ATR 72 PEC Flight Crew Training Manual – Emergency and abnormal procedures
Introduction
This Flight Crew Training Manual (FCTM) is based on manuals published by the aircraft manufacturer
and operational experience. This FCTM shall only be used for training.

This FCTM consists of three documents:


1. NORM – Normal procedures: Multi crew concept matters, such as standard callouts,
mutual control and task sharing, as well as normal procedures.
2. EMER – Emergency and abnormal procedures: Failure treatment concept and various
emergency and abnormal situations that requires actions by memory (this document).
3. PATT – Flow patterns and flight patterns: Charts and diagrams showing flow patterns in
the cockpit and flight patterns. This document shall be used in parallel with the two
other documents.

This FCTM is issued for the following versions of ATR 42 and 72:
Group Versions
ATR 42 no PEC ATR 42-300 ATR 42-320
ATR 42 PEC ATR 42-400 ATR 42-500

ATR 72 PEC Flight Crew Training Manual – Emergency and abnormal procedures
Single engine flight
When an engine fails or is shut down, single engine performance
comes into consideration.
PF
Power – Performance – Procedure
Fly
Set PL to the notch and PWR MGT to MCT to
ensure adequate power before applying a
procedure. Crosscheck
When at low speed for example during climb, level off (select ALT
mode on AFCS), as a windmilling propeller creates a lot of drag
before it is feathered.
PM
When at high altitude, use IAS mode (drift down if necessary).
Monitor
In icing conditions it may be necessary to set flaps 15, but it should
be avoided when possible.

For approach can the aircraft be flown with same configurations


and speeds as when all engines are operating.

Note that a feathered propeller creates less drag than an operating


propeller in Flight Idle.

System check
After the failure is identified, the crew memers will analyse the situation:
1) PF call: «Check system»
2) PM check: 3) PM call: «System checked»
• Can the system be reset? • Additional information may be that the circuit
• Is the circuit breaker tripped? breaker is out, the hydraulic pressure is zero,
• What is the power source for this system? etc.
• Do the light bulbs/digits work?

Example: PACK VALVE FAULT


• The system can be reset (single amber light in pb) FAULT
• The circuit breaker is behind CM2
• The pack valve is powered by bleed air and electrically controlled (check bleed)

Example: AC BUS 1 OFF


• The system can not be reset (amber light outside a pushbutton)
• The circuit breaker is behind CM2
• AC BUS 1 is powered by INV 1

Example: Hydraulic BLUE PUMP LO LVL


• LO LVL indicates a leak
• LO PR is a consequence of LO LVL
• The hydraulic pressure indicator confirms this
• The system can not be restored
Issue 3 Jun 2013 © ETOPS For training only 11
ATR 72 PEC Flight Crew Training Manual – Emergency and abnormal procedures
Reset policy
System reset policy
The flight crew may perform one reset of a system failure associated with a single
amber caution in the pushbutton alone (FAULT, LO PR or SHED).

The following failures should not or can not not be reset:


• LO LVL, LEAK or OVHT (hydraulic and bleed air) FAULT
• BUS OFF, DC GEN FAULT or ACW GEN FAULT
• PEC FAULT or EEC FAULT, except when following the checklist

Note: In case of double DC GEN FAULT is the procedure to reset both generators
and leave them ON.

When reset is successful:


Make a record in the maintenance log.
Note: It is important to inform maintenance about successful resets, as repetive
failures may indicate that a more serious problem is developing.

Circuit breaker reset policy


The flight crew may re-engage a tripped circuit breaker once, but only if they
judge it is necessary for a safe continuation of the flight.

On the ground can the circuit breaker be re-engaged in coordination with maintenance.

Memo items
General
Memo (memory) items are a flow of actions that
has to be performed by the flight crew.
Memo items are performed by CM1 on ground
and by PM in flight (except that PF has PL).
Memo items must be known by heart.
Memo items are boxed inside the checklist.
When the landing gear is up and the aircraft is at
least 400 feet above the airport, and under
positive control, PF orders "xxx MEMO ITEMS"
The only exemption for this rule is for an engine
flame out at take-off, where PM will perform the
first part of memory items without PF order:
• Positive rate, gear up
• Check uptrim
• Check autofeather
• Check two bleed FAULT lights

ATR 72 PEC Flight Crew Training Manual – Emergency and abnormal procedures
Use of checklists (1:2)
General
• Checklists for emergency and abnormal situations are found in QRH.
• FCOM 2.04 and 2.05 contains additional information which can be 72.212A
read when time permits (and for preparation for training).
• Except for memory actions, the checklists are read-and-do.

