0.1 EXPANDED NORMAL CHECKLIST
0.2 GENERAL
The expanded normal checklist contains a detailed explanation of the action to be
performed for every item of the normal checklist. The normal checklist used on the
virtual airplane contains check items and responses only. By given the response
shown on the checklist, the flight crew given the response confirms that the action
and/or checks prescribed by the expanded checklist have been performed.
0.3 HANDLING OF CHECKLIST
This checklist is created for flight simulation purpose only! Do not use the “Austrian
virtual Dash 8-402 Normal Checklist” for real world aircraft! The normal checklist for
Austrian virtual is based on Tyrolean Airways real checklist. Unneeded items for flight
simulation are deleted in this checklist. Also unneeded checks (e.g. preflight checks,
walk around,…) are deleted. The checklist will be preceded by a “flow” during which
system will be set as required for the stage of flight. If the flow performed, a detailed
brake-down of items to be performed by the crew members is given in the respective
subsection depending on flight phase. After completion of the flow, read the checklist
step by step (move your finger from item to item) and confirm the required settings as
described. If you read…….IF REQUIRED, the actual status shall be called out.
If an item cannot be carried out at this time, stop the flow, and continue short after the
item are performed. By extended interruption or system malfunctions, start the
checklist from the first item of the required chapter. Every checklist should be end with
the wording “……. checklist completed”.
Perform also “sterile flight deck” procedure, during taxiing, and any flight phase below
10.000 ft. Not necessary paperwork or private communication should be done. Watch
the surrounding traffic and ground movements, and listen the ATC frequencies
carefully.
