interesting...

thanks for the infos guys.... as we know,

emergency descend
- initiated due to rapid decomp or smoke
- actions are, oxy mask on 100%, comm est,
PF - alt window 10k, hdg off airways, speed vmo/mmo or current
speed if structural damage is suspected, thrust idle, spd
brake out (careful if structural damage, avoid high vib).
PNF - seatbelt on, lights on, pax oxy on (cabin alt 14k or more),
ignition start (airbus), sq 7700, mayday call.
rapid descend :-
- alt window (any altitude, since its not decomp), speed close to
vmo/mmo, thrust idle, speedbrake out.
