TASK 01: Understand how to respond to aircraft
emergencies
1.1 Define the terms planned and unplanned emergencies
•A planned emergency is when the captain has time to inform the cabin
crew and they have time to prepare. In a planned emergency the caption
will have had prior warning of situation and will inform the cabin crew of
the action they need to take. The cabin crew are alerted to the situation
by either a call on the cabin interphone or a coded message on the PA
(public address system)
•An unplanned emergency occurs with no warning and cabin crew must
rely on their initiative and responses developed through their knowledge
and training. An unplanned emergency is more likely to occur during take-
off or landing e.g. a fire in an engine on take-off will require the pilot to
terminate the procedure and is similar to and emergency stop in a car.
The pilot must then carry out a series of actions to complete the
abandoned take-off and maintain control of the aircraft. This may result in
a time delay before being able to inform the cabin crew of exactly what is
happening. This is the reason why cabin crew are trained to go through a
period of silent review when they are seated in their crew positions on
their jump seats for take-off and landing.
