ABNORMAL AND EMERGENCY PROCEDURES Flashcards
(65 cards)
AUTO FLT FMS 1+2 FAULT.
What are the resources available to the crew for flying and navigation?
- The AP/FD and A/THR remain available in SPEED / V/S / HDG mode.
- The ND displays the BACKUP TRAJ (range max 160NM).
- The ISIS
If the FMC system reset is unsuccessful, the flight crew should tune the NAVAIDS via the RMP.
How is the FCU BKUP page of the MFD activated, and what alerts may occur?
- Automatically: During a detected FCU failure, with alerts like AUTO FLT AFS CTL PNL FAULT or CDS CAPT(F/O)(CAPT + F/O) EFIS CTL PNL FAULT.
- Manually: When the flight crew detects a malfunction and selects the appropriate FCU BKUP page on the MFD.
NOTE: the ZOOM function and the TAXI Pb are not available
ENGINE ABN
In event of an abnormal engine response during flight, the flight crew should always consider to shut down the affected engine.
FALSE. Except when a procedure requires an engine shutdown, it is usually preferable to keep the engine running. Even at idle, the engine powers the hydraulic, electric, and bleed systems.
Before approach, if the engine response remains abnormal, the flight crew decides to keep the engine running or to shut it down taking into account the aircraft controllability and the flight conditions.
ENGINE ABN
What are common indicators of engine damage that the ECAM system may display?
Engine damage is generally accompanied by:
• Loud noise • Significant increase in aircraft vibrations • Repeated or uncontrolled engine stalls • Associated abnormal indications such as loss of N1, N2, or N3 indications
ENGINE ABN
Is the THR parameter set to 0 considered an indicator of engine damage?
No, the THR parameter set to 0 will not be considered as an indicator of engine damage
ENGINE ABN
What symptoms should the flight crew observe to consider an engine damaged?
The flight crew should observe two or more of the following symptoms:
• Rapid increase of the EGT above the red line • Significant mismatch of the rotor speeds, or absence of rotation • Significant increase in aircraft vibrations, or buffeting, or both vibrations and buffeting • Abnormal engine oil pressure, or temperature • Hydraulic system loss • Repeated, or not controllable engine stalls
ENGINE FAILURE AFTER V1.
How does the aircraft’s control system compensate for a failed engine to maintain yaw efficiency at takeoff?
In the event of an engine failure, the aircraft’s control system may deflect ailerons and spoilers on the wing opposite to the failed engine to increase yaw efficiency.
Additionally, the lateral normal law detects thrust asymmetry and commands rudder surface deflection to minimize sideslip; however, this rudder command does not provide feedback to the rudder pedals.
ENG FAILURE AFTER V1.
At VR, the flight crew should rotate the aircraft using a continuous pitch rate of approximately 3°/s towards an initial pitch attitude of ________ , then follow the SRS, which commands a speed between ____ and ____ knots.
10°
V2 and V2+15
ENGINE FAILURE AT TAKEOFF.
In the event of an engine failure during takeoff, if it’s not possible to center the beta target by applying full rudder, what should the flight crew do?
The flight crew should accelerate to a speed where the rudder becomes effective in centering the beta target.
ENGINE ABN
What does “secure the engine” entail?
“Secure the engine” means completing the ECAM procedure until:
• “ENG MASTER OFF” for an engine failure without damage.
• “AGENT 1 DISCH” for an engine failure with damage.
• Fire extinguished or “AGENT 2 DISCH” for an engine fire.
ENGINE FAILURE AT TAKEOFF
At the Engine-Out (EO) acceleration altitude, the flight crew should press the ………. pushbutton to level off and enable the speed to increase.

Fill in the banks.
During an engine failure at takeoff, when the ………… reaches green dot speed, the flight crew should:

ENGINE ABN
In the event of an engine failure during cruise, what strategy should the flight crew use if no specific procedure has been established before dispatch?
The standard strategy - 0.85/300kts
ENGINE ABN
Fill in the blanks: During cruise with engine failure, the STANDARD STRATEGY involves the following actions:
- Setting a speed target of ………..to ensure the aircraft is within the stabilized windmill engine relight in-flight envelope.
- Monitoring the EO MAX FL, which equates to the LRC Engine-Out maximum FL with anti-icing …….., displayed on the ……….
- Selecting ……… and turning …….. on when the V/S becomes less than 500 ft/min.
- M 0.85/300 kt.
- OFF ; MFD PERF page
- V/S -500 ft/min and turning A/THR

