Flow Patterns
Flow patterns are an integral part of the SOP. Accomplish the
cockpit setup for each phase of flight with a flow pattern, then
refer to the checklist to verify the setup. Use normal checklists
as “done lists” rather than “do lists.”
Flow patterns are disciplined procedures; they require pilots
who understand the aircraft systems/controls and who method-
ically accomplish the flow pattern.
Checklists
Use a challenge-response method to execute any checklist.
After the PF initiates the checklist, the PM challenges by read-
ing the checklist item aloud. The PF is responsible for verifying
that the items designated as PF or his seat position (i.e., LH or
RH) are accomplished and for responding orally to the chal-
lenge. Items designated on the checklist as PM or by his seat
position are the PM's responsibility. The PM accomplishes an
item, then responds orally to his own challenge. In all cases,
the response by either pilot is confirmed by the other and any
disagreement is resolved prior to continuing the checklist.
After the completion of any checklist, the PM states “_______
checklist is complete.” This allows the PF to maintain situa-
tional awareness during checklist phases and prompts the PF
to continue to the next checklist, if required.
Effective checklists are pertinent and concise. Use them the
way they are written: verbatim, smartly, and professionally.
Omission of Checklists
While the PF is responsible for initiating checklists, the PM
should ask the PF whether a checklist should be started if, in
his opinion, a checklist is overlooked. As an expression of good
crew resource management, such prompting is appropriate for
any flight situation: training, operations, or checkrides.
