ENGINE FAILURE IN CRUISE

PF
Call Engine Failure - Call Engine Fire, Severe Damage, or Separation Recall Items - Identifies out loud the failure by crosschecking the engine indications (eg. No N2 rotation, engine number one).

PM

REMARKS

Perform Recall Items - Disconnect autothrottle if not already disconnected - Call Select CRZ ENG OUT Page and set Maximum Continuous Thrust - Read MAX ALT value on ENG OUT CRZ page and set the MAX altitude on the MCP altitude window - PANPAN / MAYDAY message to ATC - Request local QNH - Select ENG OUT prompt on CRZ page - Select LT/RH ENG OUT prompt - Check and select CON N1 LIMIT value - Set MCT on live engine - Read MAX ALT value on ENG OUT CRZ page
If no recall items, start directly from this step

- This displays MOD ENG OUT CRZ (ENG OUT CRZ for FMC U10.3 and later) and the FMC calculates engine out target speed and maximum engine out altitude at the current gross weight. The fields are updated as fuel is burned. - If the airplane is at or below maximum ENG OUT altitude when an engine becomes inoperative, select the MOD ENG OUT CRZ (ENG OUT CRZ for FMC U10.3 and later). Maintain engine out cruise speed using manual thrust adjustments.

- Read ENG OUT SPD on ENG OUT CRZ page and set engine out target airspeed in the MCP IAS window.

- Read ENG OUT SPD on ENG OUT CRZ page

- Allow airspeed to slow to engine out speed then engage LVL CHG.

- When possible, selects the ERASE prompt of the ENG OUT CRZ page to return to the active CRZ page. - Complete Non Normal Check-List if not already done

- If the engine out target airspeed and maximum continuous thrust (MCT) are maintained, the airplane levels off above the original MAX altitude. However, the updated MAX altitude is displayed on the ENG OUT CRZ page. After viewing engine out data, the PM selects the ERASE prompt to return to the active CRZ page. Caution! With the MOD ENG OUT CRZ page selected, no other FMC data pages can be executed.

LEVEL OFF AT TARGET ALTITUDE

- If terrain clearance is critical, maintain the level off altitude and MCT - If terrain clearance is not critical, the aircraft may be accelerated immediately - Enter the new cruise altitude and airspeed on the ECON CRZ page. It updates the ETAs and Top of Descent predictions. - If range is a factor, determine Engine Inoperative LRC speed from the QRH. - Check cold temperature altitude corrections if applicable
Caution! - Reducing to Long Range Cruise speed will result in a loss of altitude of up to 3,000 feet. - With Engine Anti-Ice ON, decrease altitude capability by another 1200 ft - With Engine Anti-ice & Wing Anti-Ice ON, decrease altitude capability by 5500 ft

As PF, do not be distracted from flying the aircraft. Use of the V/S mode is not recommended. Do not forget to trim the aircraft in each phase of flight. Do not forget to take into account cold temperature altitude corrections when doing an emergency descent in a mountainous area.
