Memory items

Answer 5

• 1. Engine start lever/FUELCONTROL switch (affected engine) — CUTOFF. (PM)
• 2. Engine fire switch (affected engine) — Pull and rotate to the stop until bottle discharge. (PM)
• 3. Engine fire switch (affected engine) — Rotate to the other stop until bottle discharge. (PM)

►►Proceed to the Ground Evacuation checklist, paragraph 12.7.1.

Question 6

What typically causes engine tailpipe fires?

Answer 6

Engine tailpipe fires are typically caused by engine control malfunctions that result in the ignition of pooled fuel and can be damaging to the engine.

Question 7

Generally an engine tailpipe fire occurs on the ground with

Answer 7

no engine fire warning

Question 8

How would you describe a tailpipe fire?

Answer 8

A tailpipe fire is typically reported as sustained visible flames emanating from the tailpipe.

Question 9

What may be a reason that there is no engine fire warning associated with a tailpipe fire?

Answer 9

A tailpipe fire is typically external to the engine compartment monitored by the engine fire detection/protection system, thus limiting the effectiveness of engine fire extinguishing agents.

Question 10

Engine fire extinguishing agents may not be effective against a tailpipe fire. Why?

Answer 10

A tailpipe fire is typically external to the engine compartment monitored by the engine fire detection/protection system, thus limiting the effectiveness of engine fire extinguishing agents.

Question 11

Due to limited effectiveness of fire extinguishing agents on a tailpipe fire, __________ the engine is the primary means of extinguishing the fire

Answer 11

motoring

Question 12

What are three considerations when dealing with a tailpipe fire?

Answer 12

1. Due to limited effectiveness of fire extinguishing agents on a tailpipe fire, motoring the engine is the primary means of extinguishing the fire.
2. To prevent an inappropriate evacuation, the flight crew should be notified without significant delay.
3. Engine Fire Protection Systems are not effective against a fire inside the tailpipe.

Question 13

Note regarding torching and tailpipe fire

Answer 13

Do not confuse torching with a tailpipe fire. Torching is usually brief and extinguished by following the aborted engine start procedure

Question 21

If smoke, fire or fumes are encountered during preflight (possibly with reduced aircrew numbers), the senior qualified
crewman SHOULD/SHALL execute the Smoke, Fire, or Fumes Emergency checklist and assign the available aircrew duties to isolate the source.

Answer 21

Shall

Question 22

If the source of the smoke, fire or fumes cannot be isolated,

Answer 22

SHALL secure power
SHALL evacuate

If the source of the smoke, fire or fumes cannot be isolated, power to the aircraft shall be secured in the flight deck and the aircrew shall evacuate.

Question 23

Note regarding extending air stair from interior during smoke, fire, or fumes on ground

Answer 23

If the airstair must be extended from the interior to facilitate evacuation and ac power has been secured, the battery switch needs to remain ON and the standby function utilized to extend the ladder.

Question 24

Warning regarding egress through the two sliding flight deck windows

Answer 24

Egress through the two sliding flight deck windows is difficult and should be used only in extreme emergency. Egress wearing emergency equipment may result in a fall causing serious injury or death.

Question 25

T/F The over wing exit doors can only be opened from the inside

Answer 25

The overwing exit doors can be opened from inside or outside

of the aircraft by a spring-loaded handle at the top of the door

Question 26

When do the over wing emergency exits lock?

Answer 26

The overwing emergency
exits lock when
the entry/service doors are closed,

either engine is running,
and either the aircraft air/ground logic
indicates that the aircraft is in the air or
both thrust levers are advanced.

Question 27

When does the flight lock mechanism automatically activate?

Answer 27

On takeoff roll

The flight lock mechanism automatically activates on takeoff roll. This prevents operation of the door handle in low differential pressure and unpressurized flight.

Question 28

Why does the flight lock mechanism automatically activate on takeoff roll?

Answer 28

This prevents operation of the door handle in low differential pressure and unpressurized
flight.

Question 29

When do the over wing exits unlock?

Answer 29

The overwing emergency exits unlock when any one of the above conditions is not met or dc power is lost

Question 30

What are five factors that the AC SHALL consider when executing a ground evacuation?

Answer 30

1. The urgency of the situation, including the possibility of significant injury or loss of life if a significant delay occurs.
2. The type of threat to the aircraft, including structural damage, fire, etc.
3. The possibility of fire spreading rapidly from spilled fuel or other flammable materials.
4. The extent of damage to the aircraft.
5. The possibility of flight crew injury during an emergency evacuation

Question 31

Note regarding ground evacuation and flaps

Answer 31

If time allows, verify that the flaps are at 30 before the engine start levers/FUEL CONTROL switches are moved to CUTOFF.
