FIRE ENG L, R

Condition: Fire is detected in the affected engine.

In Flight → Go to Step 2

Steps 2–6: Memory Items 🔴

CAUTION

MEMORY ITEMS — MUST BE COMPLETED FROM MEMORY

2. A/T ARM switch (affected side) … Confirm … OFF
3. Thrust lever (affected side) … Confirm … Idle
4. FUEL CONTROL switch (affected side) … Confirm … CUTOFF
5. Engine fire switch (affected side) … Confirm … Pull
6. If the FIRE ENG message shows: Engine fire switch (affected side) … Rotate to the stop and hold for 1 second

Reference Items 🟢

• Step 7: If after 30 seconds, the FIRE ENG message shows:
  • Engine fire switch (affected side) … Rotate to the other stop and hold for 1 second
• Step 8: APU selector (if APU available) … START, then ON
• Step 9: Transponder mode selector … TA ONLY
• Step 10: Plan to land at the nearest suitable airport.
• Step 11: Do not accomplish the following checklist: AUTOTHROTTLE

Step 12: Landing Configuration

Choose one:

Landing using flaps 20:

• GND PROX FLAP OVRD switch … OVRD
• Use flaps 20 and VREF 20 for landing, flaps 5 for go-around
• Check Non-Normal Configuration Landing Distance tables for ENG SHUTDOWN L, R (Performance Inflight-QRH or other approved source)

Landing using flaps 30 (if performance allows):

• Use flaps 30 and VREF 30 for landing, flaps 20 for go-around
• Check Non-Normal Configuration Landing Distance tables for ENG SHUTDOWN L, R

On the Ground → Go to Step 13

• Step 13: Thrust levers (both) … Idle C
• Step 14: PARKING BRAKE … Set C
• Step 15: Advise the cabin C
• Step 16: FUEL CONTROL switch (affected side) … CUTOFF C
• Step 17: Engine fire switch (affected side) … Pull F/O
• Step 18: If the FIRE ENG message shows:
  • Engine fire switch (affected side) … Rotate to the stop and hold for 1 second F/O
• Step 19: Choose one:
  • Evacuation is needed → Go to Evacuation checklist
  • Evacuation is not needed → Go to Step 20
• Step 20: Advise the cabin C
• Step 21: Advise ATC F/O

Notes & Gotchas

• Confirm the affected side before pulling the fire switch — wrong side = catastrophic
• After step 11, do NOT run the AUTOTHROTTLE checklist
• Landing distance tables: check the Performance Inflight-QRH section
• Deferred items to be addressed during Descent Checklist (QRH 8.6S)
