MT 3

Question 1

Emergency Descent Overview SOPM

Answer 1

This maneuver is designed to bring the airplane down to a safe altitude in the minimum amount of time, when experiencing a rapid depressurization, or any other situation requiring immediate and rapid loss of altitude. This procedure is accomplished using the QRC.
During an emergency descent, crew communication must be maintained in order to identify possible pilot incapacitation.
When structural damage is suspected, use flight controls with care, limit speed as appropriate, and evaluate the use of landing gear to expedite the descent. When turbulence is encountered, reduce to turbulent air penetration speed.

Question 2

Emergency descent QRC

Answer 2

EMERGENCY DESCENT

FASTEN BELTS SIGN - ON

ALTITUDE - 10,000’ OR MEA (WHICHEVER IS HIGHER)

FLCH - SELECT

THRUST LEVERS - IDLE

SPEED BRAKE - FULL OPEN

AIRSPEED - MAX / APPROPRIATE

TRANSPONDER (FO) - 7700

ATC (FO) - NOTIFY

PA (FO) - “ATTENTION FLIGHT ATTENDANTS EMERGENCY DESCENT

PA (FO) “ATTENTION FLIGHT ATTENDANTS, WE HAVE REACHED A SAFE ALTITUDE, IT IS SAFE TO REMOVE OXYGEN MASKS”

Question 3

Emergency Descent QRH

Answer 3

FSTN BELTS Switch - ON

Altitude - 10000 ft OR MEA, WHICHEVER IS HIGHER

Thrust Levers - IDLE

SPEEDBRAKE Lever - FULL OPEN

Airspeed - MAX/ APPROPRIATE

Transponder - 7700

Question 4

Perform Manually Controlled Loss of Reliable Airspeed

Answer 4

• Pilots recognizes and verbalize unreliable airspeed indications.
• PF disconnects autopilot.
• PF disconnects auto throttles.
• PF determines initial pitch and power for a safe flight path.
• Pilots complete QRH procedure correctly.

Question 5

Perform Upset Recovery Maneuvers

Answer 5

RECOGNIZE and CONFIRM “UPSET”
“DISCONNECT” AP and AT
“PUSH”
“ROLL”
“THRUST”
“STABILIZE”

Question 6

Perform Full Stall Recovery

Answer 6

RECOGNIZE and CONFIRM “UPSET”
“DISCONNECT” AP and AT
“PUSH”
“ROLL”
“THRUST”
“STABILIZE”

Question 7

Perform Bounced Landing Recovery

Answer 7

SOPM- note that for bounced landing we must be above vref to clean up, unlike a missed approach otherwise same procedure

Question 8

Loss of reliable airspeed PF

Answer 8

PF:
• Disconnects the AP and AT

• Sets an initial pitch and thrust setting (Level flight; FL360; 70,000 lbs; 0.70 Mach; Pitch – 4°; Thrust – 85.7%)

Question 9

Loss of reliable airspeed PM

Answer 9

PM:
• Declares an emergency. “SkyWest 4675 is declaring an emergency due to Unreliable Airspeed. We need a block altitude between FL360 and FL300. Standby.”

Question 10

Loss of reliable airspeed Crew needs to look for and set…

Answer 10

GS
GPS Altitude
IRS PITCH
Revert to reliable ADS
Select an ILS

Question 11

Where is GS located?

Answer 11

PFD

Question 12

Where is GPS Altitude located?

Answer 12

NAV page 2
POS Sensors
GPS

Question 13

Where is IRS PITCH located?

Answer 13

center of the airplane symbol
NAV 2/2
Pos Sensors
IRS

Question 14

What do we do after stabilizing the AC in unreliable airspeed scenario

Answer 14

After the crew stabilizes the aircraft for level flight, initiate a descent. Use the Unreliable Airspeed tables to determine a pitch attitude and thrust setting. (Descent; FL300; 70,000 lbs; 0.70 Mach; Pitch – -1°; Thrust – Idle.)

Question 15

Cabin Altitude High Memory Item

Answer 15

Oxygen Masks Don 100%
Crew Communication Establish

Question 16

Upset recovery PM

Answer 16

Monitor airspeed and altitude throughout recovery
(1) Announce aircraft state
(2) Call out terrain
(3) Verify all required actions are accomplished and call out any omissions

Calls out “GREEN DOT” When accelerating past green dot.

Notify ATC of need for altitude and/or course change. Declare emergency, as necessary

Question 17

The driftdown speed is green dot.
To Initiate drift down:

Answer 17

1. VNAV and FMS SPEEDS must be active.
2. CONFIRM EO: On the EO RANGE PAGE, select LSK 5R (CONFIRM EO).
3. On the EO RANGE PAGE, MAX ALT will display at LSK 1L. Set MAX ALT in the altitude selector.
4. Perform applicable checklists, notify ATC, and monitor descent.

Question 18

What do you need for drift down?

Answer 18

VNAV must be armed for DD to activate
