μ BOMB ON BOARD
CONDITION:
• Specific threat that a bomb is on board, or a suspected or confirmed bomb is on board.
REASON:
• Some idiot, who ought to be shot, is causing trouble
• In The Air: Assess the Validity of the threat. Red or Green. If in doubt assume Red Threat.
If Red:
Turn towards nearest suitable airport but do not begin descent. Don’t rush this choice!
Do not do anything else until completing the Checklist.
CHECKLIST:
• Objective: To maintain the cabin altitude, not allowing it to climb or descent but at the same time
reduce the differential as much as possible.
• PA: “Purser To The Flight Deck Immediately”. Brief as per the FOM and current situation.
• LANDING ALTITUDE SELECTOR – PULL, SET MANUALLY.
o Set to indicated cabin altitude. (So as to keep the cabin altitude constant in case of barometric
sensitive devices).
• Plan to land at the nearest suitable airport. (Confirm that this is the best choice)
• DESCENT – INITIATE
o Descend to indicated cabin altitude, terrain permitting. Do this promptly at this stage of the
checklist
o (Don’t descend below the indicated cabin altitude until a/c has been depressurized).
• When cabin differential pressure is zero:
o OUTFLOW VALVE SWITCHES (Both) – Put to MAN and OPEN.
o Position outflow valves fully open to depressurize airplane.
• After landing:
o DISEMBARKATION / EVACUATION – INITIATE (At Captains discretion).
NOTES:
• Case where descent cannot be completed to indicated cabin alt: There will still be a cabin diff but this is
acceptable as it is at least reduced. Do NOT depressurize, as this will cause the cabin to climb. When
able descent to indicated cabin altitude and cabin diff is 0 then complete the checklist.
• During descent get out the FOM.
o Refer to the FOM Chapter 14 (Safety and Security), Sabotage / Bomb Threats – In Flight.
o PA - To Passengers as per laid down in FOM Chapter 14 (Safety and Security).
• SATCOM – Contact Duty manager.
• Make haste to diversion airfield!
• Stay at the indicated cabin altitude until destination. Do not descend from this until ready for the
approach. Select Flap 5 (At least LE devices) and extend the Gear.
FCI 97/153
• Definitely know there is a bomb on board – evacuate via slides.
• Presence of a bomb not confirmed – use discretion but in most cases use the air-bridge or steps.
• Do not use exits at or near bomb, if applicable.
• Thoughts on a controlled evacuation:
o Stop on the runway and set the park brake.
o “Cabin Crew At Stations. Purser To The Flight Deck” Brief Purser to evacuate in a controlled &
calm manner at the evacuation command.
o Accomplish the standard evacuation checklist i.e. “Passenger Evacuation Checklist”

μ DITCHING
CONDITION:
• Airplane Ditching and Evacuation are required
REASON:
CHECKLIST:
• Below 5000 ft:
• Put both PACKS OFF and close both Outflow Valves
• Ensure Gear UP and Flaps 30
• Advise Cabin of imminent touchdown.
o Two minutes to touchdown, “Attention Crew at Stations”.
o Thirty Seconds to touchdown, “Brace, Brace”.
• After impact:
o Both Fuel Control Switches to Cut-off
o Override and Pull APU Fire Switch
NOTES:
• Refer to FOM 20.4 Transmit MAYDAY and position
• Ensure Lights are all ON
• Prepare Cabin – Advise Purser – NITS
• Brief FO to make the cabin announcements
• Jettison Fuel or stay airborne as long as possible so that rescue services can get to you or you to them
• This is far better performed under power with flaps at 30
• Swells can be identified from higher – Wind can be assessed below 1500 ft. Use ND
• If wind > 35 Kts – land into wind (Foam and Spray off waves)
• If wind < 35 Kts – land parallel to swell and into wind if possible
• Do not fly into a swell!!!
• Fly on at a low Rate of Descent – Don’t stall it on. Use 10° nose up attitude
• After impact announce – “All Available Exits Evacuate, Evacuate”. Sound the evacuation signal.
μ DUAL ENGINE FAIL/STALL
• See Engines
μ ENGINE IN-FLIGHT START L, R
• See Engines
μ GEAR LEVER LOCKED DOWN
• See Landing Gear
μ OVERWEIGHT LANDING
• Condition: A landing at greater than max landing weight is required
• Reason: Diversion or Return with Jettison System Inop or Quick Return
CHECKLIST:
• Refer to Landing Climb Limit Weight
o If landing weight greater than Landing Climb Limit Weight then use flaps 20/5
o If not use Flaps 25 or 30 depending on Vref
NOTES:
• Landing Climb Limit Weight in Performance In-flight QRH ensures:
o 3.2% Gross Climb Gradient with 2 Eng and Flap 30 Gear Down
o 2.1% Gross Climb Gradient with 1 Eng and Flap 20 Gear Up
• Heavy Penalties apply in icing conditions – 20 Tonnes
• This does not necessarily ensure obstacle clearance, particularly on 1 engine
• Even if using flaps 20 there are no guarantees. Its just better than flap 30
• Any airport elevation above 3000 ft just use Flaps 20 – the Table only goes up to 3000 ft

Cabin Doors
- The Entry Doors are translating, plug-type doors. During opening, the door first moves inward and upward,
then translates outward and forward.
- The Door is held open by a gust lock when the door is fully open.
- Initial movement of any handle opens the vent to equalize the cabin and ambient pressure.
- The mode selector lever arms and disarms the pneumatic assist system and evacuation slide/raft of each door.
- If the Door is opened from the outside the mode select lever automatically moves to the DISARMED position.
-
Flight Deck Doors
- The Flight Deck Door is constructed out of Kevlar and consists of a deadbolt, shear pins, security grill and an
emergency egress panel.

