Engine Fire or Engine Severe damage or Seperation at V1

Question 1

When can “FAILURE” be called?

Answer 1

After Gear is retracted

Question 2

When should the PF instruct the PM to “Indentify the failure?”

Answer 2

At approximately 400 feet AGL

Question 3

What is the rotation rate with OEI and to what pitch attitude?

Answer 3

2º per sec (Half of the normal rate)
13º Nose UP

This should take approximately 6-8 seconds unlike normal rotation rate which is 5 seconds

Question 4

If an engine fails at V1, what will the F/D command?

3 scenarios dependant on speed

Answer 4

1. IAS<V2 : Pitch UP to Maintain V2
2. IAS>V2 : Maintain IAS.
3. IAS>V2+20kts : Increase pitch to obtain and maintain V2+20

Slow rotation will result in scenario TWO. Fast rotation will result in scenario ONE. Normal Rotation rate with OEI is 2º p/sec up to 13º Nose up (7 seconds)

Question 5

Which direction should the rudder be trimmed?

Answer 5

Towards the live engine.

SLIP/SPIN indication gives a clue as to which engine is dead: “STEP ON THE SAIL BOAT”.

Dead leag = Dead Engine

Question 6

Explain the steps to follow after an engine failure at V1

Answer 6

1. Rotate at 2º per second up to 13º Nose up (V2+15 kts). Keep Wings S+L with rudder.
2. Wait for the “Positive Rate” call from PM.
3. Call “Gear Up”
4. Call “FAILURE”
5. At 400ft AGL, call “Indetify the failure”
6. Execute Memory items:

PF: place hand on the appropriate thrust lever and call ‘NUMBER ONE/TWO
THRUST LEVER”

PM: “CONFIRMED”
PF: “close the thrust lever.”

PM: Places their hand on the respective start lever
and awaits the call

PF: calls “NUMBER ONE or TWO
THRUST LEVER” …. “CONFIRMED, CUTOFF”

PF: calls “NUMBER ONE or TWO
THRUST LEVER” …. “CONFIRMED, CUTOFF”

If the Memory Items are commenced prior to acceleration height, acceleration should be delayed until the Memory Items are completed.

Question 7

When going through the NNC how should the PF respond to the PM’s calls for executing items?

Answer 7

PM PF
Autothrottle……… Disengage Disengaged
Thrust lever…………..Close Number one/two closed

Start lever……………..CUTOFF Number one/two CUTOFF
Engine fire switch…. Pull Number one/two pulled

Question 8

What are the 7 steps to handling an engine failure during take off?

Answer 8

1. Apply rudder to “parallel centreline”
2. Rotate
3. Wings level
4. Check IAS
5. Centre Slip/skid indicator
6. Trim if necessary
7. Engage A/P
