Emergency Flows — Personal Study Notes


Failure Management — OMB/FCTM Framework

Flow

PF PM
"Master warning/caution" (cancel alert)
e.g. airpack → "xxx on FWS" (Flight Warning System)
"Check" "xxx fault" — identify EVENT type:
Control / Indication / Supply / CB / Lighting
"My radios, system check" SD page check → circuit breaker reset?
"System checked, xxx failure confirmed"
e.g. "Single pack valve fault C/L" "Pack valve affected side OFF"
"Pack valve 2?"
"Confirmed" "Off"
"C/L complete"
→ "Landing status"
"Check status" e.g. "Status: pack fault, no map function"

Failure Management — Guillermo's Framework

Initial Call and Check

Role Action
PM "Master caution + ___ on FWS + local alert"
PF "Check, check system" → breaker/reset if applicable
PM "System checked, failure confirmed"
PF (call for C/L)
PM Landing status
PF STATUS =

TDODAR (from status assessment)

From STATUS → communicate to: PAX, CC → NITS, ATC, Company

ABN vs Emergency

ABN EMERGENCY
Check system Memory items
C/L "Memory items complete"
STS
TDODAR

Both end with: Clear FWS + radios

PM: "Clear FWS + my radios"


On Ground Engine Fire

CM1 CM2
"STOP, STOP" "Engine fire"
"My steering" "Lo pitch"
Set parking brake (to ATC) "Mayday, Mayday, Mayday"
"On ground engine fire memory items" (on PA) "Attention, cabin crew to stations"
"70 kts"
CL 1+2 → Fuel S/O
Fire handle (affected engine) → PULL
Agent 1 (affected engine) → DISCHARGE
(in 30 seconds)
Agent 2 → DISCHARGE
"On ground engine fire memory items complete"
"On ground engine fire checklist" (do CL as required)
Do CL as challenge, action, response "On ground engine fire C/L complete"
"Is emergency evacuation required, Yes or No?"

Windshear

Take-Off (PF is flying)

PF PM
"Windshear, set power" FD bars STBY
Pitch 10° (ignore FD) PL to range/wall
PL to range/wall Verify actions
Maintain configuration Monitor profile
Gear up
Resume normal climb

Approach (Go-Around)

PF PM
"Windshear, go around" FD bars STBY
Pitch 10° PL to range/wall
PL to range/wall Verify actions
Maintain configuration Monitor profile
(Ground go-around if needed)

Note: NOT 100% on ground go-around — verify current procedure


Rejected Take-Off

CM1 CM2
"STOP, STOP" "Low pitch" / "No reverse"
PL to ground idle "Loganair xxx stopping on runway"
Control column push "70 kts"
Brakes as required (hold controls into wind until stopped)
Reverse if required
"My steering" (NWS)
Parking brake set
FWS RCL
Assess situation (evacuate?)

70 kts — CM2 call, below this no reverse, hold controls into wind


TCAS

TA phase: "Traffic, traffic"

TA — PM / PF

PM PF
"Traffic in sight / not visual" Check TCAS display
"3 o'clock, 1500ft below"

RA — PM / PF

PM PF
"LOCXX TCAS RA" "My controls"
Seat belts ON Autopilot OFF
CLS 100% Pitch to green sector
Push MCT → MCT PL as required
FD to STBY

Note: CLS 100% is PM action during TCAS RA only — not windshear

Clear of Conflict

PM PF
"LOCXX, clear of conflict, resuming FL..." "Clear of conflict"
Resume intended FL (A/P on)

EGPWS

PM PF
CL 100% Power → go around
Push MCT → TO (MCT) AP disconnect
Seat belts ON Pitch to stick shaker
FD → STBY
Power adjust, call out RA height

EFATO — Engine Failure After Take-Off

At V1 cut: Stand on heading, full rudder → centre the ball, full MCT, full trim, pitch 8°

Memory Items — Check in Order (1→6)

# Check Notes
1 Uptrim? Should auto-apply
2 Autofeather? Should trigger — if not → manual feathering
3 Gear up Call when positive climb
4 Bleed fault illuminated? Expected — acknowledge
5 Taxi light off
6 Yaw damper ON Tricky YD

No PLHZ torque during memory items

PM / PF Callouts

PM PF
"Engine failure" "Engine flameout at take-off, memory items"
No PLHZ torque
Cockpit security
"Mayday Mayday Mayday, STBY"
AMFI sequence (see below)
