EMERGENCY DESCENT

An Emergency Descent should be initiated whenever a
situation occurs at high altitude requiring a high rate of
descent. This is done in order to minimize exposure of
the crew and passengers to an uncontrolled fire or when
smoke, toxic fumes, or other situation threatens control of
the airplane through incapacitation or restricted visibility
for the pilot (See paragraph, FIRE IN FLIGHT 3.4.6).
Retard throttle to IDLE.
Trim airplane for maximum allowed indicated airspeed
appropriate to the configuration selected and the
atmospheric conditions. Advise the control center if flight
path is in an airway. The maximum rate of descent with
flaps up may be obtained by diving the aircraft to 141
mph or 122 knots (IAS) and adjusting the throttle so as
not to exceed 2750 rpm.
