4 important questions on Memory Items QRH

Aborted Engine Start

Condition: On the ground, an aborted engine start is needed.
Objective: To shut down the engine and motor it.

Engine start lever (affected engine) . . . CUTOFF

Cabin Altitude Warning or Rapid Depressurization

Condition: One or more of these occur:
  • A cabin altitude exceedance
  • In flight, the intermittent cabin altitude/configuration warning horn sounds or a CABIN ALTITUDE light (if installed and operative) illuminates.


1. Don oxygen masks and set regulators to 100%
2. Establish crew communications
3. Pressurization mode selector . . . MAN
4. Outflow VALVE switch . . . Hold in CLOSE until the outflow VALVE indication shows fully closed
5. If cabin altitude is uncontrollable
  • Passenger signs . . . ON
  • PASS OXYGEN switch . . . ON
Go to the Emergency Descent checklist

Engine Limit or Surge or Stall

Condition: One or more of these occur:
  • Engine indications are abnormal
  • Engine indications are rapidly approaching or exceeding limits
  • Abnormal engine noises are heard, possibly with airframe vibrations
  • There is no response to thrust lever movement or the response is abnormal
  • Flames in the engine inlet or exhaust are reported

Objective: To attempt to recover normal engine operation or shut down the engine if recovery is not possible.

1. Autothrottle (if engaged) . . . Disengage
2. Thrust lever (affected engine) . . . Confirm . . . Retard until engine indications stay within limits or the thrust lever is closed

Loss of Thrust On Both Engines

Condition: Both of these occur:
  • Both engines have a loss of thrust
  • Both ENG FAIL alerts show

Objective: To restart at least one engine

1. ENGINE START switches (both) . . . FLT
2. Engine start levers (both) . . . CUTOFF
3. When EGT decreases:
  • Engine start levers (both) . . . IDLE detention
4. If EGT reaches a redline or there is no increase in EGT within 30 seconds:
  • Engine start lever (affected engine) . . . Confirm . . . CUTOFF, then IDLE detent
  • If EGT again reaches a redline or there is no increase in EGT within 30 seconds, repeat as needed.
