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

General

Begin shutdown in the assigned parked condition. Set the parking brake and establish the required electrical supply before moving engine start levers to CUTOFF. The checklist requires fuel pump switches OFF without a listed APU exception. Engine bleed ON is a switch-selection requirement, not an indication that a stopped engine supplies air. Account for the assigned APU and electrical/air configuration. With Airside Services active, anti-collision OFF can initiate deboarding and cargo unloading.

Secure

Select the secure procedure when required after shutdown. Its four checks are IRS OFF, emergency-exit lights OFF, window heat OFF and packs OFF. A battery-OFF or mandatory APU-OFF step is not included. Record the actual end condition; secure-checklist completion alone does not establish cold-and-dark.

1. Parking brake — Set

Set the parking brake using the configured brake procedure. Verify the brake is set.
Expected response: SetVerification: Observe the requested brake state, and for ground-handler control obtain the actual handler instruction.

2. Electrical power — Set

Use an approved electrical-panel subprocedure, confirming the intended source and bus configuration.
Expected response: SetVerification: Require the applicable switch, source and on-bus indications.

3. Engine start levers — Cutoff

Set both engine start levers to CUTOFF. The start levers control fuel admission; they are separate from the rotary engine start switches.
Expected response: CUTOFFVerification: Read back the lever positions and the phase-appropriate engine outcome.

4. Fasten belts — Off

Set the fasten-belts sign to OFF at the supplied shutdown step and confirm the sign/switch state.
Expected response: OFFVerification: Require a valid OFF state.

5. Anti-collision light — Off

Set the beacon/anti-collision light OFF at this shutdown step and verify the result.
Expected response: OFFVerification: Confirm OFF and preserve the shutdown context.

6. Fuel pump switches — Off

Establish the supplied shutdown response OFF for the fuel-pump switches, reading each current state before any toggle.
Expected response: OFFVerification: Confirm the required OFF position for each applicable pump using validated state decoding.

7. CAB/UTIL — As needed

Resolve and apply the required cabin/utility power selection.
Expected response: As neededVerification: Observe the actual CAB/UTIL switch state.

8. IFE/PASS SEAT — As needed

Resolve and apply the required in-flight-entertainment/passenger-seat power selection.
Expected response: As neededVerification: Observe the actual IFE/PASS SEAT switch state.

9. Wing anti-ice — Off

For an explicit OFF, establish OFF. For As needed, first resolve the mission’s icing decision using an approved policy; do not infer it from temperature alone.
Expected response: OFFVerification: Verify the selected switch state and the relevant valve/annunciator outcome under a the applicable decoder.

Continue after this procedure

Continue to Shutdown — part 2. The checklist adds no condition between these parts; the next part’s individual step conditions still apply.
