On the Training Manual, at the chapter ”Introduction to emerg. evac” part “Decision making”, is reported:
‐ As soon as aircraft is stopped, and the parking brake is set, the captain notifies the cabin crew and calls for ECAM ACTIONS. At this stage, the task sharing is defined as follow:
But:
- the evacuation decision has to be made at the end of the QRH procedure (req or not req), and during that, you cut all engines (like the ECAM).
- It seems that the picture considers the old qrh evacuation procedure that is, if you enter the paper procedure, you have ALREADY decided to evacuate. The FCTM picture is very confusing. On one side the arrow “cpt decision + announcement”. The other arrow will send you to the QRH where the evacuation decision has to be done AT THE END.
For me, the QRH is the only logical sequence to decide.
