    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

    • 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.
