Cirrus SR20 and SR22 Flight Operations Manual
Section 3 Standard Operating Procedures
Checklist Completion for Normal Procedures
Normal procedure checklists can be completed as a flow pattern or a
do-list. The appropriate method for checklist completion for each
normal procedure is indicated in the procedures section for each
phase of flight.
Do-List: A do-list checklist is executed by reading the
checklist item and selecting the appropriate
condition of the item. Do-lists are used when
procedure sequence and/or item condition is
critical to completion of the procedure and when
ample time exists for completion of the checklist.
Flow Pattern: The term “flow pattern” refers to a logical path
through the cockpit that the pilot will move along
during the execution of the checklist. Flow patterns
use a “do and verify” approach to checklist
completion. The items and their conditions are
memorized and executed without immediate
reference to the written checklist. Following
completion of the flow pattern, the checklist is
referenced as soon as time and workload permit to
ensure procedure completion.
When used properly, flow patterns allow timely
configuration of the aircraft for the appropriate flight
condition. Flow patterns are used when procedure
sequence and aircraft condition is not critical and
there is an operational advantage to executing the
checklist items in a timely manner.