CREW OXYGEN LOW
CONDITION:
• Crew oxygen pressure is low
REASON:
• Oxygen leak. Pressure is below 500psi
CHECKLIST:
• NIL
NOTES:
• Check if pressure is below Performance Dispatch Figure
• Get a portable O2 cylinder for each crewmember on duty.
• Refer to FOM: Chapter 17 Use of equipment
• Negotiate a descent to FL250
• Fuel may be inadequate to reach destination so prepare for a tech stop. Contact SMNC
DOOR FWD CARGO (DOOR AFT CARGO ON –300) .............. Caution Message with Beeper
CONDITION:
• Forward cargo door is not closed and latched and locked.
• The forward cargo door is not a plug type door, it opens outwards, is positioned in front of the right hand
engine and as cabin differential pressure increases, this pressure will attempt to push the door open.
• The primary task is to reduce the cabin differential.
PF
o Level off.
o Speed as current / required / structural damage.
PNF
o Advise ATC – problem & current altitude.
PF
o Call for the Door FWD Cargo checklist.
CHECKLIST:
• Objective: To reduce the Cabin Diff ASAP to prevent door from blowing
• Landing altitude selector - pull, set 8000.
• [Reduces cabin differential pressure to decrease risk of door separation]
• If airplane altitude at or below 8000 feet:
• Level Off - Initiate. Level off at lowest safe altitude.
• If airplane altitude above 8000 feet:
• Descent – Initiate….Descend to lowest safe altitude or 8000 feet whichever is higher.
[Reduces cabin differential pressure]
• May need to do a PPOS hold to accomplish checklist and determine where to go.
• Allow sufficient time for cabin altitude to stabilize. (Cabin Rate of Climb = 0).
• [Minimizes passenger discomfort from effects of cabin depressurization].
• Outflow valve switches (Both) - Man
• Outflow valve switches (Both) - Open.
• Position outflow valves fully open to depressurize airplane.
• Once depressurized, the crew may change altitude as necessary.
NOTES:
• If the door opened, the right engine could ingest debris from the forward cargo hold. If the door itself
separated, then structural and pressurization problems may occur. Prioritize as per EICAS.
• Even if an engine failure occurs due to debris it is probably a good idea to complete the Door Fwd Cargo
checklist when appropriate. (Follow the EICAS / ICON rules).
• For the case of lowest safe altitude above FL100/140 When a/c is depressurized:
ο Cabin altitude warning at FL100.
ο Pax oxygen deploys at FL140.
ο Cabin Altitude Recall / Checklist – Go through the steps carefully
ο Note: Passengers must use O2 any time the cabin alt is above 15000ft (FOM 15.4)

2. Air Systems
Bleed Air
- Bleed air is used for air driven hydraulic pumps, wing anti-
ice, cargo heating, engine and APU starting, air conditioning,
potable water pressure, hydraulic reservoir pressure, and
trim air.
- APU Bleed Air may be used in-flight to an altitude of
approximately 22,000 feet.
- Engine Bleed Air comes primarily from the LP section, HP
Air is available when required e.g. at low power setting
during descent.
- The Air Supply Cabin Pressure Controller ASCPC regulates
HP Valve and PRSOV.
- When an Engine is started it provides bleed air and the APU
bleed valve is closed.
- Selecting the second engine to start closes the Engine bleed
valve, the associated isolation valve, and opens the APU
bleed valve.
- When both engines are running the engine bleed valves
open the center isolation valve closes and the APU bleed
valve closes.
- Bleed Isolation Valves are controlled automatically by the
ASCPC
• Ground Cart use, all valves open.
• APU on all engines off, all valves open.
• Left or right engine start, APU valve and starting engine valve open,
opposite engine valve closed.
• During cross-bleed start all valves open.
• During engine out ops all valves open.
- The Packs are capable of producing higher than normal flow for air conditioning under certain operating conditions.
The high flow system is automatic and is armed for operation at all times.
- During ground operation whenever the APU or ground source is supplying air for air conditioning both packs increase
airflow. In flight if on pack or recirculation fan is off, or inoperative, pack airflow is increased.
- The pack high flow system is inhibited under the following situations: Wing anti-ice on and only one engine is
supplying bleed air, one engine is inoperative, or flaps are not in the UP position.
EMIRATES B-777 SYSTEMS AND EXPANDED QRH 29 June 2008
Page 15 of 135 2. AIR SYSTEMS B-777 SYSTEMS
Air Conditioning
- 2 packs, a trim air system, 2 upper and 2 lower recirculation systems, and the gasper system supply the air
conditioning system.
- Ram cooling air for the packs heat exchangers enters through 2 variable inlet scoops and exhausts through doors on
the underside of the fuselage.
- Trim Air modifies conditioned air for all zones except the zone requiring the coolest air.
- Auto control allows temp control 18ºC-29ºC.
- Manual Selection allows positioning of the Flight Deck trim air valve.
- Cabin temp control adjusts the master temp for the cabin. Zones can be modulated by the cabin crew.
- Adjusting the master temp from 24ºC reduces the control of the Cabin Crew.
- The Gasper system operates independently to the air conditioning system. It supplies air from the aft distribution duct.
EMIRATES B-777 SYSTEMS AND EXPANDED QRH 29 June 2008
Page 16 of 135 2. AIR SYSTEMS B-777 SYSTEMS
Pressurization
- The pressurization system controls air pressure inside the pressurized cabin by regulating the discharge of conditioned
air through two outflow valves, one forward and one aft.
- Each valve is capable of maintaining full cabin altitude and ventilation. Both have an automatic and manual mode.
- Negative and positive pressure relief valves protect the fuselage from excessive pressure differentials.
- There are 4 negative pressure relief valves, 2 per side. And 2 positive pressure relief valves located on the forward left
side of the fuselage.
Recirculation Fans
- Air for Upper Recirculation fans comes from above the passenger compartment.
- Air from the Lower Recirculation fans is directed into the conditioned air manifold.
- Air for the Gasper fan comes from an aft distribution duct and operates independent of the air conditioning system
EMIRATES B-777 SYSTEMS AND EXPANDED QRH 29 June 2008
Page 17 of 135 2. AIR SYSTEMS B-777 SYSTEMS
Forward Equipment Cooling System
- In Auto a supply fan pulls air from the cabin, by a
smoke detector and airflow sensors. The airflow
sensors detect fan failures by lack of airflow.
- Cooling air enters the FD panels displays and
equipment racks from below and is drawn into the
exhaust vents by an exhaust fan. The exhaust fan
sends air to the forward cargo compartment for
heating.
- In flight exhaust air always goes through the forward
cargo compartment. On the ground exhaust air will go
into the forward compartment or overboard depending
on TAT.
- The override valve is actually two valves mechanically linked together and is normally open to allow airflow through the
ducts. Certain non-normal situations will require closure of this valve.
Forward Equipment Cooling System Non-Normal Operations
- The Forward system reconfigures override mode when:
- The equipment cooling switch is off.
- In-flight both supply fans fail.
- In-flight low airflow is detected.
- Smoke is detected in the Forward Equipment cooling or Forward Equipment Ventilation systems.
- FWD CARGO FIRE switch is armed.
- If EICAS message EQUIP COOLING OVRD is displayed minimize time at low altitude to avoid equipment/display
failure:
- Equipment Cooling Override mode, Forward Cargo Fire Switch not armed:
The supply fans are inoperative, the vent valve opens, and the
forward cargo heat valve closes
- If the FWD CARGO cooling system inoperative on the ground EICAS EQUIP COOLING displays and the Ground crew
call in the wheel well sounds.
EMIRATES B-777 SYSTEMS AND EXPANDED QRH 29 June 2008
Page 18 of 135 2. AIR SYSTEMS B-777 SYSTEMS
AFT Equipment Cooling System
- A Fan draws conditioned air through the equipment
rack and then exhausts near the aft pressurization
outflow valve. Lavatory units, galleys, and cabin
temperature sensor assemblies are also ventilated by
the aft equipment cooling system.
- Two fans are used, one is the operating fan the
second is the backup fan that will start automatically if
the operating fan fails.
- The AIRFLOW OFF light is illuminated whenever the Aircraft is below 25,000 feet, during smoke detection mode, when
the compartment airflow exhaust valves are open or when the compartment airflow is off.
- The HI/LO chime will sound 5 times in the compartment whenever the air supply shutoff valve is commanded closed.
- Pushing the Airflow reset button for 2 seconds should reset the system if required. This switch is inoperative below
25,000 feet.
- PACK L or PACK R can mean pack switch off, pack failure, Bleed Air shut off to pack, or pack Overheat.
• The corresponding pack is automatically shut off, it can be reset after a cooling period by pressing the AIR CON RESET switch.
- TRIM AIR L or TRIM AIR R can mean Trim air switch off, Trim valve failed closed, zone duct overheat.
• Trim Air is shut off, it can be reset after a 2 minute cooling period by pressing the AIR CON RESET switch.
- PACK MODE L or PACK MODE R can mean Air cycle machine failure, valve or temperature sensor failure that allows
the system to revert to the standby cooling mode.
• If in an area of insufficient cooling bleed air to the pack is shut off.
• If in an area of sufficient cooling Bleed air flows by heat exchangers and added to the conditioned air manifold.
- EQUIP COOLING can mean low airflow, or high air supply temperature. This message will activate the ground crew
call horn in the wheel well.
- EQUIP COOLING OVRD can mean Equipment cooling fans inop, smoke detected in ducts, low air flow, system faults,
standby power operation, arming fwd cargo fire arm switch, EQUIP COOLING switch off.
• Supply and exhaust fans are turned off, the Fwd compartment heat valve closes, the smoke override valve opens and air is vented
overboard causing a reverse cooling airflow through the E/E equipment racks. Airflow varies with differential pressure.
• Cycling the switch will reset the system.
- CARGO HEAT AFT can mean valves failing closed, Lav-Galley fan failure, or Temp probe failure.
• Cargo heat for the affected compartment is inop, crew action not required.

GENERAL
• Study Air Synoptic after initial problem / action checklist to determine what further problems may exist.
• An engine failure or further bleed air loss may well result in depressurization and/or loss of ADP’s giving
further performance problems.
• An EICAS BLEED BODY LOSS will result in a severe go around performance penalty as the ADP's will
not be powered and gear retraction will take 3 minutes. If an engine is inoperative, avoid high terrain
airports / high-density altitude airports. Try to opt for an ILS, good weather etc and get an early
landing clearance.
• EICAS messages HYD PRESS DEM C1 & HYD PRESS DEM C2 indicates that the ADP's are not
powered. Flaps and Slats may go to secondary mode and the FLAPS PRIMARY FAIL, SLATS
PRIMARY FAIL messages will be displayed due to high hydraulic demand. Gear retraction will take 3
minutes. If an engine is inoperative, avoid high terrain airports / high-density altitude airports. Try to
opt for an ILS, good weather etc and get an early landing clearance.
• To recover pressurization by use of APU below FL220, both bleed air switches must be off.
• Brief what may happen with a further loss of engine or bleed air and make a plan of action should this
occur. E.g. descent.
• Beware of Air System MEL. If dispatching with bleeds or packs compromised, consider implications over
high terrain, or in icing conditions of an additional bleed loss due to leak in the bleed or anti-ice systems
• If an engine bleed valve is closed, the opposite engine goes to Approach Idle to cater for the increased air
demand. This may result in an ENG IDLE DISAGREE message
• PNF
o Verify that the cabin altitude recall items have been accomplished.
o R/T – give a Mayday call if the PF hasn’t.
o Check MEA.
o Accomplish the Cabin Altitude checklist and other applicable checklists as per the EICAS.
o Call FL 200, 2000 and 1000 feet to go to level off.
NOTES:
• Carry out the drill slowly and deliberately. Don't rush.
• The Rapid Descent drill is a drill that may be accomplished as part of the Cabin Altitude Recall or as a
separate drill depending on the circumstance. E.g. For a dual pack failure at altitude the PF may
announce "Rapid Descent" and then ask the PNF to accomplish the Pack left and Pack right checklists.
If a cabin altitude warning alert is then received, accomplish the Cabin Altitude Recall.
• In practice, the first pilot on oxygen with his act together should be the PF.
• In the case of a Rapid Descent without a Cabin Altitude Warning, transmit a "Cabin Crew take your
seats" PA call.
• When ready; go off oxygen one at a time. Remove the oxygen mask, close the left mask door (Mic is
changed from the mask setting to boom) and press Reset (Stops the oxygen flow).
• If oxygen is subsequently needed: open the left mask door and don the oxygen mask.
• CRM – Weather and where to go. Brief the cabin crew. P.A.
• Note PA must state: Aircraft is Level, Altitude maintaining, Reason, Time (NITS)
• Vol 2A Chapter 1. Further notes on the cabin signs, emergency lighting, Pax oxygen system and oxygen
mask panel.
• After Level a PA must be made at some time. This must announce the altitude that the aircraft is at and
the intensions. Also state whether or not oxygen is still required
CABIN ALTITUDE AUTO .......................................................... Caution Message with Beeper
CONDITION:
• Automatic pressurization control has failed or both outflow valve switches are in manual
REASON:
CHECKLIST:
• Both Outflow Valves are put to Manual and the pressurisation is controlled using the outflow valves.
o Note: The valves may take up to 6 seconds to begin to move
o Note: Recommended cabin rate is approx 500fpm for climbs and descents
o Note: A table of FL vs. cabin altitude is given to assist in setting the outflow valves
• At pattern altitude the Outflow valves are fully opened
NOTES
• The cabin altitude will have to be carefully monitored during climbs and descents.
• This may not be really practical for a long flight.
• Consider limiting altitude for cruise in case of finger trouble
• Consider the commercial implications of a diversion
CARGO HEAT AFT, BULK
CONDITION:
• Cargo Heat is inoperative or cargo temperature selector is off
REASON:
• Both Vent Fans have failed
• An automatic overheat shutdown has occurred
CHECKLIST:
• No actions are necessary
NOTES:
• Check the temperature on the Air Synoptic
• If animals are carried the temperature is unlikely to get too low as the compartment is heated by air
flowing down from the cabin
• Consider that the animal may be valuable so a tech stop in this case may be warranted. Contact SMNC

