Expanded Normal Procedures
Checklist Usage
Normal Procedures
Tasks are executed in one of two ways:
• as a sequence that uses the layout of the cockpit
controls and indicators as cues (i.e., “flow pattern”)
• as a sequence of tasks organized by event rather than
panel location (e.g., After Takeoff, Gear – RETRACT,
Yaw Damper – ENGAGE).
Placing items in a flow pattern or series provides organization
and serves as a memory aid.
A challenge-response review of the checklist follows execution
of the tasks; the PM calls the item, and the appropriate pilot
responds by verifying its condition (e.g., Engine Anti-Ice
(challenge) – ON (response).
Two elements are inherent in execution of normal procedures:
• use of either the cockpit layout or event cues to prompt
correct switch and/or control positions
• use of normal checklist as “done” lists.
