SAFA Ramp Inspection ProceduresGuidance materialInspectionItem Inspections Item TitleInspecting InstructionsA05 Checklists Check if checklists are available and easily accessible.Note: Most modern aircraft have some checklists held electronically, e.g. the Airbus ECAM system. This should not constitute a findingprovided that the crew can demonstrate access to such checklists and they are correctly documented in the Operations manual.Check if the OPS Manual contains the required checklists. Compare the version in OPS Manual with the ones available to the crew.Check if their content is in compliance with the operating manual covering all flight phases, in normal and emergency operations.Note: Normal, non-normal and emergency checklists are sometimes combined in a “Quick Reference Handbook”. Nevertheless,inspectors may find separate checklists for each phase of the flight, which is fully compliant.Check if the checklists are identical for all members of the flight crew.Note: If checklists with a different number of revision/different dates are present, check if the content is identical.Note: On some ex-Soviet built aircraft only the flight engineer has a checklist. The pilot and co-pilot may be working from a memorisedchecklist only.InspectionItemStd. Cat. Std. ref.
