Study Notes

Non-Normal Operations Overview

Covers procedures and guidelines for handling non-normal situations in flight operations.
Organized into protocols for troubleshooting, approaches, landing, evacuation, engine issues, and flight control malfunctions.

Non-Normal Situation Guidelines

Include detailed strategies for troubleshooting abnormal conditions.
Emphasizes the importance of early preparation for approach and landing.
Describes protocols for landing at the nearest suitable airport.

Ditching Procedures

Send distress signals promptly and inform crew and passengers.
Prepare passenger cabin and manage fuel burn-off before ditching.
Initiate evacuation efficiently after landing in the water.

Engine and APU Issues

Address indications of engine oil system and engine failure vs. fire.
Details on handling dual engine failure, severe damage, and bird strikes.
Procedures for in-flight engine shutdown provided.

Evacuation Protocols

Methods for effective evacuation during emergencies.
Instructions on discharging fire bottles to ensure safety.

Flight Controls Malfunctions

Procedures for leading edge or trailing edge device malfunctions, including flap and slat issues.
Use of EICAS messages to diagnose failures in hydraulic drives for flaps.
Techniques for managing control when flight controls are jammed.

Landing Techniques

Strategies for landing with malfunctioning flight controls, emphasizing rudder and aileron assistance.
Importance of establishing proper bank angles and configurations ahead of landing.

Control Response and Go-Around Procedures

Avoid go-arounds if elevator is suspected to be jammed.
Recognize abnormal body attitudes and adjust thrust settings accordingly.
Memory items for pitch and thrust settings to maintain aircraft control during airspeed discrepancies.

Fuel Leak Detection

Common fuel leaks originate from engine lines; significant tank leaks are rare due to wing structure.
No specific fuel leak alert on the flight deck; discrepancies in fuel consumption signal potential leaks.
Checklist considerations for suspected fuel leaks, including imbalances and abnormal fuel flow indications.
