NP.11.2 D615Z003-TBC
Before engine start, review the EICAS alert messages and status display. If there
are unexpected messages:
• check the Dispatch Deviations Guide (DDG) or the operator equivalent to
decide if the condition has a dispatch effect
• decide if maintenance is needed
If, during or after engine start, there is an alert message:
• do the respective non-normal checklist (NNC)
• on the ground, check the DDG or the operator equivalent
After engine start, EICAS alert messages are the primary means of alerting the
flight crew to non-normal conditions or incorrect configurations.
After engine start, there is no need to check status messages. Any message that has
an adverse affect on safe continuation of the flight appears as an EICAS alert
message.
Crew Duties
Preflight and postflight crew duties are divided between the captain and first
officer. Phase of flight duties are divided between the Pilot Flying (PF) and the
Pilot Monitoring (PM).
Each crewmember is responsible for moving the controls and switches in their
area of responsibility:
• The phase of flight areas of responsibility for both normal and non-normal
procedures are shown in the Area of Responsibility illustrations in this
section. Typical panel locations are shown
• The preflight and postflight areas of responsibility are defined by the
“Preflight Procedure - Captain” and “Preflight Procedure - First Officer”
The captain may direct actions outside of the crewmember’s area of responsibility.
The general PF phase of flight responsibilities are:
•taxiing
• flight path and airspeed control
• airplane configuration
• navigation
The general PM phase of flight responsibilities are:
• checklist reading
• communications
• tasks asked for by the PF
• monitoring taxiing, flight path, airspeed, airplane configuration, and
navigation
PF and PM duties may change during a flight. For example, the captain could be
the PF during taxi but be the PM during takeoff through landing.
