Your plan should consider weather and approach aids. Add an extra margin of safety for your situation, and any abnormal operating conditions.
Once you have decided on a plan, let ATC know your intentions. Discuss whether you will shut down on the runway or taxi to another area. While the final decision is yours, ATC may want to reroute other traffic, and may have a helpful suggestion or two. Remember to keep any assistants involved in your plan. By using the help available, your chances of covering all the bases are improved.
“Fail-safe crew” The object of “fail-safe crewing” is to provide an adequate number of crew members to cope with flight crew workloads, and to make it possible fully to integrate the flight crew members into a flight crew team so as to establish a crew in which there is always at least one fully competent pilot at the controls. Ideally the actions of each crew member should continuously be monitored by his fellow crew member(s). The concept aims at achieving maximum safety in the operation of the aircraft and equitable distribution of cockpit workload so as to ensure the crew can cope with all requirements including peak demands in adverse weather or under emergency conditions — such as in-flight pilot incapacitation.
The “fail-safe crew” concept is the key ingredient for successfully dealing with any form of pilot incapacitation. Support at all levels of management and pilot representation is needed for the “fail-safe crew” to, in practice, do justice to the concept. Meaningful simulator training, reinforced with a suitable education program, is a requirement.
Follow-up Considerations Preparing for the Arrival
Consider the approach and landing, with a view to minimizing your workload. Avoid any option that involves a maximum performance approach, landing or missed approach procedure.
Prepare passengers and crew for the possibility of an emergency landing. If qualified help is available, delegate the preparation task to them and concentrate on operating the aircraft.
Brief for the approach well back, and configure the aircraft as early as possible.
Approach, Landing and Shutdown Carry out the approach and landing as discusses with ATC and crew. Be aware that rescue vehicles will most likely be there to meet the aircraft.
Once the landing is safely completed, either shut down on the runway or taxi to a rescue area as agreed with ATC. Follow normal procedures, considering the safety of the ground rescue personnel.
Once the aircraft is secured, assist rescuers in their effort to extricate the victim. Ensure that passengers remain seated and deplane after the victim is evacuated.
Cabin Crew Incapacitation In the event of a cabin crewmember being unable to perform his/her duties:
• Flight deck should be notified immediately • Request medical assistance from others onboard • Incapacitated crewmember should be assessed: A-B-C’s, provide oxygen, AED • Administer First Aid as required • If possible, move incapacitated crewmember to a safe & secure location, eg- seat • Assign a passenger to monitor crewmember and report to the flight deck crew regularly • Assign and brief a passenger as an ABP, highlighting door/exit operations and cockpit
