memory items

Question 0

What are the memory items for an EGPWS “pull up - terrain ahead pull up - obstacle ahead pull up”?

Answer 0

Simultaneously:

Auto pilot - off
Pitch - pull up (pull to full aft stick and maintain)
Thrust levers - TOGA
Speed brakes lever - check retracted
Bank - wings level or adjust

When flight path is safe and warning stops: decrease pitch attitude and accelerate.

When speed is above Vls and vertical speed is positive: clean up a/c as req.

Question 1

What are the memory items for crew incapacitation?

Answer 1

• take control of the aircraft “I have control”, use take over button and engage auto pilot on pilots side.
• call CM to flight deck, use PA “attention senior cabin crew member to the flight deck”.
• declare emergency to atc
• take steps to assure incapacitated pilot can not interfere with aircraft controls.
• request assistance from any medically qualified passenger.
• check for a qualified company pilot onboard.
• land as soon as practicable.
• arrange medical assistance

Second phase:

• prepare approach and read cx list early
• request radar vectors for a longer approach
• perform landing from fit pilot usual seat.

Question 2

What are the memory items for an EGPWS “terrain terrain - too low terrain”?

Answer 2

Adjust the flight path or initiate a go-around.

Question 3

What are the memory items for an EGPWS “terrain ahead - obstacle ahead”?

Answer 3

Adjust the flight path. Stop descent. Climb and/or turn, as necessary, based on analysis of all available instruments and information.

Question 4

What are the memory items for an EGPWS “sink rate - don’t sink”?

Answer 4

Adjust pitch attitude and thrust to silence the alert.

Question 5

What are the memory items for an EGPWS “too low gear - too low flaps”?

Answer 5

Perform a go-around.

Question 6

What are the memory items for an EGPWS “glide slope”?

Answer 6

Establish the aircraft on the glide slope, or switch off the g/s mode on-sw, if flight below the glideslope is intentional (NPA).

Question 7

What are the memory items for an emergency descent?

Answer 7

Immediate actions:
- crew oxy masks - on
- emer descent - announce (pa)
- signs - on
- emer descent - initiate
* turn alt pull
* turn hdg pull
* adjust speed/ mach 
- thrust levers (if A/THR not on) - idle
(Check thr idle on fma)
- speed brake - full

When descent established:
Emergency descent FL100 or minimum allowable altitude.

• speeds - max/ appropriate
• eng mode sel - ign
• atc - notify
• transponder - 7700

If cab alt >14000 fr
Pax oxy masks - man on

Question 8

What are the memory items for unreliable speed?

Answer 8

AP/FD - off
A/THR - off

Pitch thrust:
Below thr red alt - 15/toga
Above thr red alt <fl100 - 10/clb
Above thr red alt >fl100 - 5/clb

Flaps - maintain config. Flaps full select conf 3

Speed brakes - check retracted

Landing gear - up

When at or above msa or circuit alt: level off for troubleshoot
