General
This chapter gives:
• an introduction to the normal procedures philosophy and assumptions
• step by step normal procedures.
Normal Procedures Philosophy and Assumptions
Normal procedures verify for each phase of flight that:
• the airplane condition is satisfactory
• the flight deck configuration is correct.
Normal procedures are done on each flight. Refer to the Supplementary
Procedures (SP) chapter for procedures that are done as needed, for example the
adverse weather procedures.
Normal procedures are written for a trained flight crew and assume:
• all systems operate normally
• the full use of all automated features (LNAV, VNAV, autoland,
autopilot, and autothrottle). This does not preclude the possibility of
manual flight for pilot proficiency where allowed
Normal procedures also assume coordination with the ground crew before:
• hydraulic system pressurization, or
• flight control surface movement, or
• airplane movement.
Normal procedures do not include steps for flight deck lighting and crew comfort
items.
Normal procedures are done by memory and scan flow. The panel illustration in
this section shows the scan flow. The scan flow sequence may be changed as
needed.
Configuration Check
It is the crew member’s responsibility to verify correct system response. Before
engine start, use system lights to verify each system's condition or configuration.
After engine start, the master caution system alerts the crew to warnings or
cautions away from the normal field of view.
