022.13.04.01.09: Describe an appropriate procedure for following an on-screen checklist associated with a failure scenario including the following:

  • confirm the failure with the other flight crew member prior to performing any of the actions;
  • seek confirmation prior to manipulating any guarded switches or thrust levers;
  • follow the checklist slowly and methodically;
  • assess the possible implications of making certain selections, such as opening the fuel cross-feed if there is a fuel leak even though the electronic checklist may ask for the action.

For many malfunctions, an on-screen checklist will be displayed providing the pilots with recommended actions to cope with the associated loss of function. This option reduces workload and consequently stress in abnormal situations by displaying the applicable checklists to the pilots, while at the same time monitoring the correct execution of the procedures. However, such actions should be executed with thought. Pilots are required to always maintain awareness of the consequences of the actions commanded by an automated checklist.

The avoid drawbacks while following on-screen checklists, the pilots should confirm the failure with the other flight crew member prior to performing any of the actions.

After the malfunction is confirmed, the on-screen checklist should be followed slowly and methodically.

Special caution should be taken and explicit confirmation from the other crew member should always be sought when performing highly critical steps such as operating the thrust levers or any guarded switches.

Consider the implications of making certain selections, such as opening the fuel cross-feed if there is a fuel leak even though the electronic checklist may ask for the action.
