Land as soon as possible. * = Immediate actions Quick memory: OFF / FIRE ? / PUSH / PUSH / DOWN / LASAPosCauses- Fire/overheat condition in corresponding engine/AMAD bay.
RemarksThe probability of extinguishing a fire and preventing delights is greatly increased by immediately discharging the fire extinguisher. Notes15.1 ENGINE FIRE IN FLIGHT See FIRE light in the Warning/Caution/Advisory Displays. If an engine fire is indicated by a FIRE warning light, throttle affected engine OFF. A fire may be confirmed if the FIRE warning light stays on with the throttle OFF, or the light goes off and the system checks bad. For dual FIRE light cases where the pilot is unable to discern which fire light came on first, throttle left and right engine to as low as practical forflight and check engine instruments for engine condition. Once affected engine is determined, throttle affected engine OFF. Prior indications of high fuel flow, high EGT, rough running, or smoke and fumes may also confirm a fire. If engine stall is indicated, immediately place the throttle to OFF. Do not press the FIRE light again, as this will reopen the fuel shutoff valve. With an engine fire, lower hook as soon as possible. Excessive heat on hook release cable may make it impossible to lower the hook.

DCS F-18 - Emergency of the Day 5 - HOOK WarningIN FLIGHT1. Reduce airspeed. If HOOK light remains on - 2. Get a visual inspection (if practical). If the Hook is in the up position - 3. HOOK circuit breaker ... ... ... ... ... PULL If the HOOK light remains and the hook is partially extended - 4. Throttle right engine ... ... ... ... ... ... IDLE for one minute then OFF 5. Reduce airspeed to drop Hyd2 pressure to zero (if practical). 6. Restart for landing. If hook still fails to extend (CV landing) - 7. Divert. If the hook is partially extended - 8. Attempt a normal carrier landing. Quick memory: Reduce / Inspect / PULL / IDLE / Zero / Restart / Divert / Normal CV LandingCause: - Arrester hook position does not agree with HOOK handle position.
- Hook not fully extended with HOOK handle down in flight.
- Hook down with Weight on Wheels
RemarksIf the mechcanical hook uplatch mechanism fails, tje hook cannot be released and an arrested landing is not possible. If the hook is unlocked (HOOK handle down) but fails to leave th up position, an arresting hook system failure may be applying Hyd2B pressure to hold the hook up. For this reason, pulling the HOOK circuit breaker deenergises the hook selector valve and ensures HYD 2B pressue is removed. If the arresting hook is not properly charged, the arresting hook may not fully extend due to airloads and Hyd2B back-pressure. In this case, if reducing airspeed does not extinguish the HOOK light, shutting down the right engine reduces Hyd2B back-pressure and should increase arresting hook extension. After engine restart, the hook may retract at a maximum rate of 2 degrees a minute. If the hook light remains on after this procedure and a visual inspection confirms that the hook is partially extended, a successful arrest net in possible due to g-loads at landing.

Refer to Landing Gear Malfunction Landing Guide. CausesON DECK - Launch bar control malfunction (proximity switch failure).
- If launch bar is down, NWS will disengage.
IN FLIGHT - Launch bar failled to retract after catapult launch (Launch bar not up and locked AND weight off the left main gear).
- launch bar control system malfunction (proximity switch failure).
- With the launch bar down, to engage NWS low gain, push and hold NWS button.
RemarksIf the red L BAR light remain on, assume that the launch bar is NOT up and locked and that it may drop to the deck during landing. The nose landing gear cannot be retracted. Placing the LDG GEAR handle UP raises teh main landing gear and leaves the nose landing gear extended.

