Introduction
This introduction gives guidelines for use of the Normal Checklist (NC).
The NC is organized by phase of flight.
The NC is used to verify that critical items have been done.
Normal Checklist Operation
Normal checklists are used after doing all respective procedural items.
The following table shows which pilot calls for the checklist and which pilot reads
the checklist. Both pilots visually verify that each item is in the needed
configuration or that the step is done. The far right column shows which pilot
gives the response. This is different than the normal procedures where the far right
column can show which pilot does the step.
If the airplane configuration does not agree with the needed configuration:
• stop the checklist
• complete the respective procedure steps
• continue the checklist
If it becomes apparent that an entire procedure was not done:
• stop the checklist
• complete the entire procedure
• do the checklist from the start
