- by the simple method of having the same pilot do both. Obviously a c/crew initiated evac is not in frame here.

A little thread drift here but what kind of signal is given by various operators to let the cabin know that an evacuation is not needed. For instance; a hard max energy RTO has occured but the Captain feels that an evac is not approproiate for the event. Some operators will make a PA to the effect, "Remain Seated-Remain Seated", thus letting both passengers and cabin staff that at this moment an evac is not appropriate.

Opinions Please?

The captain tends to his/her immediate action items from memory which would include but may not be limited to, based on the airline specific and aircraft model.

Park Brake – Set
Flaps – XX position (per the procedure specific to the operator and aircraft)
Speed Brake Lever – Forward
Start Levers – Cut Off

Passenger Evacuation – Initiate (this is accomplished with the passenger address microphone).

The Cabin Crew will initiate the evacuation if they do not hear the command from the cockpit within a specified period of time.
