10.62.2 The rationale behind consistent and thorough checklist use as opposed to reliance on memory
Checklists are used by pilots to ensure critical actions are completed at appropriate times.
•With the purpose of checking procedures have been carried out, it’s important to not recite a checklist from memory but to read off it instead
10.62.4 Distinguish between normal and emergency checklists
Normal checklists are used for all flight phases, including pre-flight and post-flight, but particularly prior to the critical phases
•A non normal checklist is used to guide the pilots through the correct sequence of actions for emergency situations and/or malfunctions of the aircraft systems
34.62.6 The elements of an effective checklist
abbreviated form, all the information required by the trained flight crew to operate the airplane in most normal and non-normal situations.
- Normal checklists should be organized by segments of flight. The checklist should contain the minimum 22 cues required for the trained crew-member to verify that the appropriate actions have been completed.
- Only procedural steps which, if omitted have direct and adverse impact on normal operations, are included. Items annunciated by crew alerting systems are not included.
10.62.6 The phases of flight where a checklist plays an important role
Prior to the critical phases:
•Takeoff
•Approach
•Landing
10.62.8 The reasons for checklist complacency
Checklists should be completed at the appropriate time and read and actioned carefully
- Most errors result from trying to complete checklists too rapidly, or without giving full attention to the task
- Avoid routine, rote responses and ensure that the item called for has been checked carefully before responding
10.62.10 The possible ramifications of checklist complacency
Damage
34.62.14 /46.62.2 The importance of colour, font and type size for written checklists
Legibility is essential, to achieve this a clear back, bold type face on a white or lemon background should be used with lower case or initial capital lettering.
- Font size should be large enough to read in a dimly lit cockpit under conditions of environmental and psychological stress
- Confusing abbreviations should be avoided.
34.62.16/46.62.4 The problems associated with the design and use of checklists and manuals
A common problem with the use of paper checklists is when an interruption disrupts the checklist flow as items may be overlooked when returning to the list.
•Checklists – especially challenge and response should not be committed to memory as this can lead to complacency
34.62.18/46.62.6 Problems associated with the design and use of maps and charts
Different manufactures use different symbols and on one operation 2 different types of information could be used – i.e. paper chart and NAV display on a jet with differing information.
34.64.2 Basic Principles of First Aid
Is the initial treatment given to a person suffering a medical condition before professional assistance has arrived.
- Protect yourself
- Preserve life
- Prevent deterioration
- Promote recovery
34.64.2 Basic Principles of First Aid, what does DRSABCD stand for
Dangers Response Send for help Airways Breathing Circulation Defibrillation.
34.64.4 Describe the basic principles of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
Is an emergency procedure for a person whose heart has stopped or is no longer breathing
- This is performed by chest compressions and rescue breaths
- CPR can maintain circulation and breathing until emergency medical help arrives.

10.66.4 Explain the steps in post-crash survivor management
The first priority is to evacuate the aircraft in case of fire.
