A. Aborted Engine Start
ENGINE START LEVER (affected engine) - CUTOFF
B. Airspeed Unreliable
AIRPLANE ATTITUDE / THRUST - ADJUST
Maintain airplane control. Attitude & thrust information provide in Performance-Inflight section
PITOT STATIC HEAT - CHECK ON
MACH / AIRSPEED INDICATORS - CROSS CHECK
C. Cabin Altitude Warning or Rapid Depressurization
OXYGEN MASKS - DON
OXYGEN REGULATORS - Set to 100%
CREW COMMUNICATIONS - ESTABLISH
PRESSURIZATION MODE SELECTOR - MAN AC/MAN
OUTFLOW VALVE SWITCH - CLOSE
Hold in CLOSE until outflow Valve indicates fully closed
If Pressurization is Not Controllable
PASSENGER SIGNS - ON
PASSENGER OXYGEN SWITCH - ON
If cabin altitude exceeds or is expected to exceed 14,000 feet
Emergency Descent Checklist
Carry out an emergency descent if cabin pressure cannot be controlled above 14,000 feet or a rapid descent is needed.
D. Emergency Descent
EMERGENCY DESCENT - ANNOUNCE
The pilot flying will advise the cabin crew, on PA system, of impending rapid descent. The pilot monitoring will advise ATC and obtain area altimeter setting.
PASSENGERS SIGN - ON
DESCENT - INITIATE
Without delay, descend to the lowest safe altitude or 10,000 feet, whichever is higher.
ENGINE START SWITCHES (both) - CONT
THRUST LEVERS (both) - REDUCE
Reduce thrust to minimum or as required for anti-ice
SPEED BRAKE - FLIGHT DETENT
TARGET SPEED - MMO / VMO
If structural integrity is in doubt, limit speed as much as possible and avoid high maneuvering loads
E. Engine Fire or Engine Severe Damage or Separation
AUTOTHROTTLE (if engaged) - DISENGAGE
THRUST LEVER (affected engine) - CONFIRM - CLOSE
ENGINE START LEVER (affected engine) - CONFIRM - CUTOFF
ENGINE FIRE SWITCH - CONFIRM - PULL
To manually unlock the engine fire switch, press the override and pull
If the engine fire switch or ENG OVERHEAT light stays illuminated
ENGINE FIRE SWITCH - ROTATE
Rotate to the stop and hold for one second
If after 30 seconds the engine fire switch or ENG OVERHEAT light stays illuminated
ENGINE FIRE SWITCH - ROTATE
Rotate to the other stop and hold for one second
F. Engine Limit / Surge / Stall
AUTOTHROTTLE (if engaged) - DISENGAGE
THRUST LEVER (affected engine) - CONFIRM - RETARD
Retard until indications remain within limits or thrust lever is closed
G. Engine Overheat
AUTOTHROTTLE (if engaged) - DISENGAGE
THRUST LEVER (affected engine) - CONFIRM - CLOSE
If the ENG OVERHEAT light stays illuminated
ENGINE START LEVER (affected engine) - CONFIRM - CUTOFF
ENGINE FIRE SWITCH - CONFIRM - PULL
To manually unlock the engine fire switch, press the override and pull
If the engine fire switch or ENG OVERHEAT light stays illuminated
ENGINE FIRE SWITCH - ROTATE
Rotate to the stop and hold for one second
If after 30 seconds the engine fire switch or ENG OVERHEAT light stays illuminated
ENGINE FIRE SWITCH - ROTATE
Rotate to the other stop and hold for one second
H. Loss of Thrust on Both Engines
ENGINE START SWITCHES (both) - FLT
ENGINE START LEVERS (both) - CUTOFF
EGT decreasing
ENGINE START LEVERS (both) - IDLE DETENT
If EGT reaches 930oC or no increase in EGT within 30 seconds:
ENGINE START LEVER (affected engine) - CONFIRM - CUTOFF - IDLE DETENT
If EGT again reaches 930oC or no increase in EGT within 30 seconds:
Repeat as Needed
I. Runaway Stabilizer
CONTROL COLUMN - HOLD FIRMLY
AUTOPILOT (if engaged) - DISENGAGE
Do not re-engage the autopilot. Control airplane pitch attitude manually with control column and main electric trim as needed
If the Runaway Continues
STAB TRIM CUTOUT SWITCHES (both) - CUTOUT
If the Runaway Continues
STABILIZER TRIM WHEEL - GRASP and HOLD
J. Uncommanded Roll
AUTOPILOT (if engaged) - DISENGAGE
AIRPLANE CONTROL - MAINTAIN
Maintain control of the airplane with all available flight controls. If roll is uncontrollable, immediately reduce pitch/angle of attack and increase airspeed. Do not attempt to maintain altitude until control is recovered
AUTO THROTTLE (if engaged) - DISENGAGE
THRUST - VERIFY SYMMETRICAL
K. APU Fire
APU FIRE SWITCH - CONFIRM - PULL - ROTATE
Rotate to the stop and hold for 1 second
APU Switch - OFF
L. Overspeed - Warning Clacker
Reduce airspeed to less than VMO/MMO by:
