A330/40 RTO and Evacuation
In the event of an RTO for an engine fire the ECAM requires that the affected engine is shut down and both agents discharged into it. The next ECAM line requires the other Eng Master(s) to be selected OFF.
The FCTM states:
"The first officer carries out the ECAM until shutting down the remaining engines(s)
The captain build his decision to evacuate depending on the circumstances..."
I cannot decide how this should be interpreted.
1. The remaining engines are shut-down whilst the captain is still building his decison. This leaves the aircraft without power on the runway before the captain has made a decision about an evacuation. If an evacuation is not necessary the aircraft is left in an awkward situation.
2. The FO holds the ECAM before shutting-down the remaining engines. If an evacuation is necessary the operative engines are shut-down as part of the Emergency Evacuation Checklist. If the captain decides that an evacuation is not necessary, the engine(s) remain running.
Option 2 seems more sensible, but the graphic in the FCTM that shows the task-sharing seems to support Option 1.
I wondered what your company instructors teach?
