QRH-Preamble Flashcards
Where is the best place in the QRH to look for an unfamiliar EICAS message or a non-annunciated procedure?
QRH index. (At the end of the QRH.)
QRH procedures assume that:
- All systems were normal prior to the failure (consider MELs)
- actions are performed in the order that the procedure calls for
- system controls were in normal position (consider MELs)
- warnings and lights silenced
- memory items already completed prior to QRH (I.E. donning masks)
- circuit breakers are not reset unless procedure calls for, or PIC seems necessary.
“On the ground” QRH procedures assume:
- airplane is on the ground
- parking brake on
- all normal procedures completed
- CBs can be reset one by one or all at once
- CBs can only be reset once
- all CB resets must be approved my MX
Who delegates duties in an abnormal/emergency?
PIC
Once duties are delegated, the PF is responsible for:
- throttles
- flight path/speed
- memory items if applicable
- airplane configuration
- navigation
Once duties are delegated, the PM is responsible for:
- memory items if applicable
- reading aloud checklist
- executing required duties
- monitoring airplane
- communication
On the ground the PIC calls for QRH and SIC reads aloud the procedure. The only exceptions are:
- evacuation placard is performed by PIC
- Engine start malfunction memory items are performed by the one starting the engine (usually SIC)
It is recommended that in an abnormal/emergency, the ____ is the one flying.
SIC. This allows the PIC to direct his full attention to the procedure. (Always at the discretion of the PIC)
Who should silence/cancel a warning?
The PM. Ensure the PF is aware of why the warning exists
Who announces the specific emergency or abnormal situation?
The first one who notices it. (I.E. PF notices engine 1 FUEL LO PRESS message. PF would announce “ENGINE 1 FUEL LOW PRESSURE”
When multiple EICAS messages are shown, a root “>” message corrective action is usually completed first. If more than 1 root message is displayed, what becomes the priority order?
- ) WARNING
- ) Electrical bus messages
- ) MAU failure
Who will call for a memory item, QRC/QRH procedure verbally?
PF
On takeoff, take no action until the flight path and configuration are properly established and altitude is______
400AGL minimum, preferable 1,000AGL is situation permits.
-memory items don’t count. They are always immediate
For emergencies/abnormals that occur below flap retraction height, what will the PF do?
Fly to flap retraction height, accelerate to flap retraction speed, retract flaps, pitch up, start final climb phase, THEN call for appropriate checklist.
-again, this does not include memory items, which are always immediate.
For emergencies/abnormals that occur above flap retraction height, the PF___
Will only call for the appropriate checklist once fully diagnosing the problem. TAKE YOUR TIME. (Example: during an engine flame out on the climb, you will see ENG 1(2) OIL LO PRESS message. But you’d want to not run that procedure, instead running the ENG 1(2) FAIL procedure. Again take your time and understand the full situation
