Minimum Required NORMAL PROCEDURES expanded checklist NOTE ON CHECKLISTS A normal checklist is provided for use in flight. This checklist covers items that are of vital importance to the safety of the flight. When completing a checklist it is assumed the pilot is familiar with the full operating procedures in the sections following the normal checklist and outlined in the aircraft POH section 4. The checklist is completed after normal flows as a cross check to ensure critical items are set correctly. Expanded procedures for normal, non- normal, and emergency operations are provided on the reverse side. These should be used for training aids during type ratings and for personal reference. As model differences frequently occur, the manufactures handbook for the aircraft you are flying should be referenced to prior to operation. HAPPY FLYING!
