Good morning gentlemen!
I expect my recurrent sim cessins next week.
"ALL GEN FAILURE" is one of the items. However there is no checklist for all gen fail. The QRH has only checklist for only one gen off.May I apply that checklist for all gen off? What would be your action items if you have sudden failures of all gen in flt?
I need help.

Good day gentlemen!

"All GEN failure" is not specifically addressed in our QRH, but the Standby Power System is addressed at length.

You would individually attempt to reset the generators (we are allowed only 1 attempt on each one). When that fails, you will have to deal with the airplane on Standby Power only, which is essentially the Capt's instruments (left PFD, ND, FMC, ADC, Transponder, EIU, FMS-CDU, ILS, VOR; Primary EICAS, flight control components). Find a place to land within 30 minutes!
