INTRODUCTION
The source document for all procedures contained herein is the
approved Airplane Flight Manual (AFM). In the event that any
procedure disagrees with the AFM, the AFM will prevail. In the event
that any of the procedures are missing or unusable, operations may be
continued provided the approved AFM is available for use.
This Section provides the emergency and abnormal procedures to be
performed in case of a system malfunction or failure, in order to
protect passengers and/or crew from serious harm and to maintain the
airworthiness of the airplane.
Some procedures require a landing at the nearest suitable airport.
Such information is provided with the intent of establishing that the
flight should be terminated at the pilot's discretion. It is the pilot’s
responsibility to use good judgement concerning the time and place to
land, as well as to evaluate factors such as airplane condition,
weather, etc.
The decision to reject takeoff should be considered if any undesirable
event occurs.
However, it is emphasized that for fire or smoke that cannot be
positively located and extinguished, an immediate descent, landing
and passenger evacuation should be performed.
The procedures are presented as follows:
−
The actions contained in a box are vital actions. They must be
performed expeditiously and from memory to minimize hazards.
The other actions should be performed as soon as the condition
permits.
−
All the actions must be performed in the order given.
Procedures contained herein assume that:
−
It is normal crew action to confirm the message by the following
procedures:
1. Calling associated system page on MFD and checking
system parameters.
2. If the MFD is not available, checking the messages for both
sides of the failed system, when applicable.
−
Airplane systems are operating normally prior to the failure.
−
Normal procedures have been properly accomplished.
