When can you do the pushback checklist?
As soon as the flight attendants say, the cabin is ready and nose wheel steering is bypassed, and all the doors are closed. Do not need to hear from ground crew that they are ready for push! 
Ref. A330, Vol 1, 3.4.7
When approach procedure is known flow:
F-pln: insert app
Rad-nav: rnav fdp ring, e/o proc
Perf: desc- modify speed as nec
Appr- wx data
Sec fltpln- alt appr and wx data
Efis panel set
App plate correct
T: When all exterior doors are closed and the cabin is ready for pushback:
CA: verify doors clsd and armed. NWS disc.
FO: APU bleed, flight deck door, transponder: auto
T: When ground crew calls “Ready for Push”?
CA: reply “ Standby”. Direct FO to call for push/ engine start.
FO: as directed
T: After passing 10,000?
CA: double ding. Note on PA may not be heard. Technique to monitor with PA button.
TCI here not TOC or 18,000.
T: TOC?
SEC Flt Pln- copy active. (Also if RADNAV used on dept, clear the fixed NAV aid so fms can auto update. Technique).
Technique: Think 1) Oceanic clearance? 2) CPDLC login? 3) POS reports 4) best altitude for ride and fuel
