Engine Failures Flashcards
When is an engine considered damaged?
High vibration prior to flame out
Loud noise or explosion
Repeated and uncontrollable engine stalls
Abnormal engine indications: n1 or n2 ~ 0%
DO not relight
Engine Failure At V1
Announce "Engine Failure" Fly the aircraft.....rudder GEAR UP TOGA ....or (FLEX until green dot speed) PITCH ...................12.5 degrees Beta Target.............TRIM with rudder Navigate.................LAND ASAP Above 400 feet.......ECAM ACTIONS EO ACC ALT............V/S....,push to level off CLEAN up a/c.........F speed flaps 1 / S speed flaps 0 Green dot speed.....OPN CLB.... MCT..........................SET FMGS....prepare and brief approach
What are the EO ACC ALT procedures?
Order “Stop ECAM” before EO ACC ALT
V/S knob………………………..PUSH
FMA
CLEAN UP the aircraft…….F=FLAPS 1, S=FLAPS 0
ALT SELECTOR KNOB……PULL at green dot
THR LEVERS………………….MCT
FMA
When is an engine considered secured?
ENG MASTER OFF….for an engine failure without damage
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
