CI.1 Checklist Introduction-Normal Checklists
Introduction
Checklists contain, in abbreviated form, information required by the trained flight
crew to operate the airplane in normal situations and to cope with non-normal
situations. This introduction contains guidelines for operation with the printed
version of the checklists contained in the Quick Reference Handbook (QRH).
A table of contents is provided for each section except Section 1, Normal
Checklists.
Normal Checklist Operation
Normal checklists are organized by phase of flight and are used to verify that
certain critical procedural steps have been accomplished. Only procedural steps
that, if omitted, would have a direct and adverse impact on normal operations are
included.
Normal checklists are used by the flight crew after accomplishing all applicable
procedural items. When parked at the gate, the captain calls for checklists. During
taxi, the pilot taxiing calls for checklists. After takeoff, the pilot flying calls for
checklists. Each crewmember responds for systems and controls in the
crewmember’s area of responsibility. However, in the Before Takeoff and Landing
checklists the pilot flying verifies and responds to checklist items.
The position of the control or indication is visually verified and stated in response
to a checklist challenge. When a disagreement between the response and checklist
answer occurs, it is mandatory that the checklist be discontinued until the item is
resolved. Following the completion of each normal checklist, the crewmember
reading the checklist states, “________ CHECKLIST COMPLETE.”