Page 25 of 135 2. AIR SYSTEMS EXPANDED QRH B-777 SYSTEMS
EQUIP COOLING
CONDITION:
• Forward equipment cooling system is inoperative
REASON:
• Both supply fans have failed or there are other system faults
CHECKLIST:
• No actions are required
NOTES:
• This message can only display on the ground. In the air the EQUIP COOLING OVERRIDE message will
display as the equipment is now cooled by air drawn through Diff Pressure
• The ground crew call horn in the wheel well is activated. This needs fairly prompt attention as the
Electronic Equipment may begin to overheat and be damaged
• Consult MEL
• Consider Load shedding avionic equipment or powering down aircraft
EQUIP COOLING OVRD
CONDITION:
• Equipment Cooling System is in Override Mode
REASON:
• Smoke is detected in the Forward E/E compartment
• Forward Cargo Fire extinguishing system is armed
• Both E/E supply fans fail
• Low Flow is detected in Flight
• Override Mode has been manually selected
CHECKLIST:
• Wait 2 mins to allow smoke in system to clear
• Equipment Cooling Switch goes Off then Auto in an attempt to reset the equipment cooling
• If the Equipment Cooling Override message remains
• After 30 mins at low altitude and cabin diff, electronic equipment and displays may fail
NOTES:
• Do all preparation at higher altitudes if possible and avoid extended holding and delays at low altitude. If
holding becomes a factor consider climbing
• Monitor the Cabin Diff
• Turn down cabin temperatures
• If equipment fails, consider climbing not rushing the approach.
• As a scenario, how realistic is this because who is to say which equipment fails first?
LANDING ALTITUDE
CONDITION:
• FMC has failed to provide a landing altitude or land altitude selector is pulled
REASON:
CHECKLIST:
• Pull the Landing Altitude Selector and set the landing altitude manually
NOTES:
• This will be one of the consequences of a Dual FMC failure with FMC message.
EMIRATES B-777 SYSTEMS AND EXPANDED QRH 29 June 2008
Page 26 of 135 2. AIR SYSTEMS EXPANDED QRH B-777 SYSTEMS
• No altitude restriction
• Other pack will go to higher flow to increase output
• Dispatch with single pack operation over Iran is prohibited
• If the other pack fails the cabin will depressurise but not explosively. Get down as soon as possible.
Announce “Rapid Descent”
• If CABIN ALTITUDE comes on – complete recall
PACK MODE L, R
CONDITION:
• Pack is operating in Standby Mode
REASON:
• The Air Cycle Machine has failed and cannot cool the air. The air is cooled purely by the Heat
Exchangers. If they cannot adequately exchange the heat, the pack will shut down
CHECKLIST:
• Note: At lower altitudes and/or higher outside air temperatures, the pack may shut down
NOTES:
• If other pack is failed or in Stby Cooling, the pack will not shut down as it has to maintain cabin
pressurization. This may result in higher Cabin Temps at lower altitudes and/or higher outside air
temperatures
• This in itself does not threaten pressurisation as the Pack is providing air but not cooling it
• Dispatch: ??

- For normal in flight operations all required power is provided by 2 engine driven generators.
- A 3rd generator driven by the APU is available in flight and is equal in size and capacity to either engine driven
generator.
- Any 2 of these 3 generators meet all electrical requirements.
- Any one generator powers all essential flight loads.
- With only 1 generator available an Electrical Load Management System ELMS, automatically shuts down some
low priority items, such as galleys.
• Galleys and galley chillers.
• Left and right utility busses.
- 2 main busses, Left and Right, distribute power to all airplane systems.
- A bus tie and 2 Isolation relays operate automatically to ensure both main busses remain powered at all times.
- The Hot Battery Buss provides power to the:
• Engine Fire Extinguisher Bottles.
• APU Fire Extinguisher Bottles.
• ADIRU if it is switched on.
GROUND HANDLING BUS
- Is powered only on the ground by the Primary External Power or the APU only.
- It is used for cargo door operation, fueling defueling valves, cargo compartment doors, and maintenance access
lights.
- Cabin lights can be powered by this bus if the switch at 1L is on.
GROUND POWER
- On Ground the Power Source Priority is
• Respective Engine Generator
• APU
• Opposite Engine Generator
- Selecting External power to ON will cause both generator breakers to open.
BACK UP POWER SYSTEM
- Essential Loads are powered by the L and R Transfer Busses.
- Essential items include:
• Instrument and panel lighting,
• Captain’s and F/O’s navigation and communication radios,
• Center pitot and engine probe heat.
- Transfer busses connect to one of the backup generators when their AC busses are unpowered.
- Backup generator switching is automatic when the switches are in the ON position.
- The Backup power system provides an uninterrupted transfer of power to the Transfer Busses in the event of:
• loss of 1 main AC Bus,
• The loss of both main AC busses,
• When only one main generator is available,
• and during Autoland.
STANDBY POWER SYSTEM
- The Standby System consists of the Battery Busses, the Captain’s and F/O’s Flight Instrument Busses, and an
AC Standby Bus.
- Normal power for these busses is from the left and right AC Transfer Busses. Either directly or through TRUs.
- Should the Transfer buss become unpowered, A RAT will provide power through the TRUs and the Standby AC
bus will be powered from the battery through a standby inverter.
- The RAT can be deployed in flight to provide electric and hydraulic power simultaneously. It is the primary sourse
of standby electric power if all normal sources are lost.
- The RAT generator only provides 1/10 the power of a regular generator. It will deploy automatically if both
Transfer busses are unpowered, or if all 3 hydraulic system pressures are low, or with dual engine failure and the
center hydraulic system pressure low.
- The Green Press light in the RAT switch illuminates when the hydraulic pressure is adequate.
- The RAT gives priority to the Hydraulic system and will shed electrics if the hydraulic pressure drops. The Main
battery powers the standby system during this time.
- When the RAT is supplying electrics both Flight Instrument busses are powered. When the Battery is supplying
power, only the Captains Flight instrument bus is powered.

