EPs Flashcards
Abort Actions
- Throttles - IDLE
2. Wheel Brakes - AS REQUIRED
Engine Failure/Fire During Takeoff, Takeoff Continued
- Throttles - MAX
- Flaps - 60%
- Airspeed - ATTAIN SETOS MINIMUM
Engine Failure/Fire During Takeoff, Takeoff Continued Considerations
- Accelerate in a 3-point attitude with stick slightly aft of neutral
- Make sure your climb angle is shallower than normal
- Gear retraction may take up to 1 minute
Dual Engine Failure During Low Altitude Actions
- Zoom aircraft (sufficient airspeed)
2. Perform alternate airstart (1. Throttle/(s) - MAX, Speed Brake - CONFIRM CLOSED)
Dual Engine Failure During Low Altitude Considerations
- If unable to get a relight immediately below 2,000 AGL, zoom 20° NH
- EJECT
Ejection Actions
- Command “Bailout, Bailout, Bailout”
2. Get in good body position (Head back, feet in, elbows in)
Ejection Considerations
- 2,000 AGL controlled, 15,000 AGL uncontrolled
2. Attempt to zoom 20° NH in low-altitude sitations
Post-Ejection Procedures
Canopy, visor, mask, seat kit, LPU, 4-line, steer, prepare to land, land
Single-Engine Go Actions
- Throttle(s) - Max
- Flaps - 60%
- Airspeed - Attain final approach speed minimum
Single-Engine Go Considerations
- Use both engines if there is any possibility of thrust and no Fire, FOD, or Frozen
- Make sure you don’t accidentally hit the speedbrake
- Gear retraction may take up to 1 minute at airspeeds between final approach speed and 200 KCAS
Engine Failure BERASSE Check
Boldface Engine Shutdown, Restart Alternate Gear Ex, Single-Engine Landing Single-Engine Go Ejection
Engine Failure Actions
- Safe flying airspeed (250-300)
- Disengage throttle gate
- Place affected engine throttle in OFF
Engine Failure Considerations
- Don’t attempt restarts for Fire, FOD, or Frozen
- Anything else, attempt a restart
- If unable to restart the engine, place that throttle in OFF`
Alternate Gear Extension Analysis
- Total DC failure
- Loss of left engine (utility hydraulics)
- Unsafe gear indications
Alternate Gear Extension Actions
- Below 240
- Flaps - A/R
- Gear Doors - Open
Alternate Gear Extension Considerations
- Takes 15 to 35 seconds
2. Stop straight ahead
Engine Restart During Flight Actions
- Throttle - OFF (10 seconds)
2. RPM - 12% min (18-20% ideal) 3. Battery - On
Engine Restart During Flight Considerations
- Attempt a normal restart before an alternate airstart
2. You need DC power, fuel flow, and sufficient RPM for a proper airstart
Generator Failure Analysis
- Master Caution
- L or R Gen Light
- Caution/Alert on MFD/HUD
Generator Failure Actions
- Ensure engine is operating above RPM range of 43-48%
- Attempt to reset the failed generator
- Once clear the runway, shut down engine with failed generator after clearing the runway
Generator Failure Considerations
- Don’t reset a generator more than once
2. If gen resets and you had good crossover, you can continue the mission
MDP Failure Analysis
- Blank/abnormal data without an AVIONICS alert
- Blank HUD/UFCP
- Backup on MFD
- Auto activation of backup panels
MDP Failure Actions
- Check MDP circuit breaker
- Turn MDP switch OFF then back ON
- Backup Control - BOTH, if system does not switch automatically
MDP Failure Considerations
- VHF cannot be tuned (stays on last freq)
- Lose all MDP-generated alerts
- No TCAS
Low Fuel Px/Fuel Leak (Boost pump) failure indications
FUEL PRESS annunciator - fuel pressure has dropped below 6 psi (normally 10)
Low Fuel Px/Fuel Leak Considerations
- Consider shutting engine down due to a fuel leak because of fire danger
- Could be a phase failure or generator causing reduced boost pump output
When to not crossfeed (BFLx3)
Boost pump inop, fuel quantity failure, leak in system, low altitude, low fuel state
What are the indications of an oil pump shaft shear?
RPM indicates FAIL, Oil px indicates 0 simultaneously, T5 failure (EGT out of limits above 97%)
Oil system malfunction indications
Oil px not within limits, or jumps more than 10 psi with a stabilized power setting
Oil system malfunction considerations
- You can restart an engine for a critical phase of flight - use lowest RPM possible
- If you shut down right engine, check crossover. If bad, consider lowering 60% flaps and trimming for landing
Airframe mounted gearbox failure indications
Simultaneous illumination of generator and hydraulic lights with hydraulic pressure at 0 psi
Airframe mounted gearbox failure immediate actions
With vibrations, shut down engine immediately
Airframe mounted gearbox failure cosiderations
- Don’t try to reset the generator
- No vibrations, good for engine
- Gearbox failure without crossover will freeze hydraulic gauge (even though actually 0)
Gearbox failure to shift indications
Gen light on associated engine
Gearbox failure to shift immediate actions
Move throttle to opposite side of shift range (65-75%)
Gearbox failure to shift considerations
- If gearbox works in one range keep engine running in that range as long as practical 2. Clear the runway and shut down in EOR
Alternate gear extension indications
- Loss of left engine hydraulics 2. Loss of DC power (dual TRU failure)
- Complete electrical failure
- Unsafe gear indications
Alternate gear extension immediate actions
- Below 240
- Flaps - 60%
- Gear doors - open
- Gear Handle - DOWN
- Alt Gear Ext Handle - Pull (10 inches until gear unlocks)
Alternate gear extension considerations
- Takes approximately 15-35 seconds
- No NWS
- Stop straight ahead, don’t clear runway (no downside hydraulics)
- Place gerar handle up then down again recycles downside hydraulic pressure on gear
Compressor stall indications
“pop, bang or buzz” followed by rapid RPM drop and EGT rise (low altitude)
Compressor stall immediate actions
- Retard throttle to idle
- press start button
- increase/decrease airspeed as necessary
- Abort mission even if engine recovers
Compressor stall considerations
- Placing throttle in idle is an attempt to reduce engine airflow requirements
- If you shut down engine due to compressor stall, you may attempt a restart
