Emergency Flight Deck Procedures
This section outlines the steps to remove engine power in case of an emergency. For aircraft equipped with thrust reversers, the procedure involves pulling the detent release lever and moving the thrust reversers to the CUTOFF position. For aircraft without thrust reversers, the lever should be pulled up and moved back to the CUTOFF position.
Engine Fire Emergency Procedures
In the event of an engine fire, the procedure includes lifting the cover and pushing the illuminated LH and/or RH ENG FIRE switch to close the fuel valve and arm the engine extinguisher. This action is crucial for preventing further fuel flow to the engine.
Emergency Access to Fuselage
To access the fuselage in an emergency, cut around a window approximately 4 inches outward from the window periphery. Caution is advised to avoid cutting near aircraft doors or the roof area, where electrical and oxygen lines may be present.
Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT)
The ELT can be turned off using two methods: by setting the ELT ON/TEST AUTO switch on the Co-Pilot's instrument panel to ON/TEST and then back to AUTO, or by switching the ELT from ON to AUTO.
Emergency Exit Procedures
The Beechjet 400/400A has an emergency exit located on the RH side of the passenger compartment. To open the door, push and hold the button near the handle, pull the handle outward, and rotate it to the open position.
Safety notes
- Avoid cutting around aircraft doors or the roof area during emergency access due to stiffening and potential hazards.
- Always ensure the ELT is functioning and accessible in emergencies.
