QRH Flashcards
Very first thing you do when you encounter an emergency.
Stabilize the aircraft and climb to a safe altitude above 1000’ AGL before conducting any crew actions.
What are some irreversible actions that require confirmation by 2 crewmembers?
Pulling FIRE handle
Engine Start switch to STOP
Discharging a fire extinguisher
Dumping fuel
Which ECBs do you not reset if tripped?
fuel system pumps or FLCVs
ACAWS messages preceded by what indicate that an ECB has tripped?
3 digit number
APU fire is detected by what system?
F/ODS
ENG 1 (2,3,4) MGT HI = MGT is above what temp?
852
Chopping locations are marked in what color on the interior of the fuselage? On the exterior?
Yellow / Black
Emergency signal for ground evacuation?
One long sustained ring
Ground Evacuation Procedure
Parking Brake - Set Tower - Notify Pressurization - EMER DEPRESS Exits - Open (as req) FIRE handles all engines and APU - Pull Crew/pax - Notify to evacuate the aircraft
If hot brakes are suspected or main wheel well fire exists, what do you do?
Set opposite brake only or chock nose gear only
What do you do with electrical equipment if there’s been a fuel spill?
Do not turn on or off until aircraft has been cleaned/flushed to remove fuel and fuel vapors
What do you pull the engine FIRE handle and place the ENGINE START switch to STOP for during engine starts?
ENG FIRE ENG MGT HI START VLV OPEN MGT rapidly approaches or exceeds 807 Visible indications of fire Visible fluid leak near the engine
What do you place the ENGINE START switch to STOP for during an engine start?
No NG within 10 seconds No indication of oil px within 15 secs of NG and NP rotation ENG FLAMEOUT ENG NO LIGHTOFF STAGNATED START
What system px should be indicated within 30 seconds after the propeller is on speed?
Normal hydraulic system operating px
How many fire extinguishers are there?
4
How many hand axes are there?
2
How many emergency exit lights are there?
8
How many first aid kits are there?
22
How many escape ropes are there?
3
What are the two factors to consider when making the decision to abort?
- the seriousness of the malfunction or other degraded conditions
- airspeed
When are the aural alerts for most advisories and most cautions and some warnings inhibited?
during takeoff roll from 70-140 KIAS and below 400 ft radar altitude
Abort Procedure
Abort - Announce
Power Levers- GND IDLE
Brakes and NWS - as req
If you’re aborting, do not move the power levers below FLT IDLE above what airspeed and why?
139 KTAS
due to the possibility of an over frequency condition caused by excessively high propeller RPM transients leading to all engine-driven generators tripping offline.
If you’re aborting with an inboard engine shut down, when do you move the power levers below FLT IDLE and why?
not above 70 KTAS
may cause a loss of directional control
During an abort or landing, forward pressure on the yoke does what?
increases the nosewheel load and improves ground tracking
At the first indication of directional control difficulties during four engine reverse, what do you do?
immediately return all power levers to GND IDLE until the affected engine can be identified.
Use rudder, aileron, NWS, differential power and diff braking as req
If loose material is present on the runway, when do you stop reversing?
by 50 KIAS
Engine Failure Below Refusal Speed Procedure
Aborted Takeoff procedure - Perform
Engine Failure After Refusal Speed Procedure
Takeoff - Continue
Directional Control - Maintain
Aircraft Attitude - Rotate to target pitch
What are the target pitch attitude and takeoff trim setting chosen for?
So that if the critical engine fails btwn refusal and rotate speed, the aircraft will be ~ in longitudinal trim at Vobs passing 50 foot height.
Why does retracting gear and flaps simultaneously increase Vmca?
reduction in available hydraulic pressure to the rudder booster assembly
Selecting the flap lever to a position less than 15% increases Vmca by how much? and why?
36 kts
because of the reduction in rudder boost px and the ATCS power restoration schedule
What speed is the worst case Vmca with flaps up and low boost?
135 kts
What is the normal retraction schedule?
<100,000: raise flaps accelerating thru FUSS (135)
100,000-140,000: begin flap retraction when accelerating thru 135 and end at FUSS (Vobs +25kts)
> 140,000: begin raising flaps at MFRS (Vobs+5kts) in 10% increments for each 5 kts increase in airspeed ending at FUSS (Vobs + 25kts)
Engine Fire Shutdown Procedure
FIRE handle - Pull
Agent - Discharge (if req)
ENGINE START switch - STOP
How long do you wait after discharging the first bottle before discharging the second?
15 secs
APU Fire Procedure
APU Fire Handle - Pull
Agent - Discharge
What should you do in the event of a wing fire?
Close all crossfeed switches Turn off affected wing hyd pumps Close ISO Valve and Nacelle SOV Turn off all electrical equipment on that wing Turn off all Pod equipment Sideslip to keep fire away from fuselage
How should you approach hot brakes?
from the fore or aft of the wheel area
How far away should you stand from hot brakes?
300 ft
If a fire is near an oxygen component or there is a possibility that the oxygen could increase the fire, consider doing what?
closing the oxygen manual shutoff valve, provided portable oxygen bottles are adequate for the situation.
Fire/Smoke/Fumes Elimination Procedure
Crew/Pax - Notify
Oxygen - EMERGENCY, 100%, ON (ALL)
Doing what greatly assists in elimination of fire?
depressurization at altitude due to lack of oxygen
When should you conduct load shedding?
as a last resort when the malfunctioning unit cannot be located.
How many operating generators are required to restore LH and RH AC buses?
2
Rapid Decompression Procedure
OXYGEN - NORMAL, 100%, ON (ALL)
