The pilot flying may also direct reference checklists to be done by memory if no
hazard is created by such action, or if the situation does not allow reference to the
checklist.
Checklists include an Inoperative Items table only when the condition of the items
is needed for planning the rest of the flight. The inoperative items, including the
consequences (if any), are read aloud by the pilot monitoring. The pilot flying
does not need to repeat this information but must acknowledge that the
information was heard and understood.
After completion of the non–normal checklist, normal procedures are used to
configure the airplane for each phase of flight.
When there are no deferred items, the DESCENT, APPROACH and LANDING
normal checklists are used to verify that the configuration is correct for each phase
of flight.
When there are deferred items, the non-normal checklist will include the item
“Checklist Complete Except Deferred Items.” The pilot flying is to be made
aware when there are deferred items. These items are included in the Deferred
Items section of the checklist and may be delayed until the usual point during
descent, approach or landing.
The deferred items are read aloud by the pilot monitoring. The pilot flying or the
pilot monitoring takes action based on each crewmember’s area of responsibility.
After moving the control, the crewmember taking the action also states the
response.
The Deferred Items section of the non-normal checklist includes the Descent,
Approach and Landing normal checklists if one or more of the following occur:
• an item is deferred until after the Descent Checklist
• a normal checklist response is changed as a result of the non-normal
situation. (The changed response is printed in bold type.)
Use these checklists instead of the usual DESCENT, APPROACH and
LANDING normal checklists. The pilot flying or the pilot monitoring responds to
the deferred normal checklist items based on each crewmember’s area of
responsibility. However, during the deferred Landing normal checklist, the pilot
flying responds to all deferred normal checklist items.
Each checklist has a checklist complete symbol at the end. The following symbol
indicates that the checklist is complete:
The checklist complete symbol can also be in the body of the checklist. This only
occurs when a checklist divides into two or more paths. Each path can have a
checklist complete symbol at the end. The flight crew does not need to continue
reading the checklist after the checklist complete symbol.
