Emergencies Flashcards
Parameters that cause PMU to abort a start
Weak battery High OAT high prestart ITT HIGH DA Tailwind
Manually abort
ITT rate of increase appears likely to exceed 1000 C (hot start)
Normal N1 increase is halted (hung start)
No rise of ITT is evident with 10 sec after fuel flow (no start)
Red BATT Bus on right EICAS (never going to happen)
PCL is moved or ST READY green advisory message extinguishes during the start sequence
Reasons for motoring
Any aborted start during which fuel was introduced
Motor the engine to clear residual fuel and/or lower the ITT
Motoring
PCL- off Ign- norm Prop- clear Starter switch- manual for 20 sec Starter switch- norm
Reasons for emergency engine shutdown
Engine fire Prop strike Chip light Likely to depart the prepared surface Or any other reason
Emergency engine shutdown
PCL- off
Firewall shutoff handle- pull
Emergency ground egress- as req
Reasons to take off or abort
Runway length and condition
Terminal weather conditions and area traffic
System emergency affecting safety prior to liftoff
Abort
PCL- idle
Brakes- as req
Warning:
Do not taxi into or park in a congested area if max effort braking used. Do not set parking brake
Tire failure during TO
If the decision is made to stop:
1. Abort
If TO is continued:
2. Gear and flaps position- do not change
3. Straight in approach- execute
Land on side of runway of good tire (put drag in the middle)
Maintain directional control with rudder, brakes, or NWS
Complete engine failure indications
Total loss of power
Fairly rapid reduction in airspeed
Engine failure immediately after TO
1. Airspeed- 110 kts min A positive nose down pitch change will be needed 2. PCL- as req Select idle to increase drag Select off to reduced sink rate 3. Emergency LDG GR handle- pull 4. Flaps- as req.
Maximum breaking action
A smooth single application, increasing as airspeed decreases, offers the best braking opportunity.
Not equipped with anti-skid or anti-lock protection
Weight fully on wheels
Breaking caution speed
80 kias
Greater chance achieved below this value
Loss of brake effectiveness
Fully release brakes
Then reapply
Maximum abort speed
The maximum speed at which an abort may be started and the aircraft stopped within the remaining runway length
