Scenario 2: Smell in the cockpit and/or cabin with physiological effects - Apply the said procedure, however, stop at LAND ASAP as there is no “perceptible smoke”. Apply the Removal of Smoke/Fumes QRH procedure.
Scenario 3: Perceptible smoke in the cockpit and/or cabin - Apply the Smoke/Fumes/Avionics Smoke procedure.
Is this approach to this procedure sound? Or does anyone have a better understanding towards this?
If there is specific ECAM warning it must be carried out first. If there is no ECAM then the Smoke procedure is based on whether the source of smoke can be immediately identified, isolated and extinguished. If yes end of procedure, if no then divert, you have 15mts to land.
In all cases The SMOKE/FUMES/AVIONICS SMOKE PROCEDURE must be applied first. Smoke removal procedure is applied only later or during its application if the Smokes/fumes becomes a threat and smoke removal becomes necessary.
