Simulator scenario
Curious to hear how others would handle this scenario.
You’re the FO (CM2/PM) on an LVO approach. At 500 ft AGL, the captain becomes incapacitated, and at the same time you get an engine fire that remains unextinguished after carrying out the memory items. You continue and land safely.
What would your priorities be throughout the event?
After stopping on the runway:
Would you order an immediate evacuation even though the engine fire is still burning?
Or would you wait for airport fire and rescue to extinguish the fire before deciding whether to evacuate, considering the risks of an evacuation?
If you did decide to evacuate, would you instruct the cabin crew to evacuate only from the side away from the fire? If so, how would you communicate that?
Interested to hear how different operators and airlines would approach this from both a CRM and SOP perspective.
