AGENT 1 DISCH …for an engine failure with damage
Fire extinguished or AGENT 2…DISCH for an engine fire
Do not exceed the MAX EO ACC ALT (LPC NG or RTOW charts)
What are the ECAM actions?
ECAM PROCEDURE
SYSTEM DISPLAY
STATUS. (Before reading status…NORMAL C/L & computer resets)
What is the APPROACH PREPARATION ?
ANNOUNCE “you have controls”
FMS……PREPARE
APPR BRIEFING….PERFORM. (Standard briefing +status+ QRH)
Consider overweight landing)
ENGINE FAILURE AT CRUISE?
FLY the Aircraft LAND ASAP THRUST LEVERS......MCT A/THR........................OFF ( in order to freeze MCT) ECAM ACTIONS Do not decelerate below green dot!
What is the standard strategy for Engine Out Descent?
Mach.78 or 300kt……….SET AND PULL
EO LRC CEILING ALT….SET AND PULL
(On PROG page: REC MAX = EO LRC Ceiling)
FMA
V/S -500FT/MIN…..SET AND PULL (when <500ft/min
A/THR…………………ON
FMA
ALL ENGINE FLAME OUT / ENG DUAL FAILURE - fuel remaining?
LAND ASAP EMER ELEC PWR......MAN ON THR LEVERS..............IDLE FAC 1..........................OFF then ON ENG MODE SEL.........IGN
OPTIUM RELIGHT SPEED……300 knots (2nm/1000’ glide rate)
PITCH….(about - 3.5 degrees for 60T or 132K
ATC 1 only….Landing strategy
IF NO RELIGHT after 30 seconds…..ENG MASTERS…off 30s…on
CREW OXY…ON
APU…start if able below FL 250
DUAL HYD FAILURE: G SYS LO PR?
NO IMMEDIATE ACTIONS REQUIRES; however,
ECAM ACTIONS ASAP
DUAL HYD FAILURE: HYD G+Y SYS LO PR?
FLY the A/C: LOSS OF AP + ALTN LAW
Flaps are lost with GY failure
When does the RAT (RAM AIR TURBINE) automatically extend?
All engines fail
Loss of AC BUS 1 and AC BUS 2
With RAT extended, the fuel consumption increases by 1%.
What is the EMERGENCY EVACUATION?
Aircraft parking brake…………….STOP/ON
ATC (VHF1)……………………………NOTIFY
Cabin Crew……………………………ALERT
^P………CHECK 0, if not, MODE SEL on MAN, V/S CTL FULL UP
ENG MASTERS………………………OFF
FIRE PUSHBUTTONS (ALL)……..PUSH
AGENTS (ENG and APU)………….AS REQUIRED
EVAC……………………………………..initiate if required
CABIN CREW and PAX……………Notify
What are some causes of UNRELIABLE AIRSPEED indications?
Water (heavy rain)
Severe Icing
Loss of heating
Probes damaged or plastic not removed from covers
How can you display the a/c altitude if you don’t trust it and you have an unreliable airspeed indication?
GPS altitude is displayed on the DATa page (difsrip)
L3 button GPS Monitor
AUTOMATIC EXTENSION OF GROUND SPOILERS happens ?
Wheel speed >72 knots
Ground spoilers are armed
All thrust levers are retarded to IDLE
AUTOMATIC BRAKING ACTIVATION ( MAX or RTOW mode) when?
AUTOBRAKING is commanded by the ground spoilers extension but they won’t happen if the RTO is initiated below 72 Knots.
When should you REJECT the takeoff?
Below 100 knots: any ECAM WARNING/CAUTION
Between 100 knots and V1: Fire warning or severe damage Sudden loss of engine thrust Aircraft will not fly safely Any RED ECAM Warning Any amber ECAM caution of the ENG system or F/CTL
What are the RTO actions from the PF?
CALL...................."STOP" All thrust levers.....IDLE Reverse thrust......MAX AVAILABLE Aircraft stopped: REVERSE...............STOWED PARKING BRAKE...APPLY PA Call...................."Attention crew! At stations Announce ..............ECAM ACTIONS
What are the RTO actions from the PNF?
Reverse............check/announce Deceleration.....check/announce Any audio..........cancel ATC....................inform EMERGENCY EVAC PROCEDURE.....locate ECAM actions.........initiate
What is the EMERGENCY EVAC preparation?
PF: Announce……….”STOP ECAM”
Announce…………….”emergency evacuation procedure
PNF: ECAM ACTIONS………STOP
EMER EVAC PROC…………..READ and DO
What is the EMER EVAC DECISION ?
PA call……..”EVACUATE”
EMER EVAC COMMAND……ON
What happens when you lose 2 Radio Altimeters (NAV 1+2 FAULT)?
No AUTO CALLOUT
The G/S mode and the APPR mode can’t be engaged
The LOC is available but the AP/FD must be monitored
The GS signal is properly received
The status will change to DIRECT LAW with the LG down.
What is the approach prep for both RA failed (NAV RA 1+2 FAULT).
Plan for an ILS
Don’t engage ILS APPR
LOC armed or RAW data
Use Track-FPA (Bird)
CONFIG 3
GEAR not down warning is triggered from FLAP 3 position
APPROACH speed: Vref + 10
NO AUTO CALLOUT during the flare
ELEC EMER CONFIG is powered by what?
When Aircraft is in flight (>100k) RAT extends automatically and powers the BLUE system which drives the EMER GEN.
ELEC EMER CONFIG is caused by a loss of all AC buses, loss of all engines, loss of all generators, or a combo of failures.
