Proceed as above. If the failure occurs above V2 however, maintain the SRS
commanded attitude. In any event the minimum speed must be V2.
When an engine failure is detected, the FMGS produces predictions based on
the engine-out configuration and any pre-selected speeds entered in the MCDU
are deleted.
ENGINE FAILURE DURING CRUISE
R MSN 0002-0860
GENERAL
There are three strategies available for dealing with an engine failure in the cruise:
. The standard strategy
. The obstacle strategy
. The fixed speed strategy
The fixed speed strategy refers to ETOPS (A330 only). It is discussed in FCOM
2 "special operations" and is taught as a separate course.
Unless a specific procedure has been established before dispatch (considering
ETOPS or mountainous areas), the standard strategy is used.
PROCEDURE
As soon as the engine failure is recognized, the PF will simultaneously:
. Set MCT on the remaining engine(s)
. Disconnect A/THR
Then, PF will
. Select the SPEED according to the strategy
. If appropriate, select a HDG to keep clear of the airway, preferably heading
towards an alternate. Consideration should be given to aircraft position relative
to any relevant critical point
. Select the appropriate engine inoperative altitude in the FCU ALT window and
pull for OPEN DES
