Abnormal and Emergency Procedures Manual

 Chapter1: Checklist Instructions

The checklists are organized into chapters alphabetically by aircraft

system or by type of Abnormal or Emergency Procedure. Each procedure
is listed in the Table of contents at the beginning of the corresponding
chapter.
The procedures presented in this manual are based on the best information
available. Pilots should follow these procedures as long as they apply to the
situation. If at any time the established procedures prove to be inadequate or
no longer apply, the Crew's best judgment shall prevail.
Throughout this document, the boxes (shown below) indicate either
Emergency Procedures (Black Box), or Non-Normal Procedures (Grey Box).

EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

NON-NORMAL PROCEDURE

Memory items (if applicable to the procedure) are contained in a

single box and presented in the order of accomplishment.

When the PM is utilizing a procedure, it is recommended the PF utilize the

highest level of automation available at that time and handle ATC
communication duties until the procedure has been completed by the PM.
This is on a workload permitting basis only.

Duplicate Items

Checklist items that have duplicate (e.g., #1/#2 or Left/Right) systems,

switches, levers, etc., will be preceded by a blank underlined space. In such a
case, the Pilot referring to the item or reading the checklist shall substitute the
number of the affected system, switch, lever, etc.
Example: The associated Aux Pump must be turned off when securing the left
engine. Checklist reads:
AUX PUMP........................................................................................ OFF
Pilot reading checklist states: ―Number one aux pump, off.‖

Checklist Instructions Instructions-1

Confirmation and Command Items

Whenever an applicable procedural item is a Power Lever, Condition Lever, or

PULL/FUEL HYD OFF handle, the PM shall confirm the correct lever/handle
with the PF prior to initiating the procedural item.
Example:
Prior to shutting down the #1 engine, the PM shall touch the correct lever/
handle, state the correct handle/lever, (ex. #1―Power Lever‖), at which point
the PF will confirm lever/handle and state,‖Confirmed‖. Once the proper lever/
handle has been confirmed by the PF, the PM shall state and complete the
procedural item.

WARNING

The PF must visually confirm the affected engine or

system following the initial malfunction callout. Failure
to do so may result in the inadvertent shutdown of the
operating engine or system.

The accomplishment of certain checklist items may require the transfer of

control of the aircraft to the other Pilot until the particular item can be
accomplished.

Warnings, Cautions, and Notes

All advisory items will be read aloud. Exception: when reading a procedure,
if an advisory item does not apply to the existing condition, it need not be read
aloud. Simply state ―Not applicable‖, and continue to the next applicable
checklist item.

Condition Statement

Some checklist procedures will present the Pilot with alternatives for
completing the checklist. This situation occurs when the outcome of a checklist
item is not predictable (e.g., ―Did the smoke stop after turning off the Bleed
switch?‖). The Pilot conducting the checklist must decide which of the
checklist choices to complete, or if the items are applicable, based upon the
outcome of previous steps. If possible, the decision is based on a ―YES‖/―NO‖
answer. These ―Condition Statements‖ are identified with arrow lines that take
the checklist reader to one action, or another. An example of this is shown
below:

Checklist Instructions Instructions-2

As is shown above, the Crewmember performing the checklist will follow the
arrow to the alternative action appropriate to the condition. Alternative items
are performed, when required, by reference to the checklist. Dashed arrows
indicate a secondary conditional decision to be made.

End Statements

An ----END---- statement within a checklist indicates all actions appropriate to

the existing condition have been accomplished by reaching this point in the
checklist. This is a stopping point for this checklist, where no further action is
required and no further checklist items are to be read. See the example above.

Land Immediately at Nearest Suitable Airport

Procedures pertaining to engine failures, fumes/smoke/fire, known aircraft

damage, controllability issues, life-threatening passenger or Crewmember
illness, and failures or malfunctions of systems or components critical for the
safety of flight shall use the term ―land immediately at nearest suitable
airport‖. These circumstances require landing at the nearest suitable airport in
point of time. When landing ―immediately at nearest suitable airport‖,
consideration shall NOT be given to passenger handling or convenience, or to
the availability of maintenance or ground handling unless the two airports are
equidistant in time from the aircraft's current location. The only considerations
when selecting an airport are weather, runway availability, and ARFF
equipment available at the airport of intended landing.

– The flight may continue to the destination, return to point of
departure or the nearest airport where maintenance services are
available, as appropriate. (Coordinate with Dispatch/SOC.)
NOTE:
1. During overspeed governor control, an increase in

2. With Power Levers in the RATING DETENT, the
TRQ indication will be less than the displayed torque
rating.

Landing Considerations:
• DO NOT retard POWER Levers below FLT IDLE on landing and
during taxi, as propellers will feather.
• Anticipate greater than normal braking requirements due to
increased propeller thrust at FLT IDLE setting.
NOTE:
During the landing roll, propellers will decrease to approximately

Supplemental System Resets

A successful or unsuccessful reset must be entered in the aircraft Flight
Log.
After a successful or unsuccessful reset, the Pilot In Command will enter
the discrepancy under the Flight Log‘s ―Mechanical Discrepancy‖
column. Example:
Flap Power caution light illuminated. Signed by PIC (Name and
Employee number)
After a successful reset, the PIC will enter the corrective action under
the corrective action column. Example:
―Identified as a Nuisance Advisory Message per Chapter 14
―Supplemental System Resets‖. Clearing action accomplished, no
further discrepancy noted. Signed by Pilot In Command (Name and
Employee number).
After an unsuccessful reset, the PIC will contact SOC for further
assistance. If the discrepancy can not be deferred (MEL), the aircraft
will be returned to the gate for maintenance action.

General
Where corrective action to the affected system, has not been
implemented through a modification and/or Service Bulletin, the
following procedures provide the means to reset specific nuisance
caution lights, advisory messages or system faults. The following
general procedures MUST be adhered to in order to ensure the continued
safe operation of the aircraft:

• These procedures may only be used during ground operations unless

there is a note that specifically states that the procedure may be
performed in flight;

• Any procedure detailing the reset (pull out and push in) of circuit
breakers may only be used one time for each nuisance indication; and

• If these procedures are not sufficient to clear the nuisance indication,

then the MEL must be used if applicable, or the problem must be
rectified prior to aircraft dispatch.
