Airbus Smoke/Fire checklist and emergency config summary.
Hi folks,
Does anyone have a thought on whether or not the use of the Emerg electric config summary is appropriate after having had smoke and elected to set ember elec config?
The FCOM has been amended (2011).
Thanks

Hi 9 points,
It depends on the length of runway I have chosen to divert to. If it was so long that I could land in Emer Config - then I'd probably leave it in Emer Elec and consult the summary.
If I needed anti skid brake system in order to stop - then I'd restore the electrics and wouldn't need to consult the summary.

It is appropriate, in order to calculate the LDR...
Other considerations...
If selcting EMER ELEC config has definitely cured the smoke I would consider remaining in that config ..
If EMER ELEC has no effect on the smoke I would prefer to reinstate GEN2 and EMER ELEC GEN1 LINE ... as required by the QRH procedure and ECAM .. I quite like Anti-Skid and Fuel Pumps working...
See FCOM 3 for more gen.

Thanks Tyro
I presume your a320 so there are some systems differences, I'm 330 but flew the 320 years ago.
Yep I figure it is a quick way get LDR etc. not mandatory but as a technique it works. We just have to cover ourselves by completing the approved checklist if time permits...
thanks

For the A330 Guys:
I think there is one step missing at QRH:
When the QRH says to reconect the GENs (2000ft or 3 min )they forget to tell you to also connect LAND RECOVERY. I sent an email to Airbus , but no replies so far.
Am I correct or I´m missing something?
