Before Start
The checklist begins with the Before Start procedures, which include turning on the battery switch, arming emergency lights, and ensuring the cabin door is closed. Pilots must also check the EICAS and set the FMS before starting the engines.
Before Takeoff
Before Takeoff procedures emphasize checking the ice protection system, ensuring the rudder bias system is operational, and confirming that all seats and belts are secured. Pilots must also verify battery amps and set the TCAS to TA/RA.
After Takeoff/Climb
After takeoff, pilots are instructed to retract the landing gear and flaps, set throttles for climb, and engage the yaw damper. Continuous monitoring of pressurization and altimeters is also required.
Landing
During the landing phase, the checklist specifies checking that the landing gear is down with three green lights, setting flaps to 35, and disengaging the autopilot and yaw damper before landing.
Shutdown
The Shutdown procedures include setting the parking brake, turning off the emergency lights, and ensuring all ice protection systems are off. Pilots must also check that the throttles are idle and the engine run/stop buttons are in the stop position.