ENG EEC MODE L, R
CONDITION:
• Control for the affected engine is operating in alternate mode.
REASON:
CHECKLIST:
• Autothrottle disconnect switch - Push.
• Thrust levers (Both) - Retard to mid position. [Prevents exceeding thrust limits when switching to
alternate mode].
• EEC mode switches (Both) - OFF. Push one switch at a time.
• Autothrottle engage switch - push.
• Note: Maximum thrust limiting is not available with autothrottle disconnected. Alternate thrust setting
information is displayed on N1 indications.
NOTES:
• At Dispatch:
o EICAS Status Messages: ENG EEC MODE L, R
o MEL ITEMS:
o 30-34-1 Engine PT2/TT2 Probe Heater Systems
o 73-21-2 Electronic Engine Controls (EEC) Normal Mode
• Main points:
o De-Rated and / or reduced thrust takeoffs are not allowed.
o Dispatch in accordance with the AFM Alternate EEC mode operation appendix. Performance
for operating with the EEC's in alternate mode can be found in the Emirates FCOM
Performance In-flight chapter.
o MEL
o Calculate the RTOW for the current conditions with EK RTOW orange tables e.g. RTOW 260T.
o QRH - ALTERNATE EEC
o Alternate Mode EEC limit weight
o In the right hand box under primary mode performance limit weight (1000kgs) find 260.
o Slide vertically down the various limits i.e. field/climb/obstacle/etc and find the lowest weight.
o In this example it is 249.7 - Obstacle limit. This is the revised RTOW.
o Alternate Mode EEC Takeoff Speed Adjustment:
o Adjust the actual speeds by the tabulated adjustment.
• In Flight:
o When the EEC automatically switches to the alternate mode (soft alternate mode) the EPR
indication is blank and no thrust reference is available.
o Selecting both EEC's to OFF, as directed by the checklist, puts the EEC's into the hard alternate
mode. This eliminates throttle stagger.
o Reference and target N1 and max / min values are displayed on the N1 indication. These values
are computed by the FMC.
o Thrust limit protection is not available and maximum thrust can be achieved at thrust lever
positions less than full forward. If the thrust lever position commands an N1 greater than max
rated thrust, the EICAS caution message ENG LIMIT PROT L/R will display. The caution
message prompts you to reduce the thrust.
o N1, N2 & N3 overspeed / red line protection is still available. If the EEC is trimming the fuel flow
to provide overspeed protection the EICAS advisory message ENG RPM LIMITED L/R is
displayed.
o Dispatch - MEL. A performance penalty is incurred when dispatching with the EEC's inoperative.
Calculate the RTOW from the performance tables and then make the make the adjustments to
the RTOW and the speeds from the QRH - Performance In-flight section - Alternate Mode EEC.

• Check all engine instruments. (An engine fire can become an engine separation).
• Choice of recall actions:
• FIRE ENGINE Recall for - Fire.
• ENGINE LIMIT/SURGE/STALL for - engine indications that are abnormal or are approaching or
exceeding limits, abnormal engine noises are heard, or there is no response to thrust lever movement.
• ENGINE SEVERE DAMAGE OR SEPARATION - for an engine that has severe damage, vibration or has
separated.
o This is a good drill to do if in doubt. Use for thrust reverser unlocked or ask PNF to position the fuel
control switch to cut-off.
• For the engine that just flames out / runs down - there are no recall items just an ENG FAIL non-normal
checklist to be performed at the appropriate time.
• An engine fire can be followed by an engine separation. This may be accompanied by a bang / thud of
sorts. The recall actions for the Engine Fire will take care of the actions required for the engine separation
case.

