Chapter 12 Aircraft Accident, Incident, And Emergency Flashcards
If an emergency develops requiring cessation of pushback, the Pilot-in-Command shall advise the Station Attendant by calling:
Emergency, Emergency – Stop Pushback, Stop Pushback.”
What calls do the pilots make to the flight attendants in a prepared emergency landing?
approximately two minutes prior to touchdown the Flight Crew shall use the PA system and announce:
- “Emergency stations - Emergency Stations”
approximately 30 seconds prior to touchdown, the Flight Crew shall use the PA system and announce:
- “Brace for landing, Brace for landing.
In the event of a rapid deplanement, the Flight Crew shall use the PA system and announce:
“Deplane immediately and leave your personal belongings.”
What does the pilot say over the PA to initiate an evacuation?
“Evacuate - Evacuate” with no further instructions.
What is communicated over PA for a P-EFB, PED or Laptop Fire in the flight deck?
“Backup to the flight deck, backup to the flight deck”
What are the 3 classifications of landing?
- Normal Landing
- Abnormal Landing
- Emergency Landing
To describe the type of landing and emergency procedures (if any) to be expected, the following information shall be reviewed with the In-Charge Flight Attendant:
- Landing Classification; and
- Type of emergency; and
- Touchdown surface (i.e., land or water); and
- Time available for preparation; and
- The need to displace passengers, as applicable; and
- The use of Urgent Communications calls. (i.e., “Emergency Stations – Emergency Stations,” “Brace for Landing – Brace For Landing,” or “Evacuate - Evacuate”): and
- Who will advise the passengers and when this will occur; and
- Post landing attitudes and conditions affecting use of exits.
As the briefing points are also included on the Prepared Emergency Landing Card the In-Charge Flight Attendant shall use this card to confirm the information received.
After a Depressurization incident and once the aircraft has reached a safe altitude, there is a requirement for the in-charge and flight crew to communicate. How is this done, and why?
To summon the In-Charge Flight Attendant to the flight deck, a PA announcement, “In-Charge Flight Attendant report to/call the flight deck” should be made. The Flight Crew shall then obtain a report on the cabin status from the In-Charge Flight Attendant and the In-Charge Flight Attendant shall also check on the status of the Flight Crew.
If the aircraft must level off above 10,000 feet for a period and the Pilot-in-Command requires the In-Charge Flight Attendant to report to the flight deck, the PA announcement should include information that the In-Charge Flight Attendant should report to the flight deck while using oxygen.
What to keep in mind when briefing passengers on an emergency and what words to use (avoid)?
- Pass control of the aircraft when at all possible to allow the flight crew member to focus on the message; and
- Use non-technical terms to explain the situation; and
- Install confidence by creating an awareness that the Flight Crew is well trained in dealing with the situation; and
- Refer to ARFF equipment as “safety vehicles” and their arrival is a standard procedure; and
- Where possible avoid words like fire or emergency
if a flight attendant has been involved in the handling of the incident, the In-Charge Flight Attendant should be informed that a _______________needs to be submitted.
FOHR
What happens if a communication failure with ATC occurs in VMC conditions?
If the failure occurs in VMC or if VMC is encountered after the failure, the Flight Crew shall continue the flight under VMC and land as soon as practicable.
This procedure applies in any class of airspace. The primary purpose is to preclude extended IFR operation in controlled airspace in VMC. However, it is not intended that the requirement to land as soon as practicable be construed to mean land as soon as possible.
If a COM failure occurs while holding, when should you begin the last assigned/planned approach?
If the failure occurs after receiving and acknowledging a holding instruction. Flight Crews shall hold as directed and commence an instrument approach at the EAT or expected further clearance time, whichever has been issued.
What If the communications failure occurs while being vectored at a radar-vectoring altitude that is lower than published IFR altitude (e.g., Minimum Sector Altitude 25 nm)?
Flight Crews shall immediately climb to and maintain the appropriate minimum IFR altitude until arrival at a fix associated with the instrument procedure.
What should you do if normal two way communication with Flight Dispatch fails?
Flight Crews shall attempt to re-establish communication using PAL frequencies, Air Radio networks (e.g., ARINC), FSS, SATCOM, AGRIS, or relay through another aircraft.
What is the Definition of Fumes?
fumes shall be defined as invisible but odorous vapours of an intensity that impair breathing, vision, or cognitive functions to the extent that the immediate use of oxygen masks and goggles are necessary for safety of flight.
