How would you handle a pack 1(2) fault before takeoff ?
Etops and non etops
Thanks.
Hi,
Non ETOPS : turn the pack off as per ecam. Continue your flight as planned. Note : Be sure that at your destination you have someone able to put the pack in the MEL.
ETOPS : You need both of them, so request an alternate non etops routing according to your fuel or if you get a pack overheat wait until it will eventually cool down.
EDIT : In case the failure happens during taxi out the MEL are no longer applicable therefore you can continue with a single pack even in an ETOPS scenario. The decision is yours.
Cheers.
