Normal Operations Checklists
Cautions & Notes
Aborted Start - ENG MASTER OFF, Dry crank 30 s then 30 s rest. Engines started in pairs (1 & 2, then 3 & 4) per current Airbus A340 SOP. Air Canada A340s use CFM56-5C4 engines.
Taxi – Brake check at first movement “Brakes checked, pressure ___”.
Landing – Reverse idle at 60 kt. Speed brake auto-deploy on touchdown. ECAM LDG MEMO must show all blue (LDG GEAR DN, SIGNS ON, CABIN READY, SPLRS ARM, FLAPS LDG).
ENGINE FIRE or SEVERE DAMAGE (In‑Flight)
| Step | Action |
|---|
| 1 | Thrust lever (affected) -> IDLE |
| 2 | ENG MASTER (affected) -> OFF |
| 3 | Wait 10 s (FSOVs close, engine spools down) |
| 4 | ENG FIRE P/B (affected) -> PUSH (isolates fuel, electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic) |
| 5 | AGENT 1 -> DISCHARGE |
| 6 | If fire persists after 30 s -> AGENT 2 -> DISCHARGE |
EMERGENCY DESCENT
| Item | Action |
|---|
| Crew OXY masks | USE (100% / EMERGENCY) |
| Communication | ESTABLISH (interphone / boom) |
| If cabin alt > 14 000 ft | PAX OXY → MAN ON |
| Speed Brake | FULL |
| Thrust | IDLE |
| Target Speed | VMO / MMO |
| Target Alt | FL 100 or MSA |
| ATC | NOTIFY – Squawk 7700 |
