Narrative:

QRH omission. Having just completed my simulator training, I discovered that the QRH does not have any reference to a cargo fire EICAS message in the index. The front tab refers to a generic cargo fire situation, but I missed that in going to the index. Without this EICAS message in the QRH index, valuable time is lost looking for the checklist of a potentially critical malfunction. I strongly recommend a change to include this in the index and a message to all B767 crews in the meantime.

Title: B767 CAPT NOTES HIS COMPANY'S QRH DOES NOT HAVE A PROC FOR THE EICAS MESSAGE 'CARGO FIRE.'

Narrative: QRH OMISSION. HAVING JUST COMPLETED MY SIMULATOR TRAINING, I DISCOVERED THAT THE QRH DOES NOT HAVE ANY REF TO A CARGO FIRE EICAS MESSAGE IN THE INDEX. THE FRONT TAB REFERS TO A GENERIC CARGO FIRE SIT, BUT I MISSED THAT IN GOING TO THE INDEX. WITHOUT THIS EICAS MESSAGE IN THE QRH INDEX, VALUABLE TIME IS LOST LOOKING FOR THE CHKLIST OF A POTENTIALLY CRITICAL MALFUNCTION. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND A CHANGE TO INCLUDE THIS IN THE INDEX AND A MESSAGE TO ALL B767 CREWS IN THE MEANTIME.