Conditions
• A black dot highlights WHEN an action has to be applied
• A black square highlights that a preconditon – IF – has to be fulfilled
before an action has to be applied. PM will announce «YES OR NO?»
at the end of the item to help PF’s decision.

Use of emergency and abnormal checklists
• In most cases can the checklist title be found by reading the label and
indication, for example PACK VALVE FAULT. 72.212A
• The checklist is requested by PF.
• PM opens the QRH, finds the checklist and shows it to PF.
• PF confirms the checklist.
• PM read one line at the time and ask for confirmation for all actions
(except for memory actions that already have been executed).
• PF confirms the actions.
• PM executes the actions.
• When the checklist is completed, PM calls «checklist completed».
• PF sums up the failure and announces: «Clear the CAP.»
• PM press CLR on CAP.

Sum up, decision and information
Once the checklist is completed, PF sums up the situation (T-O-C):
1. Technical assessment:
• Consider consequences of the failure (performance, electrical,
pressurisation, hydraulics, ice protection, fuel, etc.)
2. Operational assessment:
• Consider the possibility to land at destination or alternate airport
(degraded systems).
3. Commercial assessment:
• Consider passengers and crew casualities, and in case of a diversion,
capcity to bring passengers back to the destination.

After the assessment, PF suggests a decision, validated by the commander.

PM then inform, if necessary:


• ATC
• Cabin crew
• Passengers
• Company operations

Both engines flame-out
Such an event is most likely to happen in case of fuel starvation or fuel
contamination.
One engine may flame-out before the other engine, changing an abnormal
situation into an emergency.
The definite indication of an engine flame-out is that NH drops below 30 %.
When the second engine fails, the aircraft is only powered by the batteries.
CM1 is therefore PF.

Emergency descent

General
The aircraft has during certification
demonstrated that it can descent from
FL250 to FL130 in 4 minutes or less.
Automatic deployment of passenger
oxygen masks are therefore not
mandatory, unless the flight is conducted
above high terrain.
Scenario 1: Rapid decompression with structural damage.
• Reduce the speed to 170 kt (Vlo), extend the landing gear
and then increase the speed to 185 kt (Vle).
Scenario 2: Rapid decompression without structural damage.
• Descent at Vmo/Mmo (max 250 kt).
Scenario 3: Slow decompression without structural damage.
• Descent at Vmo/Mmo (max 250 kt).
• Monitor cabin altitude. Oxygen is only required when the
cabin altitude exceeds 13,000 feet.

Recovery from stall or abnormal roll control
Stall can occur at any speed and at any aircraft
attitude. Stall is a result of excessive angle of
attack, which is a result of too low speed for a
given wing loading.
The stick shaker is the first line of defence.
Activation of the stick shaker disengages the
autopilot.
When the stick shaker activates, take control
and push the control wheel.
Ice accumulation on the wing reduces the
critical angle of attack. When the ICING AOA

Unreliable airspeed indication
Loss of reliable airspeed indication may be a
result of clogging of the pitot-static system
and/or ADC failure.
Clogging of the pitot system alone will lead to
erratic airspeed indication or loss of airspeed

Clogging of the static system results in a frozen
altimeter, zero VSI indication and erratic
airspeed indication (the error increases rapidly
with altitude change):
• Climb: IAS increases
• Descent: IAS reduces

Volcanic ash encounter
Volcanic ash consists of small particles of volcanic
rock with sharp edges and sulphurous gases. The
ash-cloud can spread over a huge area in short
time. The ash is not visible on weather radar and
may look like normal clouds. Flight into an ash
cloud may present the following hazards:
• It is harmful to breathe.
• It contains glassy materials, which melts in the
combustion chamber. The molten glass can
coat the fuel nozzles and the turbine.
• It can clog the pitot tubes.
• It can «sandblast» windscreen, compressors
and propellers.
Indications
• Acrid odor (similar to sulphur)
• Rapid onset of engine problems
• Airspeed fluctuation
• St Elmo’s fire
• Landing lights casting sharp, distinct shaddow

MFC fault
Indication
• MC + SC
FAULT FAULT
• MFC on CAP
CAUTION
• Local alert: MFC FAULT
• Various systems failures

MFC failure may lead to unusual indications,


such as local oil low pressure warning when the
engine is shut down.
Loss of a single module will lead to loss of some
systems and alerts. However, the aircraft may
be dispatched according to MEL.
Loss of more than one module will lead to a
more serious situation as several systems and
alerts are lost.
Note: It is important to follow the procedure in
QRH, as some alerts associated to the lost
systems are lost as well.