• Identification
1 AIR CONDITIONING SMOKE
° Dense dark oily smelling smoke appearing throughout the aircraft and entering the cockpit
through the side walls and around the floor and windshields . EQUIPMENT COOLING
OVERRIDE may come up if the smoke enters the Equipment Cooling System. Should be
smelt before seen
° If Pack actually burns the sensors should shut it down due overheat
2 ELECTRICAL SMOKE
° A concentration of smoke with distinctive “Burnt Insulation” smell. Electrical is white/blue.
Normally at one panel. If the source is in the flight deck it will not be immediately present in
the cabin. In time this may or may not be detected and bring up the EQUIPMENT COOLING
OVERRIDE on EICAS. Generally a CB has failed to trip and a fire or smouldering has started.
Removing the power may not stop the fire if it is established
3 CABIN SMOKE
° This will probably first be reported by a cabin crewmember. Cabin fires could be from ovens /
hat racks / toilets / seats. It will then come through via the Re-circulation Fans if they are left
on or through the flight deck door. Fire could produce white or dark smoke depending on the
source of the burning material. It may have any type of smell: Paper - Synthetic - Chemical -
Gaseous. Aural Smoke Detectors in the lavatories may alert in one or all areas. A cargo fire
or wheel fire may also produce cabin smoke
4 VOLCANIC ASH
° Ash cloud may be penetrated by night or by day in IMC. If 8/8 Blue then this is obviously not
the problem. This smoke pervades the whole aircraft and all detection systems of smoke may
trigger. There are many pointers:
° Acrid Smell
° Smoke Entering via the sidewall risers around the floor and windshields
° St Elmo’s Fire at Windshield - Radome - Engine Inlets.
° Erratic Engine behaviour: High or Fluctuating EGT - Flameout
° Erratic Airspeed Indications: Generally decreasing
° EQUIPMENT COOLING OVERRIDE on EICAS
° FIRE CARGO AFT / FWD
• Operations
o PF: Don oxygen masks and establish communications (Note if smoke concentration in
the flight deck is small, it may be prudent to delay this as it will seriously impair
communications)
o HAND OVER CONTROL
o Decide on suitable airport
o Declare an emergency.
o Track towards the nearest suitable or emergency airport.
o Ask Purser where the smoke is coming from and the colour & smell of the smoke.
° Air conditioning smoke is black and oily. May be also be Hazy or White
° Electrical smoke/fumes are white/blue and smells electrical.
° Cabin fires could be from ovens / hat racks / toilets / seats.
° A dangerous goods incident could produce fumes in the cabin.
° A cargo fire or wheel fire may also produce fumes/smoke/smell in the cabin.
o Descend at high speed to the grid MORA altitude.

- On ground the green band shows and is computed by the FMC dependent on aircraft weight,
C of G, and take-off thrust. The green band is not displayed in flight
- If the green band is not displayed the Stab signal is or is invalid or missing.
- A nose gear oleo pressure switch makes a comparison with the computed Green band and if
there is a disagreement a “STAB GREENBAND” EICAS message will display.
- When the autopilot is engaged the Pitch trim switches are disabled.
- Pitch trim switches trim for speed changes… 1 sec trim = 10 knots.
- With the autopilot engaged manual trim is only necessary when changing airspeed.
Configuration changes do not require manual trim input.
- Alternate Pitch trim switches must be moved together and move the stabilizer directly. Can
be cut out with STAB cutout switches.
- If one Stabilizer Trim Control Motor is
inoperative the stabilizer will move at a
reduced rate.
- Moving the Alternate Pitch trim levers
with A/P engaged will move the

GENERAL TIPS:
• Autopilot and Autoland capability
• Weather and Crosswind Limitations may be a factor
• Weather should be well above minimums.
• For non-normal configuration, landing weight must be at or less than MLW. [3200m up to 5000 will
cover all cases, including factoring when braking action is good].
• Give yourself plenty of time to deal with the checklist and configuring the aircraft early.
• When the non-normal checklist is complete except for deferred items, feel free to access the
approach checklist to view the deferred items to inform the crew what remains to be accomplished i.e.
for planning purposes.
• Do not commence the approach until the non-normal checklist is complete.
• APPROACH SPEEDS generally higher. Use longest runway. Use generous autobrake settings.
FLAPS DRIVE ............................................................................ Caution Message with Beeper
GENERAL:
• If flap asymmetry is detected during extension or retraction, the flap drive shuts down and the EICAS

• If uncommanded flap motion is detected, there is an automatic transfer to the secondary mode. The
EICAS message FLAPS PRIMARY FAIL is displayed. If motion continues, the system shuts down
and the EICAS message FLAPS DRIVE is displayed.
CONDITION:
CHECKLIST:
• Flap drive mechanism has failed.
• Do not use alternate flaps. [Asymmetry and uncommanded motion not provided].
• Do not use FMC fuel predictions with flaps extended.
• DISTANCE TO SUITABLE AIRPORT ÷ SPEED (between current flap maneuvre speed and placard
limit speed) MULTIPLIED BY 60 = TIME. FUEL FLOW x TIME = TRIP FUEL REQUIRED.
• Set the speed and note the fuel flow.
• Add at least 1 tonne on top of this to account for approach allowance plus 30 mins holding.
• Be very conservative.
• Suitable airport choice: weather / approach available / number of runways / terrain etc.
• Do not fly above FL200.
• If flap position UP or 1: Position flap lever to 1 and use Vref30+40 for landing.
• For the remaining flap positions, use current flaps.
• Pitch attitude higher than normal on final approach.
• Fly maneuvre speed until on final approach, then reduce to calculated Vref / Vapp + 5.
• Runway length required 2000m. (MLW / MSL - 5000 / flaps 5 or less). [3300m factored by 1.67].
• Don't float.
• Flaps must be at 20 or 30 to accomplish an autoland.

raw data tuned and displayed on one of the ND's.
• Use FMC Nav Rad page and ND VOR mode for radio navigation. (Fly airways by tracking from
beacon to beacon). NAVRAD Preselect function is useful.
• If FMC MAP is not available for some reason.
o For Oceanic/desert routing: use HDG SEL to keep the track on the ND map the same as that

o Centre pitot static system (CENTRE CHANNEL) is displayed on the standby displays.
Standby displays do not use ADIRU or SAARU air data. SAARU attitude is displayed on the
standby ADI.
o The ADIRU continues to supply attitude information to the PFD's and ND's (AIR DATA / ATT
s/w - norm).
o This is the single channel condition. Information from air data sources is no longer being
combined for display. Automatic fault detection is no longer available but the information is
displayed separately and independently.
o NB: The sources here are different - do not confuse with Single Source Displays (SGL

- Center Fuel pumps have higher output pressure than main tanks and are used for fuel feed
and fuel jettison.
- A DC fuel pump in the left main fuel tank feeds fuel to the APU until AC power is established.
- Jettison pumps in each main tank assist in jettisoning fuel from all 3 tanks.
- FQIS (Fuel Quantity Indicating System) utilizes height and density to calculate fuel quantity.
- Left forward fuel pump operates automatically to provide fuel to the APU regardless of switch
position.
- Scavenge pumps automatically transfer any residual fuel from the center tank to the main
tanks.
- Arming the Fuel Jettison system displays the fuel jettison synoptic.
• Fuel to remain display replaces the fuel quantity/temp display
• Fuel to remain display initializes at a weight that will leave the aircraft at MLW.
• Fuel Jettison will start when Fuel Jettison nozzles are selected on.
• Stand pipes in the main tanks ensure at least 5,200 kgs will remain in each main tank.
• All center tank fuel can be jettisoned.
• Fuel jettison automatically terminates when the fuel to remain target fuel is reached.

