AFH Chapter 1-9 Use of Checklists

 

Use of Checklists 

 

Checklists have been the foundation of pilot standardization and flight deck safety for years. [Figure 1-16] 

 

The checklist is a memory aid and helps to ensure that critical items necessary for the safe operation of aircraft are not overlooked or forgotten. 

 

Checklists need not be “do lists.” 

 

In other words, the proper actions can be accomplished, and then the checklist used to quickly ensure all necessary tasks or actions have been completed with emphasis on the “check” in checklist. 

 

However, checklists are of no value if the pilot is not committed to using them. 

 

Without discipline and dedication to using the appropriate checklists at the appropriate times, the odds are on the side of error. 

 

Pilots who fail to take the use of checklists seriously become complacent and begin to rely solely on memory.

 

 

 

The importance of consistent use of checklists cannot be overstated in pilot training. 

 

A major objective in primary flight training is to establish habit patterns that will serve pilots well throughout their entire flying career. 

 

The flight instructor should promote a positive attitude toward checklist usage, and the learner should realize its importance. 

 

At a minimum, prepared checklists should be used for the following phases of flight: [Figure 1-17] 

 

⦁ Preflight inspection

⦁ Before engine start

⦁ Engine starting

⦁ Before taxiing

⦁ Before takeoff

⦁ After takeoff 

 

⦁ Cruise

⦁ Descent

⦁ Before landing

⦁ After landing

⦁ Engine shutdown and securing

 

 

 

During flight training, there should be a clear understanding between the learner and flight instructor of who has control of the aircraft. 

 

Prior to any flight, a briefing should be conducted that includes the procedures for the exchange of flight controls. 

 

The following three-step process for the exchange of flight controls is highly recommended. 

 

When a flight instructor wishes the learner to take control of the aircraft, he or she should say to the learner, “You have the flight controls.” 

 

The learner should acknowledge immediately by saying, “I have the flight controls.” 

 

The flight instructor should then confirm by again saying, “You have the flight controls.” 

 

Part of the procedure should be a visual check to ensure that the other person actually has the flight controls. 

 

When returning the controls to the flight instructor, the learner should follow the same procedure the instructor used when giving control to the learner. 

 

The learner should stay on the controls until the instructor says, “I have the flight controls.” 

 

There should never be any doubt as to who is flying the airplane at any time. 

 

Numerous accidents have occurred due to a lack of communication or misunderstanding as to who actually had control of the aircraft, particularly between learners and flight instructors. 

 

Establishing the above procedure during initial training ensures the formation of a very beneficial habit pattern.
