Q

Electrical Power Up
(Not memorized, read and do)

A

Do if you get to a dark airplane with one blue light (Ground Power Available) or, if no ground power and you’ll need the APU for electrical.

Can hit lights switch on forward FA panel to turn some lights on so it’s not completely dark.

If RED A/C out-of-service tag is on thrust levers, don’t touch anything and go sit down in first class

Don’t establish hydraulic power if flaps will move unless you cleared the outside area

Not memorized, read and do.

Q

Preflight Interior Inspection - FO

Detailed

A

Assumes that the electrical power up has already been done or airplane is on ground power.

Doesn’t technically need to be in order if you get it all done.

  1. FDAS - OFF
    Guard up, switch up
  2. Fight deck security search - Complete
  3. Logbook - Check
    Logbook matches ship # and nothing wild in there
    Check for PDC on ETOPS flight
  4. Potable water and waste tank - Check
    On the aft flight attendant panel in back of plane so run back there before passengers start boarding so you don’t get stuck. This is NOT in the FA’s scan so they don’t even know what the gauge means. On your way, check wings for contaminants/de-ice possibility
    Waste can show 1/8 full and be ok
  5. Quantities - Check
    1000PSI, no RF and 12 qty oil each
  6. Required Docs - Check
    Aircraft Logbook
    Normal Checklists x2
    QRH x2
    Engine Performane Logbook (in EFB)
    Registration Certificate (wall behind FO)
    Airworthiness Certificate (wall behind FO)
  7. EFB Mounts - Check
  8. CBs - Check
  9. Pilot Safety Vests - Check
  10. Flight deck emergency equipment - Check
    Reference placard on wall
  11. Jumpseat - Secure
  12. Sunshields - Check
  13. Crew Luggage - Secure
  14. Printer Paper - Check
  15. Manual gear extension door - Closed

Go do the exterior preflight
