Engines
Your right engine is on fire, what should you do as a captain?
Locate a red flashing button to distinguish the fire, beware, you can't restart the engine(s)
Your plane's left engine won't restart. What would you do?
Check the controls for any info on the engine. If it says NF, try to transfer fuel on the other wing. If the engine overheats when it is restarted, immediately pull power on the engine to idle.
Pilots tell you that we will land. What will you do?
Take the standard measures before we leave cruising altitude for descent.
The plane is descending a little fast, what will you do?
Let the flight attendant know. Maybe the flight attendant could warn the pilots
The plane is climbing so high that you get forced down to the ground, what do you do?
Keep your seatbelt fastened, it is dangerous to take it off when the ascent rate is so high.
The right engine is running slowly when thrust levers are higher, what can the captain do?
Land immediately and declare a pan call. If it gets worse, declare a mayday call
The airplane is in bad weather. You must land, there are microbursts nearby. What can you do?
Adjust your course and try to go around the storm. Alert your passengers too!
Pilots are telling you that there is a problem with one of the engines. What will you do?
You should take the standard measures: seatbelt fastened, tray table up, and window blind open.
The plane won't descent, you need to land soon, what will you do?
Try to reduce speed and let the plane slowly fall, let the speed up a little during landing.
The plane is climbing of an ascent rate of 7,000 fpm. The plane is low on speed, what should the captain do?
Give all of the engines full power and point the nose down to start regaining speed. Then resume your ascent at a lower ascent rate.
Remain your current altitude, start the standard procedure, when you are closer to the airport at least 2 nautical miles from the airport. Then start reaching the runway.
One of your landing gears are not opened, what can help the landing gear deploy, at least try to?
Don't just land without the gears, try releasing it using the manual opener instead, be sure to press the one that is red.
Your cargo plane is carrying loose cargo, what does the captain do, and say?
The captain needs to declare a mayday call, then get back to the airport and land on the runway. Also, engage the autopilot pitch, the plane will automatically control the trim setting to get you safely on the ground.
The plane has gotten hit with birds, and the plane cannot make it to any airport, and you're over the river.
Land on the river, at a slow enough descent rate at least try, then evacuate the aircraft as soon as possible.
The plane is not climbing quickly, and you must do something. What should you do, or say?
1. Check the speed, if it is low, then it is that.
2. Send out a mayday, then turn around and go back to the airport, make sure the speed is set for emergency approach.
All 3 of your MD 11's engines are overheated, what can the captain do, and say?
If there is an airport that your plane can glide to, the captain can try that.
The plane is in a turbulence zone and is shaking really bad. What can the captain use to steady the trajectory?
The rudder is highly useful in very bad turbulence. The captain should use that to steady the plane.
The pilots is trying to get the nose down for approach, the elevators are just not responding. What other tool can we use?
The elevator trim is a very helpful tool to lower the nose when the elevators are not working.
The plane is at a descent rate of 1,300 fpm. Now the descent rate increased to 1,400. What can the captain do to stop the descent from getting worse?
1. Since the problem could be with the speed, try giving the thrust levers some more power.
2. If the yoke or side stick is too far down, try maneuvering it up so the elevators can get the plane to a slower descent rate.
3. Adjust the trim setting if the elevators are not working. Your plane will not be stuck at the same pitch if the trim is adjusted.
The plane is ascending when baggage fell out of the overhead bin. What will you do, and say?
Don't just do nothing, let your cabin crew know so they can alert the pilots to stop their ascent for a moment.
Both engines are not responding because the main metering valve is jammed. what can you do?
Maybe the valve is not completely jammed. Try slowly moving the thrust levers up to see if the engine responds. Beware, you may not be able to slow down the plane.
The A.S.Y. alarm is sounding, what does that mean, what do the pilots do?
Possibly the fuel is heavier on one side of the plane. Try transferring fuel from the heavier wing to the lighter and wait until the fuel is steady.
The pilot is not worrying about the speed, heading, and altitude. The captain is concerned on how fast the landing will be. What will the first officer attempt to do?
The first officer should try and warn the captain that they are not ready to land. Beware, you may be off-course.
The plane has a very nose-dive descent. What can the captain do, and say?
The captain should suggest a lower descent rate to the Air-Traffic Controller. Tell them that your wings would become ice quickly,
The plane's trim is set to a very high ascent rate. What could the captain do?
Adjust the elevator trim to the correct setting. Other than that, the plane will stall, and you will need to give your engines full power and point the nose down.
