QRH and its use

QRH (Quick Reference Handbook) and it’s use

The QRH (Quick Reference Handbook) is, among other things, a quick access book to consult problems that may appear in cockpit.

In the latest generation aircraft (and most Airbus) technical problems that may appear are managed by a computer that detects the problem and displays the list of steps to be carried out, so that when carrying out these steps, these are deleted until they are all done.

Other airplanes of older conception do not have this system (ECAM called in Airbus) and some of the problems that can occur do not appear in the ECAM because it is impossible to centralize all the possible problems in a computer.

Which produces the following situations:

Interpret what problem we have on board
Ask for the correct list.
Boeing pilots (especially the 737) know that you have to first determine what problem we have and then make the memory items if they are there and then ask for the correct emergency list.

This is why we find it important in Qrewmentor to know or identify the emergency scenario in which we find ourselves (it usually comes at the beginning of the QRH list), to remember the memory items by the correct steps and names, and to know which list we should ask for to Pilot Monitoring.
So the steps to determine are:

• understand the situations and how the plane communicates them to us
• Carry out the memory steps in the established order, without
  hurry, but without pause
• Request (and execute) the correct list, knowing the name of the same.
• Communicate to all those who are affected and/or can help (Crew, ATC, Passengers, Company).
• 
  It is a concept of airmanship that we believe is necessary because in cockpit there are three elements that communicate and that must be understood.
  the PF
  the PM
  The plane.
• 
  Wishing that emergencies happen only in the simulator.
• Until then, find peaceful skies.
