NORMAL CHECK LISTS

Pilot's and Engineers' Pre flight checks are produced in amplified form only and
should be performed by a standardised "scan" of the cockpit panels and equijsnent.
This enables flight crew to use the actual equipment, instruments, selectors and
switches as a physical check list, thus ensuring all necessary actions have been
taken. The pre flight safety checks which are not in a logic scan pattern are
produced as a unilateral (silent) check list, and this check must be carried out
using the check-list as a reference.

The Co-pilot will read "Before Starting Check List" all other check lists will be
read by the Engineer Officer. These check lists are normal challenge and response
type.

The Check Lists use abbreviations to indicate the crew member who is required to
carry out the appropriate sections.

C Pilot in charge. A Flight Attendants

P Co-Pilot G Ground (Ramp)
E Engineer Officer ALL C.P.E.

TRANSIT CHECKS

At Transit stations the full Pilots and Engineer Officers pre-flight "scan" check
must be carried out. At transit stops or short turn-arounds a full scan preflight
check must always be carried out but there is obviously no need to test those pieces
of equipment known to be serviceable on arrival. ^CD

Ensure Autopilot is placarded TRIPLE or DUAL.
Confirm crew CAT 3 qualified & Autoland Check

In CAT 3 conditions request a CAT 3 approach from ATC.
If any RUNWAY lighting deficiency reported, use
CAT3 DH and RVR 600m.
Discuss minima and reversionary minima:—

Below Alert Ht., continue

to TRIPLE CAT 3

• Go-around is mandatory if RVR falls below minima

after DH + 1000 ft. However, if already below DH
and visual you may continue the approach.
• Loss of Electrical Busses (1) or (2) or (3 -i- 4) requires
a Go-around.
• Familiarise yourselves with actions required following
autoland warning on the approach.
• Co-pilot must stay on instruments throughout and
call "Alert","100 Above","Decide".
For auto-go-around call "Go-around Green".
• Engineer to monitor N1 gauges and warning lights.
Keep Checklist open at Autoland Aide Memoire and
provide guidance.
• After nosewheel is on the ground, check A/P & A/T
disengaged.
• Familiarise yourselves with CAT 2/3 turnoffs. Do
not call clear of R/W until past CAT 2/3 protected
area.

• If, after a Go-around, no further CAT 3 approaches

are to be attempted, RESTORE ELECTRICS TO
NORMAL on completion of After Take-Off Checklist.
CATEGORY 2 BRIEFING

• Briefing is the same as CAT 3 Except:—

DH/RVR is as published on AOM page
T/D MID END
as pub 150* adv

• If ANY lighting or RVR measurement deficiency

reported, use CAT 2 DH and RVR 600m.
• Do not split the ELECTRICAL Busses.
(* NOTE: Midpoint RVR, when reported, must
not be below minimum.
See Perf. Man. for RVR in USA and
Canada).
