Emergency Shutdown Conditions

Question 1

Emergency Engine Shutdown Conditions

Answer 1

1. Engine Fire
2. Engine Disintegration
3. Visible fluids from engine or pylon that cannot be stopped

Question 2

Emergency Engine Shutdown Checklist (-1: 3.20)

Answer 2

1. THROTTLE - “IDLE” (PF)
2. FIRE HANDLE – “PULLED” (PM)
3. AGENT – “AS REQUIRED” (PM)
    If fire is visible, indicated or suspected – discharge agent
    If fire persists, discharge alternate bottle
4. Engine Start Switch – “STOP” (P)
5. Rudder Lim Switch – “AS REQUIRED” (PM)
    WARNING: excessive rudder trim with the rudder against the stops can result in extreme rudder deflection and possible structural damage when the stops are removed
6. TCAS – “AS REQUIRED” (PM)
7. Throttles Positions – “MATCHED” (PF)
   Emergency Engine Shutdown Checklist - COMPLETED

Question 3

Disintegration (-1: 3.19.1, 3.40)

Answer 3

• Almost always turbine failure
• Cause can be FOD
• Agent required?? Only if fire is visible, indicated or suspected
Training Purposes Only Page 2 of 78
• Suspect possible damage to nearby fuselage & possibly other “good” engine
• Scan affected areas (engine-wing-pylon) for damage and assess
• Engine disintegration is sufficient to suspect wing damage may have occurred.
• If structural damage is noted:
o Make no change in airplane configuration and airspeed until extent of the damage is known
o Reduce airspeed to minimum for controllability, performance and fuel requirements
o Avoid abrupt control movements
o Maintain current configuration
o Avoid turbulence
o Do not change flap position unless flight safety is compromised
o Jettisoning fuel is not recommended due to wing loading / bending
o Controllability check in planned landing configuration; should be accomplished at a safe altitude and in the vicinity of the landing field (plan so as not to reconfigure before landing).
o Do not use reverse thrust during landing roll due to possible fuel fog ingestion if a significant fuel leak is present

Question 4

Engine Fire Inflight (-1: 3.19.1, 1.3.1, 3.20)

Answer 4

 Each engine includes two parallel fire detection loops (A and B); the Fire Detector Control Units (FDCUs) provide continuous monitoring of the fire detector loop
 The ENG 1 (2, 3, or 4) FIRE warning messages remain displayed until the fire condition is corrected.
 Indications:
o A steady light in the associated engine fire handle
o An ENG 1 (2, 3, or 4) FIRE warning message
o An audible warning
 AGENT – AS REQUIRED??
o If a fire is visible, indicated or suspected, DISCHARGE the agent
o FEVER Check
 F = Fuel flow erratic
 E = “EGT”….aka high temperature
 V = Visible flames, smoke, etc.
 E = Erratic engine instruments
 R = Roughness of engine
o Two fire bottles are available for each engine (A & B)
o If fire persists, move Bottle Select switch to BOTTLE B position and discharge agent
o If the fire cannot be extinguished land as soon as possible

Question 5

Visible fluids from engine or pylon that can’t be stopped (-1: 3.19.1)

Answer 5

 If indicated loss of fluids cannot be visually confirmed, treat the loss as visible fluids
o At night, IFR, etc….it may be nearly impossible to visually confirm
 Fire equipment should be requested prior to landing
 Do not use TRs for landing unless required to stop