FUEL AUTO JETTISON ............................................................. Caution Message with Beeper
CONDITION:
• Fuel Jettison Automatic Shutoff is Inoperative OR Total Fuel is LESS then FUEL TO REMAIN and
One Nozzle Valve is Open.
REASON:
• This may be due to the fact that One or More Tank Quantity Indications is Blank so the Automatic
Shutoff cannot operate without this data
NOTES:
• Whenever dumping is to take place take note of the following:
• Fuel in each tank
• Time to dump
• Time dump began
• This is because if the tank indicator fails halfway thru the dump, you will not know how much you
have dumped
• The fuel dumping will have to be Manually Terminated by estimating the Time to Dump using:
• 2500 Kg / Min Jettisoning All Tanks
• 1400 Kg / Min Jettisoning Main Tanks Only
• When Jettisoning is Complete, turn OFF the Fuel Jettison Nozzle Switches and the Fuel Jettison Arm
Switch.
• Some ways to help Jettison Calculations with no tank indication:
• Centre tank decreases at 1100 kgs/min. Therefore divide the centre tank fuel quantity by 1100 to
calculate how long to jettison centre tank. The main tanks decrease at 1400kgs/min.
• If Centre tank quantity indications are inoperative: centre tank is empty when synoptic pump lights
amber & fuel low centre message is displayed.
• Note: If fuel quantity indicators are inoperative, be conservative. Rather land a few tons overweight
than jettison too much fuel, although the standpipes should protect against disaster.
• The FUEL Line on the PERF INIT Page may be Blank as it is set to Totalizer Value during fuel
jettison and if there is no valid Totalizer Data a Manual Entry must be made for VNAV Operation. A
Manual Entry can only be done 5 Mins after fuel jettison is complete. Enter current estimated total fuel
in the fuel line box prompts on the PERF INIT page. This provides gross weight data for FMC
calculations and allows VNAV to be re-engaged.
• Stand pipes ensure that a minimum of 5.2T of fuel remains in each main tank after fuel jettison.
(10.4T total).
• An -IGW A/C at a max ZFW of 195.0 tons. To land at MLW of 208.6T, fuel remaining after fuel jettison
will be 13.0T.
• An A market a/c at a max ZFW of 190.5tons. To land at MLW of 201.8T, fuel remaining after fuel
jettison will be 11.0T.
• Therefore, assuming the worst case of the A/C at max ZFW, an -IGW a/c will have sufficient fuel for a
350nm diversion with full reserves whilst an A market a/c will have sufficient fuel for a 250nm
diversion with full reserves.

NOTES:

• TECHNICAL EXPLANATION - C HYD SYSTEM ISOLATION
o If a leak occurs and airspeed is greater than 60kts; when a low quantity condition is sensed
(Qty @ 0.4), both isolation valves close. The C1 electric/primary pump is isolated and will
operate regardless of switch position. The ALTN/RSV brakes and nose gear & steering are
isolated from the rest of the Centre hydraulic system.
o The leading edge slats are isolated and not allowed to operate in the primary (hydraulic) mode.
If the system (CHIS) determines that both engines are running, the LE slats are reconnected to
the C hydraulic system within a few seconds and can operate in the primary mode. The reason
for this is to preserve remaining C system hydraulic fluid in case the low quantity condition was
caused by an uncontained engine failure that may have damaged hydraulic lines supplying the
leading edge devices.
o If the hydraulic quantity continues to decrease to the standpipe level (Qty @ 0.0), the isolation
was unsuccessful and the leak is assumed to be elsewhere.
o The left isolation valve re-opens so that the nose gear and steering and the ALTN/RSV brakes
have hydraulic fluid.
o If after isolation the quantity does not reduce further and hydraulic pressure remains normal i.e.
the isolation was successful (i.e. leak could be in the ALTN / RSV brakes line), the isolation
valves remain close and only open when:
o Landing gear down and
o L and R primary pumps are providing pressure.
o However, below 60kts after landing the left isolation valve opens to power the nose gear
steering.
o If the reservoir has a leak all the fluid may leak out. This means that even the nose gear and
steering and the ALTN/RSV brakes will not have sufficient hydraulic fluid to operate.
• LOSS OF ADP's.
o EICAS messages HYD PRESS DEM C1 & HYD PRESS DEM C2 or BLEED LOSS BODY
indicates that the ADP's are not powered. Flaps and Slats may go to secondary mode and the
FLAPS PRIMARY FAIL, SLATS PRIMARY FAIL messages will be displayed due to high
hydraulic demand during flap retraction / retraction. Gear retraction will take 3 minutes. If an
engine is inoperative, avoid high terrain airports / high-density altitude airports. Try to opt
for an ILS, good weather etc and get an early landing clearance.

• Landing Gear:
o Use alternate gear extension (Electric hydraulic pump using residual/minimal C. system fluid
releases all landing gear and doors uplock hooks - gear free falls).
o No truck tilt. Gear doors remain open - EICAS Gear Doors.
o Cannot retract gear.
o Suggest extending flaps to 20 prior to the FAF/FAP or in the hold. At FAF/GS capture - gear
down (Landing assured i.e. landing clearance received.)
o Good planning required.
o Good weather to ensure a landing. If there is any chance of a missed approach consider:
o Consider diverting to an airport that has good weather and no high terrain on the missed
approach.
o Fuel required for an alternate airport close by within gear down range.
o Landing gear cannot be retracted. Only extend it when landing assured. Advise ATC and ask
for an early landing clearance.
o With an engine inoperative, it is critical that the landing gear only be extended when landing
assured. E.g. runway visual, a/c in the slot and landing clearance received. Therefore good
weather is essential. Do not attempt a go - around.
o For non-normal configuration, do not land above MLW. (unless fuel rqd for a gear down
diversion puts you slightly above MLW).
o Accomplish all applicable non-normal procedures prior to commencing final approach.

