Double emergency at the same time
I must give my props to the crew for their handling of the situation. But I have a few questions.
1) As the story has unfolded, I can assume that the crew first received the Engine Fire indications with Fire Warning going off. As they were still climbing (or maybe cruising), first thing they would be doing is Engine Fire or Engine Sever Damage or Separation Checklist memory items. But the cabin was punctured and they had a rapid depressuzation coming. If the cabin altitude warning horn sounded while they were doing the Engine Severe Damage memory items, does that mean that they have to hold checklist and continue with the Rapid Depressuzation memory items?
2) We didn't have the option of choosing between Flaps 15 and any other Flap setting on our QRH in the One Engine Inoperative Landing Checklist. Does planning a Flaps 5 landing raise the question of legality in terms of crew training?
I'm just curious.
