Engine Fire Joining LOC on Approach

[777forever]

Cleared for approach and you get an engine fire while joining the LOC. WWYD?

Call dispatch. Ask them to inform your base Chief pilot, Director of Flight Ops, Director of Training, form a committee and suggest a course of action.

Solicit input from the FO, senior FA, find out if there is a doctor on board or anyone with a pilot's license.

Have the FO check all the available airports in the area for better weather, longer runways, type of fire equipment, etc. (the company will want you to go where there is maintenance and cheap fuel)

Decide if there really is a fire.

Verify your fuel status, 'cause by now, you probably have very little left.

Grow a pair - then decide if you want to cover your @$$ or save your @$$.

For me: outside the FAF, declare emergency, run QRH. Inside the FAF - declare emergency, land.

Either way, there'll be no shortage of DSs who'll swear you did it wrong.

Continue the approach

1) Quickly brief a S/E approach.
2) Have the PM run through the QRH for an engine fire while ...
3) Bugging a S/E flap setting and configuring on your own while ...
4) Declaring and informing ATC you cannot take a go-around.
5) Quickly brief the F/A's that there is an engine fire, you're expecting a normal landing in (1, 2 .. minutes) but be mentally prepared for an evac.

After landing ...

6) Ascertain whether the fire is still in progress and if so, evacuate.
7) If not have CFR inspect aircraft before being towed to a remote location for orderly egress.
8) Call ALPA, your CP (brief synopsis,) otherwise keep your mouth shut and file an ASAP.
9)After your testing proceed to the hotel bar, drink heavily and later be fellatioed by the females you saved.

Tell tower and land the plane. The rest can be dealt with on the ground. If you are on one of those 25 mile finals you prob have the time to run the QRH before you land, but I'd be landing as soon as possible.

Get it on the ground- should be the primary concern. Land flaps 20. CRJ-200 WILL NOT FLY single engine, flaps 45. Quick math- double landing distance and consult Vref flaps 20 on the card you have for your weight. Run the card if you can- stop there.

Are you really an airline pilot? What kind of question is this? If you have any type of fire onboard or suspect any type of fire, you declare an emergency and land ASAP. If you don't have enough time to complete the appropriate checklists, you still land ASAP. You should know how to configure your aircraft for a single engine approach without using a checklist. If not, you shouldn't be flying that aircraft.
