Introduction This document contains three main sections:

1. Normal Checklist 2. Normal Checklist Explanation 3. Standard Operating Procedures Amplified (SOPA)

1. Normal Checklist The flight crew uses the checklist (pages 3-4) on every flight and for every phase of flight for which a checklist has been established. 2. Normal Checklist Explanation The Normal Checklist Explanation (pages 6-16) provides a detailed explanation of individual items of the Normal Checklist where needed. Checklist Usage Before using the checklist, each crewmember configures the controls and

systems in accordance with the appropriate SOPA flow pattern. Crewmembers use the checklist to verify switch or system configuration only

after the flight deck has been set up or a flow pattern accomplished. The checklist functions as a “check” list, not a “do” list. The philosophy is to accomplish the flow pattern at the appropriate time. When the checklist is called for, read each checklist item and verify switch or

system configuration. When reading the checklist, the crew will progress to the next item only after the

pilot responding visually confirms the proper switch position or system configuration.

The SECURING CHECK is the only exception to the “do” and “check” philosophy. The items on this checklist are not performed as part of a flow pattern. The SECURING CHECK is used as a “read and do” checklist.

The crewmember indicated at the top of the left column will read the checklist.

The crewmember indicated at the top of the right column will respond to the checklist.

Items that require a response from a specific crewmember will identify the responding individual: Captain (C), First Officer (FO), Pilot Flying (PF), Pilot Monitoring (PM), and (BOTH) for both Pilots.

To reduce distraction, some checklist items are read and verified silently. These items are identified with a bracket [ ] around the response.

Use the specific wording of each challenge and response for all normal situations.

When an item allows a choice of responses, such as Engine Anti-Ice - OFF (ON), the choices are listed and the appropriate response should be given.

Where a blank “____” appears in the challenge or response, use the actual value (Example “Altimeters.....29.82 IN”).

2/33 ©2015 True Course Simulations

When a checklist response does not allow the use of a specific switch position, the following terms are used as a response:

• NORMAL indicates that gauges and/or instruments are within normal limits.

• SET indicates that panel switches or knobs are moved to the correct position or value.

• CHECKED means that controls or other systems have been evaluated/tested.

The checklist is designed for an aircraft with all systems operating normally. When an Engineering Order, Operating Bulletin, MEL, Maintenance Action, Emergency, or Abnormal Procedure alters the normal position of the switch or control, crewmembers will respond to the checklist challenge with the actual position of the switch, control, or system. For example, if the Ice Protection is inoperative, the response should be OFF.

After a particular checklist is totally complete, the pilot reading the checklist will state “____ CHECK COMPLETE”.

(Example: “APPROACH CHECK COMPLETE”)

Crews should accomplish each checklist from beginning to end without interruption. If this cannot be done, either because of an interruption or because an item on the checklist cannot yet be completed, do not stow the checklist, but place it over the ECAM control panel forward of the thrust levers. When the checklist item is accomplished, the crewmember reading the checklist will repeat the challenge. The crewmember responding will give the proper response, and the crew will continue with the remainder of the checklist.

Do not skip a checklist item that cannot be accomplished and then depend on memory to accomplish the item later.

3. Standard Operating Procedures- Amplified (SOPA) The Standard Operating Procedures - Amplified (SOPA) (pages 17-34) further

define and amplify checklist usage. Every airline develops Standard Operating Procedures to organize the pilots

activities into a time-ordered flow of events. They provide a smooth, coordinated flight deck management system that

promotes standardization and safety. Each crewmember is assigned specific duties and the method of integrating

these duties with the other pilot is called the Standard Operating Procedures - Amplified (SOPA)

SOPA is intended to establish the sequence in which the designated steps are accomplished and to designate which crewmember normally accomplishes each step and is a procedural guide to the proper conduct of a normal flight.

Emergency, Abnormal, and Supplemental procedures are not included in SOPA and are beyond the scope of this course

SOPA explains your duties and the duties of the other pilot. Once you have completed this course, use these documents to guide your

simulated flights.

At Top of Climb:

Place the weather radar switch to OFF (if the radar is not needed for operational reasons).

If operating in RVSM airspace: • Record readings of both primary and standby

altimeters and verify that the primary agree within 200'. • Confirm the operation of autopilot and altimetry

systems at least hourly. Perform a fuel awareness check and record actual fuel

on the master flight plan.

En Route:

Monitor and/or manage systems operation at level off and periodically as necessary. When work load permits, enter cruise and/or descent wind/temperature data, if not completed during preflight.

Fuel Management Procedures:

Monitor fuel distribution/balance and fuel burn progress. At top of climb and approximately each hour: Accomplish the fuel awareness check.

Navigation Procedures:

The pilot flying will normally perform navigation duties. However, both pilots will continuously monitor navigation of the aircraft.

Communication Procedures:

Time and conditions permitting, send departure delay inputs via ACARS to: Departure Station and Flight Operations.

Fill in the T/O and LAND ID lines on the ACARS Arrival Data page.

Make En Route Position Reports. When arrival ATIS can be received, obtain the current

ATIS for the destination airport. Transmit the ACARS In-Range downlink. All non-essential PA’s (i.e. “thank you” PA’s) need to be

accomplished prior to commencing the descent.

Engine Condition Monitoring (ECM):

As soon as adequate landing information is available:

Verify that the approach, landing, and missed approach are programmed.

Verify that the displayed Approach Data Card agrees with the estimated landing weight.

Conduct an approach briefing as soon as adequate information is available

Brief the general taxi plan as part of the Approach Briefing, referring to the airport diagram and relevant NOTAMs, as necessary. Conduct the briefing as early as possible while pilot workload is at a minimum.

Brief EGPWS/radar requirements as necessary. Call for the desired level of Auto Brakes (LO or MED).

Program the approach, landing, and missed approach using the F-PLN page and the PERF APPR page.

Ensure that the ACARS MGL LANDING PERF page reflects desired runway and environmental conditions for landing.

Check the allowable landing weight using the ACARS MGL Landing Performance system (primary) or Landing Data Card.
