General
Information
Definitions
LH/RH: Pilot Station. Designation of
seat position for accomplishing a
given task because of proximity to the
respective control/indicator. Regard-
less of PF or PM role, the pilot in that
seat performs tasks and responds to
checklist challenges accordingly.
PF: Pilot Flying. The pilot responsi-
ble for controlling the flight of the
aircraft.
PIC: Pilot-in-Command. The pilot
responsible for the operation and
safety of an aircraft during flight
time.
PM: Pilot Monitoring. The pilot
who is not controlling the flight of
the aircraft.
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 check-
list to verify the setup. Use normal
checklists as “done lists” rather than
“do lists.”
Flow patterns are disciplined proce-
dures; they require pilots who under-
stand the aircraft systems/controls
and who methodically accomplish
the flow pattern.
A standardized flow pattern for the
cockpit setup before starting engines
appears in the Preflight Inspection
chapter.
Checklists
Use a challenge-response method to
execute any checklist. After the PF
initiates the checklist, the PM chal-
lenges by reading the checklist item
aloud. The PF is responds to the
checklist items designated as PF by
visual confirmation and oral
response.
Items designated on the checklist as
PM or by his seat position are the
PM's responsibility. The PM accom-
plishes the 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 check-
list, the PM states “_______ check-
list is complete.” This allows the PF
to maintain situational awareness
during checklist phases and prompts
the PF to continue to the next check-
list, 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 initi-
ating 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, opera-
tions, or check rides.
Challenge/No Response
If the PM observes and challenges a
flight deviation or critical situation,
the PF should respond immediately.
If the PF does not respond by oral
communication or action, the PM
must issue a second challenge that is
loud and clear. If the PF does not
respond after the second challenge,
the PM must ensure the safety of the
aircraft. The PM must announce that
he is assuming control and then take
the necessary actions to return the
aircraft to a safe operating envelope.
NOTE:
“Control” means responsi-
bility for flight control of the air-
craft, whether manual or automatic.
