Exposure • • • • • • • • • • 33% of accidents caused by the crew deviating from basic operational procedures. Inadequate cross check, crews not conditioned for proper response, not recognizing the need for a go around. Four critical phases of flight: Takeoff, initial climb, final approach, and landing. Having alertness at its peak. Mentally prepare yourself for takeoff. Mentally visualizing. Takeoff brief. Mentally review some of the emergencies that could occur. Become familiar with checklist items; know boldface items. Be on guard; adjust to the unexpected. Review approach chart and arrival information, be prepared for landing Stay ahead of the aircraft. Scenario • • • While on a climb out at low altitude in full IMC, one of the engines has a catastrophic failure. Additionally, there is a fire in the engine. The need to quickly address multiple issues arises. Considerations • • • • • • • First thing that needs to be done is get the airplane under control; fly the airplane. Next item will be to navigate away from any sort of terrain. A good option may be to ask ATC for a quick level off and heading to follow to avoid terrain. o Additionally, bring up the terrain function on the map. o Be aware of terrain in the area before departing. While these first steps are happening, the pilot monitoring should be running the appropriate checklist. A route for return landing should be developed, possibly radar vectors. When a free moment is had, the flight attendants and cabin should be notified on the technical malfunction and return for landing. Because there is a fire, an overweight land must be made. Lingering in the air is not practical with a fire on board.
