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. Takeoff config light — Extinguished

Require the takeoff-configuration light itself to be extinguished and observable.
Expected response: ExtinguishedVerification: Use the dedicated light, with valid power/availability.

2. Cabin altitude light — Extinguished

Check the cabin-altitude warning light, not merely the numeric cabin altitude.
Expected response: ExtinguishedVerification: Require a valid, extinguished CABIN_ALT annunciator observation.

3. Light test — Hold to 1

Perform the specified cockpit light test using the proper test switch and acceptance criteria.
Expected response: Hold to 1Verification: Observe the required indications during the test and their restoration afterward.

4. Light test — Hold to 2

Perform the specified cockpit light test using the proper test switch and acceptance criteria.
Expected response: Hold to 2Verification: Observe the required indications during the test and their restoration afterward.

5. Flight instruments — Check

Cross-check the applicable flight instruments for this phase using valid readings and mission data.
Expected response: CheckVerification: Use defined cross-check criteria and independent sources where the checklist calls for comparison.

6. Ground proximity panel — Check

Check the required GPWS panel state under an approved preflight inspection/test sequence. Do not inhibit warnings merely to clear a check.
Expected response: CheckVerification: Require the correct inhibit/guard states and test results.

7. Landing gear panel — Set

Inspect the prescribed gear-panel configuration in the verified ground state; do not cycle the gear as an invented test.
Expected response: SetVerification: Use the gear-safe/transit indications plus actual required lever/panel state.

8. Auto brake select — Rto

Select autobrake RTO. Verify the selector and required indications.
Expected response: RTOVerification: Read RTO selector state and the required disarm indication.

9. ANTISKID INOP — Extinguished

Check the specific antiskid-inoperative annunciator is extinguished.
Expected response: ExtinguishedVerification: Use the dedicated antiskid indication with valid power.

Continue to First officer preflight — part 5. The checklist adds no condition between these parts; the next part’s individual step conditions still apply.
