Emergency Procedures

Question 1

Engine failure causes

Answer 1

Fuel starvation
Volcanic ash, dust, sand clouds
Heavy rain, hail or icing
Bird strike
Engine stall
Engine control system malfunction

Question 2

Engine flameout indications without damage

Answer 2

Rapid decrease of EPR/N1, N2, EGT AND FF

Question 3

Engine damage indications

Answer 3

Two or more of:
Rapid increase of EGT above red line
Mismatch of rotor speeds or nil rotation
Significant increase in vibration and or buffeting
Hydraulic system loss
Repeated or non controllable engine stalls

Question 4

Engine failure at low speed

Answer 4

May result in significant yaw
To maintain directional control:
Immediately reduce both thrust levers to idle
Select both reversers
Use rudder pedal and differential braking as required
Below 72kt ground spoilers and auto brake won’t activate

Question 5

Engine failure on takeoff

Answer 5

Pitch to 12.5 degrees then SRS
SRS targets between V2 and V2+15
Normal law does not uses limited rudder deflection, rudder input required from flight crew, may require higher speed if beta cannot be centralised

Question 6

Engine failure in cruise

Answer 6

Set thrust levers to MCT
Disconnect auto thrust

In cruise:
Set appropriate HDG and pull
Determine IEO altitude
ATC notify

When ready for descent
Set speed and pull
Set OEI alt and pull

Question 7

Drift down strategies

Answer 7

Standard: 300/.78 for windmill envelope, at -500fpm maintain

Obstacle: green dot then standard once clear

Fixed speed: 320/.78 until -500fpm

Question 8

Emergency descent

Answer 8

First step: memory items
Second step: read and do ECAM or QRH
Landing lights on - PM
Masks to N dilution
Below 14000’ - Follow up PA

Idle thrust/spd brk RoD approx 7000fpm, 390’ to 100’ 4min/40nm
