Abstract:A survey of aircraft checklists and flight manuals was conducted to identify
impediments to their use and to determine if standards or guidelines for. their
design were needed. Information for this purpose was collected through the review
of checklists and manuals from six Part 121 and nine Part 135 carriers, review of
NTSB and ASRS reports, analysis of an ALPA survey of air carrier pilots, and by
direct observation in air carrier cockpits.
f
The survey revealed that some checklists and manuals were difficult to locate and
were poorly designed for use in the cockpit environment, the use of checklists by
flight crews was not always well defined, the use of checklists interfered with
other flight operations, and flight operations often made it difficult to use
checklists effectively.
The report contains recommendations for the formatting and content of checklists and
manuals, their use by flightcrews, and areas of research relevant to checklist
design.
