737 New Normal Procedures
July 15th, 2006 | by Dusk |
Why do we need a normal procedure? Cant the pilot just get in the plane and fly off? Why waste 20 mins with the entire checklist? What are the pilots doing in the flight deck?
Anyway, the B737 New Normal Procedures verify for each phase of flight that the airplane condition is satisfactory the flight deck configuration is correct. Below is a video by Boeing showing how the New Normal Procedure is done.
Below is a simplified version of the Boeing 737 Normal Procedure (b737-400).

This is the checklist for a RHS based on area of responsibility. For more information see http://www.flydamnit.com/2006/07/02/duties-of-a-captain-and-first-officer/. Take note that the Captain has the control up to before takeoff and then he hands over control to the First Officer until the landing then takes back control.
