A320 Dual Engine Failure ECAM procedures
Hello, I'm confused again and need expert help,
Recently been told by instructor that the ECAM can be used for the initial actions following a dual engine failure as this could save time fumbling around (possibly in the dark) for the QRH and then fumbling around trying to find the right page.
My question is:
I realise the ECAM will recognise the engine failures and display the ECAM warning for DUAL ENG FAIURE. But when the engines spool down and AC generation is lost (APU not running), will it not decide that EMER ELEC CONFIG has occurred and that this is more important and display that drill instead while moving the dual engine failure down the list? So now you would have to clear this warning (and maybe others) to get back to the ENG DUAL FAILURE warning? Sounds very messy indeed.
Is this not the reason why Airbus say you should really use the QRH first, then clear the ECAM?
