As a general reminder which abnormals favor the use of QRH rather than following ECAM? thank you |

I'm not rated on any Airbus, but a fuel leak would be a QRH procedure. Unless you can recall it as an ECAM procedure.

The ECAM is an attempt for a paperless cockpit. However the QRH remains as recognition that not all abnormal events can be detected by a computer. |
If present, we always follow the ECAM. If time is available we reference the QRH after complying with the ECAM. Referencing the QRH means reading additional information which may help in understanding the anomaly. In the presence of an ECAM any action directed by the QRH is ignored. The ECAM is the most direct method of correcting or ameliorating the anomaly. That said there are approximately 80 checklists in our QRH which don’t have a corresponding ECAM (unannunciated checklists in our vernacular) Since no ECAM is present we reference and apply QRH procedure. Fuel Leak, Air Temperature to Hot or To Cold, to name a few. |
Assuming no OEB, always ECAM first. If no ECAM and any abnormalities detected by the crew then it’s a good time to pull the QRH as required. Some failures like Flaps/Slats locked, fuel Leak, Hydraulic issues, engine relight, the QRH is a must do but will always be reviewed after the ECAM actions. |
