Quick Action Memory Items

Question 1

Emergency Descent

Answer 1

1. Announce the emergency descent. The pilot flying will advise the cabin crew, (‘ATTENTION, THIS IS THE CAPTAIN. EMERGENCY DESCENT’) on the PA system, of impending rapid descent. The pilot monitoring will advise ATC and obtain the area altimeter setting.
2. Passenger signs - ON
3. Without delay, descend to the lowest safe altitude or 10,000 feet, whichever is higher.
4. ENGINE START switches (both) - CONT
5. Thrust levers (both) - Reduce thrust to minimum or as needed for anti-ice
6. Speedbrake - FLIGHT DETENT
7. Set target speed to Mmo/Vmo
   * * If structural integrity is in doubt, limit speed as much as possible and avoid high maneuvering loads.

Question 2

Cabin Altitude Warning

Answer 2

1. Don oxygen masks and set regulators to 100%.
2. Establish crew communications

4. Outflow VALVE switch - Hold in CLOSE until the outflow VALVE indication shows fully closed

If cabin altitude is uncontrollable

5. Passenger signs - ON
6. PASS OXYGEN switch - ON
