DESCENT
DESCENT (Checklist)
LANDING DATA ............................................................................................................ PREPARED
1.
Make sure the bugs are set correctly on the Mach/Airspeed indicator. Use the Speed
Cards to set the bugs for landing.
PRESSURIZATION ............................................................................................. SET AND CHECKED
2.
Set the cabin landing altitude to destination field elevation.
3.
Set the destination field barometric pressure as advised by ATC.
4.
Check that the Cabin Vertical Speed indicator indicates a descent. Descent speed
should be less than -500 FPM for passenger comfort.
5.
Check that the Cabin Differential Pressure is decreasing.
ENG SYNC ................................................................................................................................ OFF
6.
Set the ENG SYNC selector to OFF.
ENGINE IGNITION ............................................................................................................. CONTIN
7.
Set the Engine Ignition switch to CONTIN.
ENGINE AND AIRFOIL ANTI-ICE ............................................................................. AS REQUIRED
8.
If icing conditions are anticipated, turn on engine and airfoil anti-ice.
WINDSHIELD ANTI-FOG ........................................................................................... AS REQUIRED
9.
If you expect to descend into an area with high humidity or rain, turn on windshield anti-
fog. Note that this system should be used for anti-fogging rather than defogging.
SHOULDER HARNESSES ............................................................................................................. ON
10.
Make sure you are securely strapped in.
DESCENDING THRU FL180 OR LEAVING CRUISE ALTITUDE, WHICHEVER IS LOWER
The next part of the checklist should be completed when the aircraft has descended through
FL180, or when leaving a cruising altitude lower than FL180.
EXTERIOR LIGHTS ..................................................................................................... AS REQUIRED
11.
At the Captain’s discretion, the wing landing lights and/or ground flood lights may be
turned on for recognition purposes. Note that extending the wing landing lights above
200 knots may cause a slight buffet.
ALTIMETERS...................................................................................... RESET AND CROSSCHECKED
12.
Inside Continental U.S. the altimeters should be set to the local barometric pressure
setting as advised by ATC. Outside Continental U.S. altimeters should be reset when
descending to an altitude…
13.
…below the Transition Level obtained from charts or ATC. After resetting the altimeters,
crosscheck indicated altitude. (QNH)
