If the masks fall, the call “Cabin crew rapid descent, rapid descent” also advises
· PF actions……………….……....……..Monitor
the SCCM that the FCM are conscious & protected.
· Advise ATC about heading & final level
· Lower altitude (level)…………………………………………………………....Set on MCP

Lowest safe altitude or 10,000 ft AMSL/FL100 whichever is higher.
· Consider turn

OM A v10 The rapid descent is normally made with the landing gear up. However, when <<CABIN ALTITUDE NON-NORMAL
OM B v11 structural integrity is in doubt & airspeed must be limited, extension of thelanding CHECKLIST complete>>
gear may provide a more satisfactory rate of descent. If the landing gear is to be
used during descent, comply with the landing gear placard speeds.
· Speed, heading & altitude (level)…..…………….Adjust again more precisely
<<2000FT to level off>>
· IAS/MACH……………………………..
…..SET “Speed as needed” (PF)
· Oxygen mask & regulators………………………….As needed (Both) Reduces rate of descent
At level off altitude (If at or below 10.000 ft AMSL & one at a time).
· Analyse situation……………………………………………………………(CPT)
· Alert call to the cabin……………………..…………...………………..(CPT) <<1000FT to level off>>
· Receive cabin report……………………………………………………...(CPT) · Speedbrakes…..Retract (PF)
· Determine next course of action……………………………………(CPT)
During unpressurized flight, minimize rate of descent or climb to
maximum 1.000 fpm to ensure passenger comfort.