Engine Failure in Cruise: Immediate Actions.
What are the PF’s initial actions when an engine failure is recognized?
- Set all thrust levers to MCT.
- Disconnect A/THR.
- Set an appropriate HDG and pull.
- Determine the engine out recovery altitude.
When ready for descent:
- Set the speed 0.85/300kts and Pull for Standard Strategy.
- Keep managed speed for Obstacle Strategy.
- Set the engine out recovery altitude and pull to engage OP DES.
Initiate the Ecam actions ( order)
ENGINE ABN
What are the initial actions for the PF during an engine-out situation in cruise with OBSTACLE STRATEGY?
- Set all thrust levers to MCT.
- Disconnect A/THR.
- Set an appropriate HDG and pull.
- Determine the engine out recovery altitude (drift down ceiling is displayed on CRZ panel - MFD PERF page).
- Maintain managed speed (automatically set to Green Dot).
- Set the engine out recovery altitude .
- Pull to engage OP DES.
DO NOT DECELERATE BELOW GD.
ENGINE STALL
What are the symptoms of an engine stall during takeoff at high power settings?
Audible:
Thrust:
Engine parameters:
Vibrations:
Visual:
Smell:
- Audible: One or more loud bangs (similar to a shotgun fired nearby).
- Thrust: Instant loss of thrust or reverse thrust causing yaw movement.
- Engine Parameters: Fluctuations in N1, N2, or N3, giving the impression of “pumping.”
- EGT: Increase in exhaust gas temperature (EGT).
- Vibrations: Noticeable engine vibrations.
- Visual: Flames visible from the engine inlet or tailpipe.
- Smell: Acrid odor detectable in the cockpit.
ENGINE STALL
What are the symptoms of an engine stall during cruise or at low power settings (e.g., thrust reduction at T/D)?
Audible:
Thust response:
Engine parameters:
Vibrations:
Smell:
- Audible: One or more muffled bangs.
- Thrust Response: Slow or no response to thrust lever inputs.
- Engine Parameters: Fluctuations in N1, N2, or N3, giving the impression of “pumping.”
- EGT: Increase in exhaust gas temperature (EGT).
- Vibrations: Noticeable engine vibrations.
- Smell: Acrid odor detectable in the cockpit.
ENG STALL
What are the main flight crew’s actions to stabilize a stalled engine?
- Stabilize Aircraft Trajectory.
- Reduce Thrust: Set thrust to idle on the affected engine.
- Select Anti-Ice ON.
- Check Engine Stability:
Monitor N1, EGT, N2, and N3 on the WD.
Check engine vibrations on the ENG SD page.
ENG STALL
When should the flight crew shut down the engine after a stall?
The engine should be shut down in the events of:
- Fluctuations in engine parameters, high EGT, or engine vibrations persist.
- Symptoms of the engine stall persist at idle thrust.
ENG STALL
What should the flight crew do if engine parameters return to normal after a stall?
- Advance Thrust Levers Slowly: Ensure the stall does not reoccur.
- If Stall Reoccurs:
- Keep thrust below the stall threshold.
- Do not shut down the engine if the stall can be avoided.
- Manually control thrust between idle and the stall threshold for the rest of the flight.
- If Stall Does Not Reoccur: Resume normal engine operation.
ENGINE TAIL PIPE FIRE
What are the flight crew’s priorities and actions in the case of a tail pipe fire?
Priorities:
1. Stop fuel flow.
2. Ventilate the engine.
Crew Actions:
- Apply the ENG TAIL PIPE FIRE non sensed procedure .
- Do not use the ENG FIRE pb or fire extinguisher, as it does not extinguish an internal engine fire.
- If the Fire Persists: As a last option, the ground crew can use a ground fire extinguisher.
ENGINE VIBRATIONS
Do high engine vibrations alone require an in-flight engine shutdown?
No, high engine vibrations alone do not require an in-flight engine shutdown.
ENGINE VIBRATIONS
What should the flight crew suspect if N1 vibrations occur without other engine parameter variations?
The flight crew should suspect icing if N1 vibrations occur without other engine parameter variations.
Apply the ENG 1(2) HIGH VIBRATIONS procedure, if flight conditions permit.
