The pilot flying does not need to repeat this information but must acknowledge
that the information was heard and understood. The item numbers do not need to
be read. It is recommended that the flight crew read aloud all the choices in a
"Choose one" step before taking action, to reduce the chance of error.
For checklists with memory items, the pilot monitoring first verifies that each
memory item has been done. The checklist is normally read aloud during this
verification. The pilot flying does not need to respond except for items that are not
in agreement with the checklist. The item numbers do not need to be read.
Non-memory items are called reference items. The pilot monitoring reads aloud
the reference items, including:
• the precaution (if any)
• the response or action
• any amplifying information.
The pilot flying does not need to repeat this information but must acknowledge
that the information was heard and understood. The item numbers do not need to
be read.
The word “Confirm” is added to checklist items when both crewmembers must
verbally agree before action is taken. During an inflight non-normal situation,
verbal confirmation is required for:
• an engine thrust lever
• an engine start lever
PM410, PM411, PQ487, PT804 - PT832
• an engine or APU fire switch
PM398, PP518, PP519, PQ976
• an engine, APU or cargo fire switch
• a generator drive disconnect switch
• an IRS mode selector when only one IRS is failed
• a flight control switch
This does not apply to the Loss of Thrust on Both Engines checklist.
With the airplane stationary on the ground:
• the captain and first officer take action based on preflight and postflight
areas of responsibility;
• during an evacuation, the first officer sets the flap lever to 40.
With the airplane in flight or in motion on the ground:
• the pilot flying and the pilot monitoring take action based on each
crewmember’s Areas of Responsibility.
After moving the control, the crewmember taking the action also states the
checklist response.
