Use this procedure when its prerequisites apply. Confirm each required aircraft state before acknowledging the corresponding checklist item.

General

Complete the preliminary, CDU, captain and first-officer procedures in the applicable ground configuration. Retain the side-specific requirements. A captain instrument or control does not satisfy an independent first-officer or standby check. Use the assigned detailed panel procedures for Set, Check, Test and Pass requirements. Observe the specified result and restore the required operating configuration after each actual cockpit test. Do not operate a system merely because its control appears in the reference list. Complete loading, performance preparation and the required equipment checks before progressing to the dependent departure procedures. Where an item requires an external inspection or crew adjustment, retain the assigned verification or explicit scenario exclusion.

1. Cabin pressurization panel — Set

Resolve the required pressurization settings and landing elevation from mission data; distinguish FLT ALT from LAND ALT.
Expected response: SetVerification: Verify the selected cruise/landing targets and pressurization configuration.

2. Lighting panel — Set

Apply the approved lighting-panel setup without inventing which lights Set includes.
Expected response: SetVerification: Verify the requested lights, using the configured landing-light variant.

Expected response: OFFVerification: Require both applicable rotary-switch states.

5. Mode control panel — Set

Set the assigned Mode Control Panel targets and switch selections. Verify each selected target and mode separately.
Expected response: SetVerification: Read back each required target and switch separately.

6. EFIS control panel — Set

Set only the EFIS selections specified by the assigned mission and configuration; confirm the actual display mode and units.
Expected response: SetVerification: Check the selected EFIS state and required displayed navigation information.

7. Oxygen — Test and set

Carry out the approved mask test and setup for the side named by the section.
Expected response: Test and setVerification: Require the test result and the prescribed final configuration.

8. Clock — Set

Resolve the required clock mode/time from the mission profile and observe the result.
Expected response: SetVerification: Read the relevant clock display after any command.

9. Display select panel — Set

Apply the specified display-selection subprocedure and confirm the resulting display layout.
Expected response: SetVerification: Observe selector positions and the target displays.

Continue after this procedure

Continue to First officer preflight — part 4. The checklist adds no condition between these parts; the next part’s individual step conditions still apply.
