What is a red flag event
An event that if not corrected could cause loss of life or damage to an easyJet asset
If you think you have a red flag event you must contact duty pilot to se if he agrees
If he does then do an asr and tick the red flag event.
Implications of Fuel leak
Must divert
Keep cross bleed closed
No reverse on landing
If leak continues shutdown the engine on leak side
Check fuel flow as this is a positive confirmation of an engine fuel feed leak
Don’t pick a CAT 3B alternate as you will be on one engine and you might want fire trucks to look at you
Implications of bomb on board
Must be on the ground in 30 minutes
Must inform pax atc and CC sensitively
Fly fast
If bomb found evacuate
Supplementary procedures

Ref FCTM
Guarded switches etc.
When does it apply
What is also included
