to the weight limits, the aircraft speed quickly reduces. Thus, the flight crew should not delay to descent. The crew must not decelerate below green dot. The A/THR is disconnected to avoid any engine thrust reduction when selecting speed according to strategy or when pulling for OPEN DES to initiate the descent. With the A/THR disconnected,
the target speed is controlled by the elevator when in OPEN DES. Carrying out the ECAM actions should not be hurried, as it is important to complete the drill correctly.

Question 2

Aborted T/O:

Answer 2

“Stop”
-Thust…IDLE then MAX REV
-Check/Announce…Reverse & Decel
-Autobrake…………..Monitor
-Audio………………….Cancel
-When AC Stopped:
(consider positioning of AC to keep possible fire away from fuselage)
-Capt:
-Reverse…stowed
-Park brake…ON
-Cabin crew…Alert
-ECAM Actions…ORDER
-FO:
-ATC…Notify
-EMER EVAC Procedure (QRH)…Locate
-ECAM Actions…DO (when ordered)

AC should remain stationary while crew evaluates the situation

Question 3

Engine Failure After V1

Answer 3

. “V1” (ENG fails)
“rotate”
“positive climb”
“gear up”
“gear up, ENG 1/2 fail” (must say after gear up)
-Follow SRS
-Trim
-Pull HDG
-Engage AP once trimmed
-Can request secondary flight plan if req

-Above 400’:
-Start ECAM Action process (PF can do mayday with intentions once in control of comms)
“ECAM Actions”
“ENG 1/2 Fail”
“Confirmed”
-Follow ECAM until engine secured
“Shutdown”
“Stop ECAM”

-At/above Acceleration Alt:
-Push VS (level off)
-Clean up AC to green dot
-Approaching Green Dot pull Alt (OP CLB)
-When flashing, set MCT
-When in climb
“Continue ECAM”
-Resume normal ECAM procedure

Once complete, do FDODAR, NITS to cabin, talk to tower, QRH (OEI landing, overwight if req), appch load and brief.

Question 4

Handling ECAM procedures calls/flow etc?

Answer 4

Whoever sees it first - pushes
-Master Warning/Caution sounds/illuminates
“Master warning/caution”
“(title of failure)”
*ECAM - confirm
-Mem items, consider OEB
“ECAM Actions” (applies to first ECAM only)
*ECAM actions - perform
“Clear ___“ (Flt ctl etc)
*Check ECAM actions performed
“Clear ___“
*push CLR to clear
-Run through this for each ECAM failure/fault if multiple

-Read right side of E/WD
“Land ASAP amber/red” if displayed
“Secondary failure ___“ then read the SD, suggest APU if one gen inop etc
“Clear ___“
“Clear ___“
“Status”
“Stop ECAM”
-Consider missed flows, normal C/L, system resets, any QRH or additional procedures
-Once the above is done/considered
“Continue ECAM”
“Status __“ read out all status items, once done:
“Remove status?”
“Remove status”
*Remove sts page
“ECAM Actions complete”
-IF TIME PERMITS check QRH and FCOM, some failures the FCOM has helpful info

Question 5

Handling ECAM Advisory?

Answer 5

First crew member to notice:
“Advisory on ___ system”
PF then requests PM to monitor, and if time permits check QRH for triggering conditions and any recommended actions
