Emergency Actions Flashcards
What are the Ejection checks?
- Seat harness - Secured and locked
- PSP - Connected
- Helmet - Visor down, chin strap secure
- Seat Pin - Removed
- Location - Suitable
- Height - Ideally 2000ft AGL
- Airspeed - 150 - 250KIAS
- Trim - 1/3 aileron trim
- Attitude - Wings level, climbing
Aborted Takeoff
MFD - N/A
DWP - N/A
ECS - N/A
- PCL - Idle
- Brakes - Maximum Possible/As Required
If ANTI-SKID is lost on T/O, what are you actions?
Abort T/O Boldface:
- PCL - IDLE
- Brakes - As required
Apply light braking as tyres can be damaged easily with no ANTI-SKID
What are the correct actions in the event of an AMU channel failure?
- Maintain safe height, heading and speed (use the autopilot if in the area)
- AMU 1/2 failure will be seen in the R MFD
- If in the circuit establish on downwind and base into upwind
- Once at upwind get out checklist and follow the checklist
What are your actions for an Engine Mechanical Failure in the area?
- Aviate: As soon as power loss is identified turn towards YMES and climb to capture 140KIAS for the glide (note LMFD will fail)
- Aviate: Engine mechanical failure is assumed if loss of thrust and multiple cautions and warnings with not fire captions
- Aviate: Complete boldface checks
- Comms: Once established on the glide at 140KIAS and tracking to YMES: “MAYDAY (x3), ROLR XX (x3) Engine failure tracking towards sale”
- Maintain 140KIAS, complete rest of the checks
- If ejection required, point away from built up areas
What are the indications for a ENG Mechanical Failure?
- Loss of thrust
- Loss of avionics (LMFD)
- Engine noises
- Aircraft vibrations
- ITT fluctuating
- Temps and pressure fluctuations
- Physical damage seen to upper engine cowling possible
What are your actions for an Engine Mechanical Failure in the CIRA?
- ZOOM, TRIM, MAYDAY, BOOM
You are in the CIRA and smell/feel smoke or fumes in the cockpit, what are your actions?
- Aviate: Maintain safe height, heading and speed
- Complete boldface actions
- Look for any source of fumes from within the cockpit (If seen turn that system off)
- Complete boldface actions if source not seen or continues
- Monitor for symptoms of hypoxia
- If no symptoms continue checklist items and consider if ejection is the best COA
You are in the area and see FIRE of the MFD and DWP with audible and visual warnings, what are your actions?
- Upon recognition of FIRE caption turn towards YMES and complete initial boldface actions
- Check mirrors, look over the shoulder or engine cowling for signs of (smoke)
- Recommence boldface checks if fire continues
- Capture 140KIAS and adopt the glide if the fire is seen to go out (no more smoke)
- Make the R/T: “MAYDAY x3, ROLR XX x3, ENGINE FIRE tracking towards sale”
- Maintain glide and assess if RTB is possible to ejection is required
You are in the CIRA and hear an oral attentional getter and see “HYD MAIN” in the RMFD, what are your actions?
- Check height, heading and speed are safe
- Switch to the HYD page
- Remain in the CIRA and make R/T to ATC “PAN PAN x3, ROLR XX x3, Main HYD failure, intention is to stay in the CIRA and troubleshoot”
- Gain contact with DI and troubleshoot
- Points to note: Don’t check brakes on DW, don’t put LDG gear down until required
You are on downwind and notice that on of your LDG Gear indications is red, what are your actions?
- Check safe height, heading, speed and PWR
- Maintain IAS below 180KIAS
- Contact the DI for assistance
- Complete checklist w/ DI
- If three greens cannot be seen, complete a planned ejection
Points to note: No anti-skid
You have noticed that the aircraft felt significantly heavier than normal in roll and you now require much more force to manoeuvre the aircraft, what are your actions?
- Confirms that a HYD failure has not taken place via EMD
- If no caption, assume aileron control systems malfunction
- Confirm safe height, heading, airspeed and PWR
- Complete boldface (TRIM/AIL PWR off)
- Likely a good idea to make a PAN call
- Contact the DI, and troubleshoot
- Request reposition for 3 mile finals
You are downwind and notice an amber TRIM AID caption in the RMFD, what are your actions?
Note: Rudder Trim is still available (Pitch —> Rudder —> Aileron)
- Maintain safe height, heading and speed
- Likely to go around from base/finals (More rudder will be required)
- Maintain upwind/downwind within the CIRA and complete Cx w/ DI
- Depending on the result of checks PAN call may be required prior to landing: “PAN (x3), ROLR XX (x3), Requesting reposition for 3 mile finals due rudder trim failure”
You are in the CIRA and while trimming experience a significant increase in control force gradually increasing, what are you actions?
- Suspect a trim failure of some kind, check the TTIs
- If on trim indicator is max:
- Trim/Aileron PWR - OFF
- Maintain within the CIRA at safe height, heading and speed
- Unlikely to fix, make PAN call: “PAN (x3), ROLR XX (x3), Requesting reposition for 3 mile finals due trim runaway”
Helpful tips:
- Reduce airspeed
- Conduct a controllability check
- If stuck in a weird yaw, fuel readings may become inaccurate
What are your actions in the event of a flap failure within the CIRA?
If flaps up or in T/O position, use flapless landing speeds
- Maintain safe height, heading and speed below 180KIAS
- Go around from base/finals
- Able to use AP on upwind and downwind
- Once consulted with DI make request 3 mile finals: “Requesting reposition for 3 mile finals”
