1: Initiate emergency descent
2: Squalk 7700
3: Shout Mayday at ATC
I understand that there are lots of other things going on in the cockpit but these are the important things as far as I am concerned. I would say that 3 isn't crucial if 2 is done as I would guess that an emergency descent is in progress with the descent rate, but it would be nice to know whats happenning and that you aren't uncontrollably falling. If there is any traffic below expect avoiding action to be given to all the conflicts (BIG vectors), it would be very rare to ask the emergency a/c to make any turns but there are some senarios that may need this to happen. Hopefully there will be no TCAS RA's if we can get our job done quickly!!
