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. Supplementary procedures are done
as needed, for example the adverse weather procedures. (Refer to Chapter SP,
Supplementary Procedures
, for additional information.)
Normal procedures are used by a trained flight crew and assume:
• all systems operate normally
• the full use of all automated features (LNAV, VNAV, autoland, autopilot,
and autothrottle)
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 lights or indications to verify each system's condition or
configuration.
If there is an incorrect configuration or response:
• verify that the system controls are set correctly
• check the respective circuit breaker as needed. Maintenance must first
determine that it is safe to reset a tripped circuit breaker on the ground
• test the respective system light as needed