DCS F-18 - Emergency of the Day 10 - L AMAD or R AMAD on DDI CautionIN FLIGHT1. Throttle affected engine ... ... ... ... ... ... ... IDLE 2. INTR WING switch ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... NORM If accompanied by BOOST LO caution or GEN caution and more than 5 minutes to landing - 3. Throttle affected engine ... ... ... ... ... ... ... OFF If more than 5 minutes to landing and no accompanied cautions -3. Throttle affected engine ... ... ... ... ... ... ... OFF )if practical) In both cases = 4. Restart for landing (if practical) 5. Land as soon as practical. GROUND6. Throttle affected engine ... ... ... ... ... ... ... OFF (When practical) Causes- Designated AMAD oil temperature high.
- May indicate a fuselage fuel leak.
- May be caused by an overserviced AMAD, AMAD heat exchanger failure, hot fuel recirculating on system failure or motive flow system failure. Low altitude flight on a hot day with less than 4,000 pounds fuel may cause an AMAD caution. A climb to cooler air may reduce AMAD oil temperature. An empty feed tank or BOOST LO caution will cause loss of AMAD cooling. Continued operation with an AMAD caution may cause loss of the assocaited generator.
RemarksDuring ground operation after flight, an AMAD caution may occur due to lack of ram air cooling and low fuel state. Below 1,000 pounds fuel remaining ad above 30 degrees C, an AMAD caution will appear almost immediately. Above 3,000 pounds of fuel remaining and below 30 degrees C, an AMAD caution should not occur. Between these conditions, the time before an AMAD caution will appear is a function of fuel state and ambient temperature (15 minutes at 24 degrees C and 2,000 pounds fuel). Lower fuel quantities and higher ambient temperatures will reduce the time before an AMAD cautions will appear. Shutting down an engine (left engine shutdown preferred) will extend the ground operating time. If the AMAD caution appears, shut down the associated engine. WARNINGProlonged operation of a hot AMAD may result in an engine / AMAD bay fire.

DCS F-18 - Emergency of the Day 12 - ANTI SKID on DDI CautionGROUND1. ANTI SKID switch ... ... ... ... ... ... OFF IN FLIGHTIf more than 30 seconds to landing - 1. ANTI SKID switch ... ... ... ... ... ... CYCLE ONCE If caution reappears of if less than 30 seconds to landing - 2. ANTI SKID switch ... ... ... ... ... ... OFF (DO NOT CYCLE) 3. Consider short field arrest net. 4. If arresting gear not available or not desired, regulate brake pedal force to prevent wheel skid. Causes- Anti-skid system failed BIT. Anti-skid protection not available for use with normal braking.
WARNING- Use of brakes without anti-skid at high speed can result in blown tires resulting in loss of directional control. If practical, rollout speed should be as slow as possible before applying brake pedal pressure.
- Do not cycle the ANTI SKiD switch in response to an ANTI Skid caution immediately prior to landing for the following:
a. The ANTI SKID caution is removed for up to 13.5 seconds as teh system performs IBIT even though the anti-skid system may still be failed. Bb, If teh system is not failed, wheel motion at touchdown or during landing rollout may cause a false BIT failure and a dump of normal brake pressure when brakes are applied.
- If the ANTI SKID switch is not placed OFF with an ANTI SKID caution displayed, normal braking capability may be lost completely.

DCS F-18 - Emergency of the Day 14 - APU ACCUM on DDI CautionAPU ACCUM on DDI and APU ACC on the Annunciation Panel |
If APU ACCUM caution appeared following emergency gear or probe extension -1. HYD ISOL switch ... ... ... ... ... ... ORIDE (until 10 seconds after APU ACCUM caution removed - approximately 20 seconds) Otherwise, if required or desired - 1. HYD ISOL switch ... ... ... ... ... ... ORIDE (10 seconds maximum) If caution remains or returns - 2. Do not select HYD ISOL ORIDE. (To inhibit leaking out HYD 2B.) 3. Extend landing gear as soon as practical. Causes- APU accumulator pressure low
- Possible leak in isolated HYD 2B system
RemarksThe APU ACCUM caution can be expected after APU start or after emergency gear / probe extension in flight. With WonW, the APU accumulator recharges automatically. With WoffW, teh HYD ISOL switch may need to be held for up to 10 seconds following emergency gear / probe extension to remove the APU ACCUM caution and 20 seconds to provide a full charge (up to 40 seconds following in flight APU start). CAUTIONIf the APU ACCUM caution appears in flight and is not related to emergency gear / probe extension or APU start, it may indicate a possible leak in the isolated HYD 2B system.
