CHECKLIST CALLOUTS

‐ “CHECK”: A command for the other pilot to check an item.

‐ “CHECKED”: A response that an item has been checked.
‐ “CROSSCHECKED”: A callout verifying information from both pilot stations.
If a checklist needs to be interrupted, announce: “HOLD CHECKLIST AT ___” and “RESUME CHECKLIST AT ___” for
the continuation.
Upon completion of a checklist announce: “__CHECKLIST COMPLETE”.

ACTIONS COMMANDED BY PF

GENERAL
The following commands do not necessarily initiate a guidance mode change, eg.: selected to managed/managed to
selected. The intent is to ensure clear, consistent, standard communication between crewmembers.
All actions performed on the FCU and MCDU must be checked on the PFD and ND (eg.: “FL 350 blue”, “FL 200
magenta").
ENSURE THAT THE CORRECT FCU KNOB IS USED, THEN VERIFY INDICATIONS ON THE PFD/ND.

SET
The “SET” command means using an FCU knob to set a value, but not to change a mode.
SET is accomplished by only rotating the appropriate selection knob.

Example:
‐ ”SET GO AROUND ALTITUDE__FT”
‐ “SET FL __”
‐ “SET HDG __”

MANAGE/PULL
The “MANAGE” command means pushing an FCU knob to engage, or arm, a managed mode or target.
The “PULL” command means pulling an FCU knob to engage a selected mode or target. Example:
‐ "PULL HDG 090” (HDG/TRK knob is pulled and turned).
‐ “MANAGE NAV” (HDG/TRK knob is pushed).
‐ “FL 190 PULL” (ALT knob is turned and pulled).
‐ “FL 190 MANAGE” (ALT knob is turned and pushed).
‐ “PULL SPEED 250 KNOTS” (SPD/MACH knob is pulled and turned).
‐ “MANAGE SPEED” (SPD/MACH knob is pushed).

Note: If the value was previously set, there is no requirement to repeat the figure.
Simply call e.g. PULL HDG: PULL SPEED: FL PULL.

The VS/FPA knob has no managed function. The standard callouts for the use of this knob are as follows:
V/S Plus (or Minus) 700 PULL, or
FPA Minus 3 ° PULL (V/S/FPA knob is turned and pulled)
PUSH TO LEVEL OFF (V/S/FPA knob is pushed)

ARM
The “ARM __” command means arming a system by pushing the specified FCU button.
e.g. : “ARM APPROACH”
e.g. : “ARM LOC

ON/OFF
The simple ON or OFF command is used for the autopilot, flight directors, autothrust and the bird (flight path vector).
e.g.: BIRD ON (The HDG-V/S / TRK-FPA pb is pushed.)
 INDIGO STANDARD CALLS – SIMULATOR ONLY

FMA

The PF should call out any FMA change, unless specified differently (e.g. CAT II & III task sharing).
Therefore, the PF should announce:
‐ All armed modes with the associated color (e.g. blue, magenta): "G/S blue", "LOC blue".
‐ All active modes without the associated color (e.g. green, white): "NAV", "ALT".
The PM should check and respond, "CHECKED" to all FMA changes called out by the PF.

PF/PM TRANSFER OF CONTROL

To transfer control, flight crewmembers must use the following callouts:

‐ To give control: The pilot calls out "YOU HAVE CONTROL". The other pilot accepts this transfer by calling out "I HAVE
CONTROL", before assuming PF duties.
‐ To take control: The pilot calls out "I HAVE CONTROL". The other pilot accepts this transfer by
out "YOU HAVE CONTROL", before assuming PM duties.

(1) If the reverse deployment is not as expected, call NO REVERSE ENGINE__or NO REVERSE, as appropriate.
(2) In case of failure or no positive deceleration, NO DECEL.
DECEL callout means that the deceleration is felt by the crew, and confirmed by the speed trend on the PFD.
(3) Full reverse may be used until coming to a complete stop. But, if there is enough runway available at the end of the
deceleration, it is preferable to reduce reverse thrust when passing 70 kt.