BRAKE TEMP
CONDITION:
• Temperature of one or more brakes is excessive.
REASON:
CHECKLIST:
• In-flight: Extend the gear, when BRAKE TEMP message no longer displayed, wait a further 8 minutes
then retract the gear.
• Ground: Refer to the brake-cooling table.
NOTES:
• On Ground
o Scenarios. After RTO or After Landing
o Clear the Runway
o Refer to Brake cooling schedule
o Brake Cooling Schedule
o Due to brake cooling fans, on EK aircraft the BTMS is only accurate when:
o Landing gear is retracted or
o When parked after the fans have stopped running.
o Brake temperature monitor system (BTMS) indication on EICAS may be used 10 - 15 minutes
after the aircraft has come to a complete stop, or in-flight with gear retracted to determine the
recommended cooling schedule.
GEAR DISAGREE ..................................................................... Caution Message with Beeper
CONDITION:
• Gear position disagrees with landing gear lever position
REASON:
NOTES:
• The expanded gear position indication displays the position of each landing gear:
o UP - the associated landing gear is up and locked.
o Crosshatch - the associated landing gear is in transit.
o Empty box - the associated landing gear position indicators are inoperative.
CHECKLIST: During Retraction
• If landing gear lever up:
o Observe the gear extend limit speed (270/.82M) [From the Gear Door checklist]
o Flight with gear down increases fuel consumption and decreases climb performance - refer
QRH Performance Inflight Gear Down performance tables.
o FMC is unpredictable Use PI – Gear Down
o Continue or return. Continuing will have a huge penalty and the gear may not come down.
o Usually best to return unless weather poor or departure airport has terrain difficulties.
Option 1: return to departure airport. (Consider weather and chance of successful return.
Terrain / missed approach gradient).
Option 2: continue to destination. (Sufficient fuel?)
Option 3: enroute airport.
• Get to a good airfield, as a Partial Gear Up Landing will probably be made. Wx, RFF
• Contact Engineering
• Try Cycling Gear – Maybe not – checklist does not suggest this. Try to ask engineering
• Is gear up or in transit?
• Fuel required to continue: (assuming at MLW)
o 100nms: 5.2T + 1.0 + 6T (30mins holding) = 12.2T / 12.5 T minimum. [FL190 / FL 200
Time 0:30 Vref30 + 80]
o 200nms: 9.6T + 1.0T + 6T(30mins holding) = 16.6 / 17.0 T minimum. [FL 210 / FL 220
Time 0:55 Vref30 + 80]
o 400nms: 16.6T + 1.0T + 6T(30mins holding) = 23.6 / 24.0 T minimum.[FL 210 / FL 220
Time 1:35 Vref30 + 80]
• Altitude / performance capability enroute terrain, missed approach gradient at airport of departure and
destination.
o At MLW max altitude - FL 220 / FL 230.
o At MTOW, max altitude - FL 120 / FL 130.

Page 129 of 135 14. LANDING GEAR SYSTEMS EXPANDED QRH B-777 SYSTEMS
NOTES:
• QRH – Do not exceed 270/.82 M. This will require speed intervention in VNAV or FLCH. Then put the
correct speeds in the FMC. Note, be careful about putting M.82 into the FMC as the FMC will target
this in the cruise.
• Cycling the landing gear - could cause worse problems i.e. gear disagree.
• Implications of continued flight versus returning.
• No documented fuel / drag penalties.
• FMC performance predictions will be unreliable – refer to PI Gear Down for a conservative approach
• There will be a performance penalty but not huge – certainly less than with gear down
• This could well be connected to further landing gear problems, therefore avoid airports which could
contribute to a gear down missed approach gear down diversion / partial gear up landing. (Consider
weather / precision approach / number of runways / terrain).
• Long haul flight - slow speed / fuel rqts / stress on gear doors.
• FCTM: 3.11 Avoid using gear for drag above 200kts as this will reduce gear door life
• Ask engineering where they want the aircraft to go
μ GEAR LEVER LOCKED DOWN
CONDITION:
• Landing gear lever cannot be positioned to up.
REASON:
• Possible causes are but not limited to failure of air/ground sensors on the main beams or failure of the
solenoid in the lock override.
ACTION:
• Initially leave the landing gear down unless an engine failure occurs and / or performance requires
that the gear be raised.
• Consider using basic modes to accelerate i.e. when VNAV engages and begins the acceleration,
intervene by setting the flaps up speed and engaging FLCH at flap 1 as per normal.
• After flap retraction read the unannunciated GEAR LEVER LOCKED DN checklist.
CHECKLIST:
• Landing Gear Lever Lock - Push and hold
• Landing Gear Lever - Up.
NOTES:
• If landing gear stuck down due to failure of air/ground sensors other inoperative systems / indications
include:
o Status messages include - Air / Gnd sensor Door flight locks unlocked.
o TCAS fail.
o Fuel Jettison. (Since fuel jettison cannot operate on the ground). The EICAS messages FUEL
JETT NOZZLE L/R are displayed. These messages have no icons but the condition statement
reads: jettison nozzle valve is not in the commanded position. Therefore commit to an airport
(have another runway available). Land overweight (F20 or F30/25) or burn off fuel. Landing with
less than 20.0T overweight requires only a minor check. Consider number of engines operating
/ go around gradient / weather / number of runways etc.
o Pressurization. Aircraft will not pressurize. Cabin Altitude Warning at 10 000ft. Cabin can be
maintained manually but workload is high. (Use the table in the Cabin Altitude Auto ECL).

TAIL SKID
CONDITION:
REASON:
NOTES:
TIRE PRESS
CONDITION:
REASON:
NOTES:
• Use Synoptic to determine Low or NO Tire pressure
• LOW tire press – Little Impact
• NO tire press – Tire has possibly burst
• Consider Airframe Damage
• Consider Debris on Runway
• If there are other malfunctions or vibrations – consider airframe damage and possibility of a return.
• Check Hydraulic Quantities
• If there is evidence of damage consider returning weather and performance permitting
• FOM says captains should be reluctant to continue as damage may show up later
• Consider extending the gear early to ensure that it does extend
• If tire explodes in wheel well the ramifications may be:
• Loss of Hydraulic Qty or Sys Pressure
• Wheel Well Fire
• Gear Disagree
