Rationale: Not enough specific. Items to check should appear in dedicated lines.
COCKPIT PREPARATION
COCKPIT PREP................ COMPLETED (BOTH)
GEAR PINS & COVERS……....REMOVED
Response Wording update: REMOVED instead of REMOVE.
Rationale: When the checklist is being executed, the action is already performed. The response should correspond as
much as possible to the aural form pronounced in the cockpit.
FUEL QUANTITY………...….…___KG/LBS
1) Challenge format updated: QUANTITY instead of QTY.
Rationale: Checklist wording should correspond, as far as possible, to the aural form pronounced in the cockpit.
2) Response updated : "/" instead of ".".
Rationale: "/" is the convention for "OR".
GEAR PINS and COVERS.................REMOVED
Line deleted.
Rationale: Not enough specific. Items to check should appear in dedicated lines.
Check of the takeoff data is too early at that stage.
"Down to the line / Below the line" deleted.
Rationale: The checklists should be "clustered" to avoid dependencies between
checklists. Each checklists should have dedicated trigger and should be completed
when all the lines are checked.

Rationale: Only the SEAT BELTS item is considered as critical. Other signs has no critical impact if forgotten by the
flight crew.
Response updated: "SET" removed.
Rationale: The check technique and the expected answer are provided in the FCTM.
Response updated to "_____".
Rationale: "AS RQRD" is considered as not enough specific. The new format of the answer will engage the PF in a
more efficient check of the actual status of the PARKING BRAKE.
1) Line moved from the BEFORE TAKEOFF checklists to BEFORE START checklist
Rationale: Reduce the workload in dynamic phases. The T.O SPEEDS and the THR RATING checks are possible at
this stage, no need to postpone these checks.
2) Challenge updated: T.O SPEEDS & THRUST instead of V1 / VR / V2 / FLX TEMP
Rationale: Checklist wording should correspond, as far as possible, to the aural form pronounced in the cockpit.
Challenge updated: DOORS check removed.
Rationale: External mitigations available. Gate/Stairs not removed until the DOORS are closed + ECAM warning if
DOORS are not locked and start up is initiated(TBC by STLL refer to FWC logics).
WINDOWS check is kept as there is no ECAM alert for a window not closed.

CHECKLIST COMPARISON - AFTER TAKEOFF
Current A320/A330/A340 normal checklist
Checklist removed based on:
- Implementation of a new SOP "ACCELERATION flow pattern" that is performed
sooner (at flaps 0) than actual AFTER TAKEOFF / CLIMB checklist. Moreover in
case of failure after takeoff, the FCTM (Airbus Operational Philosophy) recommends
to consider again the "ACCELERATION flow pattern" when reaching the STATUS
page
- Feedback from Operators that already removed the AFTER TAKEOFF / CLIMB
checklist
- Other aircraft system mitigation means listed below.
A320/A330/A340 Normal Checklist after November 2020
AFTER TAKEOFF / CLIMB
Line removed: Mitigation by the ACCELERATION flow pattern.
Rationale: the omission of landing gear retraction will be detected during the
ACCELERATION flow pattern. it could be also detected:
- By OVERSPEED audio alert in case VLE is exceeded
- During periodic fuel check.
LDG GEAR................................................... UP
Line removed.
Rationale: Mitigation by the ACCELERATION flow pattern and VFE PFD indicattion

New checklist title.
Rationale: Removal of the line in the BEFORE START checklist requires new checklist title.
Response Wording update: REMOVED instead of REMOVE.
Rationale: When the checklist is being executed, the action is already performed. The response should correspond as
much as possible to the aural form pronounced in the cockpit.
1) Challenge format updated: QUANTITY instead of QTY.
Rationale: Checklist wording should correspond, as far as possible, to the aural form pronounced in the cockpit.
2) Response updated : "/" instead of ".".
Rationale: "/" is the convention for "OR".
Challenge updated to check only the SEAT BELTS.
Rationale: Only the SEAT BELTS item is considered as critical. Other signs has no critical impact if forgotten by the
flight crew.
Benefit of New Checklists
Shorter checklist limits the potential of
interuption of the checklist
Stick to the real flight phases (Less ambiguity
wether that checklist is started or completed)
Response updated: "SET" removed.
Rationale: The check technique and the expected answer are provided in the FCTM.

Rationale: The technique to check the BARO REF and the expected response are provided in the FCTM.
SEAT BELTS..……..…..…………...ON
Response wording updated: "SET" Removed.
Rationale: the technique to check the MINIMUM and the expected response are provided in the FCTM.
Line moved from LANDING checklist.
Rationale: the AUTO BRAKE can be checked earlier. The line is moved to reduce the crew workload in the LANDING
dynamic phase.
Response updated: "_____" instead of AS RQRD.
Rationale: AS RQRD not enough specific and the new format of the response will engage the PF in a more efficient
check of the actual status of the ENG MODE SEL.

Trigger:
Seat Belts OFF
PARKING
APU BLEED................................................. ON
PARKING BRAKE OR CHOCKS…..SET
1) Challenge wording updated: PARKING BRAKE OR CHOCKS instead of PARK BRK and CHOCKS.
Rationale: the challenge wording should correspond as much as possible to the aural form pronounced in the cockpit.
2) Response wording updated: SET instead of AS RQRD.
Rationale: "AS RQRD" is not enough specific. at this stage, either the Parking Brake or the Chocks should be SET.
note: "SET" is used to be in line with the recommendations of the ICAO on the board/ground communications.
ENGINES....................................................OFF
ENGINES….………….……...…….OFF
Challenge wording updated: ENGINES instead of ALL ENGs.
Rationale: The challenge wording should correspond as much as possible to the aural form pronounced in the cockpit.

Challenge content updated: WING LIGHTS instead of EXT LT.
Rationale: The only risk identified is related to the Wing Lights. If the Wing Lights remain ON and are covered by the
gate bridge, overheat and/or fire may occur.

Checklist deleted.
Reduce the workload during a dynamic flight phase.
Rationale: The AFTER TAKEOFF flow is considered as being better mitigation for the omission of L/G and/or FLAPS
retraction in this phase. Refer to the colum A for aircraft system mitigation means.
FLAPS............................................RETRACTED
ENG MODE SEL...................................AS RQRD
Line deleted when CABIN READY option is installed.
Rationale: "CABIN:READY" in the LDG memo is a good mitigation.
Line deleted.
Rationale: A/THR management is not specific to LANDING phase. The crew should
be aware of the THR mode at any time.

1) Line moved from BEFORE TAKEOFF below the line.
Rationale: The Eng MODE SEL can be checked earlier. Line moved to Reduce crew workload in the line-up dynamic
phase.
2) Response updated: "_____" instead of "AS RQRD".
Rationale: "AS RQRD" not enough specific. The new format of the response will engage the PF in a more efficient
check of the actual status of the ENG MODE SEL.

"Down to the line" "Below the line" deleted.
Rationale: The checklists should be "clustered" to avoid dependencies between
checklists. Each checklists should have dedicated trigger and should be completed
when all the lines are checked.
RADAR & PRED W/S…..……ON & AUTO
Line added.
Rationale: mitigate the risk of takeoff with RADAR & PRED W/S OFF (no other mitigation available).
New Checklist.
Ensure that new takeoff data are taken into account.
The DEPARTURE CHANGE checklist is designed to protect the flight crew against erroneous setting (RWY, SID,
CONF, Takeoff speeds and thrust, FCU altitude…) after a change in the departure clearance.
As the checklist is not systematically performed, it is identified with a specific symbology << DEPARTURE CHANGE
>>.
