Hi guys,
I don't know if you noticed but the new procedure ( memo item) EMER DESCENT in our QRH ( at least for A330/340 ) has slightly changed.
It starts with:
oxy mask....................................use
signs...........................................on
emer descent.......................initiate.
I just wanted to enhance that fact that after having doned your O2 mask , there is no interphone use : it use to permit pilots to quickly realize they were both operational and able to start their tasks.
the signs have now priority for passengers and pax, no " emergency descent" call from the pnf to the crew anymore to indicate about the beginning of the procedure ...
I wanted to ask you about these modifications and the reasons why we don't do anymore these 2 actions in priority:
confirmation of communication between crew after masks on.
announcement to cc about emergency descent( the only annoucement now is later in the check list , once we have reached a secured altitude of 10000 or safe altitude, that they can remove or keep their O2 masks.
