Thank you for the responses so far.

Yes my profile does state that I am an NG captain. Been a captain on
A good many types including some older Airbus types as well..my CV is
not point of topic.

I pose the question as was posed to us in a CRM class today by our training
department. Apologies if my question appears amaturish. Maybe I should of
mentioned that?

In any case, the group I am working with are trying to see what can we
learn from this scenerio with the NG being the subject airplane. I do not see
taking an event and applying it to your aircraft type as being entirely reactive.
It is in a sense, however we could be proactive as well.

Your comment on the outflow valve was certainly my first response in the
classroom.

Other points mentioned in order to quickly configure:

APU. - ON/OFF?
Out Flow Valve- Closed
Engine Bleeds Closed
Guarded Proximatey switches.
Landing Gear - UP

You have wind milling engines that will provide hydraulic pressure
to about 170 kts... However maybe not available as Eng damaged
due to bird ingestion.


Common sense stuff should always prevail.

1. Always fly the plane. Drills checklist etc. As time premits. Certainly,
all the nice little window dressing items don't mean much if the aircraft
Is not flown firstly and foremeost.


I am not a prolific poster on PPRUNE.. I can see that one has to be
very careful in how one posses ones questions.

So back to the question:
