New Checklists Webinar

New Checklists Standard
Enhancing Your Daily Cockpit Operations
This presentation was presented during the webinars on 19 DEC 2019 and 08 JAN 2020
We provide you with a pptx version so that operators can easily extract information to develop their own training material.
We presented a version covering from the A320 to the A380, but we used, as a basis, the A350/A380 electronic checklists (Black background
For A320/A330/A340 operators you will find from slide 42 the equivalent slides for the A320/A330/A340 paper checklists (White background)

Objectives:
• Listen to Operators and involve them
Airbus cooperated with • Limit head-down tasks in dynamic phases
some operators to revise • Clarify when to start a checklist, how to perform

it
the normal checklists.
• Ensure that techniques are consistent (callouts,
checks)
• Be in line with international recommendations
Collaboration • Harmonize between fleets
• Enhance efficiency

After the phase of communication

• Flight Operational Conference in Montreal in May 2018
• AIRBUS FOT 999.0070/19 “Forthcoming SOP, FCTM and Normal

Checklist changes” October 2019
• Operational Seminars in October, November and December 2019
• Update of AIRBUS FOT 999.0070/19 “Forthcoming SOP, FCTM

and checklist changes” December 2019 to invite operators to
webinars and provide material to prepare training.

Transition from current to new checklists: Airbus provides the changes one year in advance to:
• Limited training effort for pilots already trained and • AnaIyse SOP / Checklists changes
experienced on Airbus aircraft. • Submit to National Authorities ( if needed)
• Self study • Prepare training material
• Recommended Training level B • Get Flight crews ready
• Specific briefings to be prepared

I NFORMATION ABOUT THE NEW CHECKLISTS
Before Start Checklist
Two checklists, No “down to the line” or

with fewer items “below the line” concept
Enhanced C/L responses

for numerical values or
control positions
Operational Advantage
✓ Shorter C/L limits the potential

Enhanced wording of interruption
✓ Each C/L corresponds to a
dedicated phase
After Start Checklist
Moved to Taxi C/L
Sensed line
Shorter C/L

Before Takeoff Checklist
(A350 only)
Moved to Before Start

and Departure
Change C/L New line
Less head-down
time during taxi ✓ Shorter C/L limits the potential
and line-up of interruption
✓ Each C/L corresponds to a
dedicated phase
I NSIGHT I NTO T HE N EW C HECKLISTS
Departure Change Checklist
New C/L
✓ Ensure that new takeoff data are taken into

account
✓ Additional safety net to cope with late changes
✓ The DEPARTURE CHANGE checklist is designed

to protect the flight crew against erroneous
setting (FMS RWY, SID, CONF, T/O SPEEDS…)
after a change in the departure clearance
AfterTakeoff/Climb Checklist
✓ Workload reduction during

a dynamic flight phase
✓ New flow pattern to mitigate

the risk of inapropriate
configuration

Checklist Triggers
Objective: To know when to initiate each checklist.
Example:
Checklist Trigger
Cockpit Preparation After the flight crew completed the departure briefing
After Start On hand signal from the ground personnel.
Line-Up ➢ Line-up clearance received, and
➢ Line-up flow pattern completed.
Consistent use of checklists

Checks & Callouts
Objective: To know what to check and what to call out.
