1. Introduction
Boeing has recently introduced the latest version of the
Quick Reference Handbook (QRH). This version is the
latest in a series of revisions to the QRH format and is
the result of extensive research and feedback from our
customers. The goals of these revisions are to:
improve crew performance
reduce opportunities for crew error
improve crew coordination
reduce crew workload and stress.
The QRH meets these goals by:
improving indexes to make checklists easier to locate
providing information to help crews verify they havelocated the correct checklist
making different types of information visually distinct
making decision choices easier to identify and navigate
making it easier for crews to keep place in the checklist
improving navigation within checklists and the QRH
identifying consequences of inoperative items caused bya non-normal situation
identifying changes to normal checklists caused by anon-normal situation
identifying potential consequences of critical steps beforeaction is taken
confirming critical action steps.
For those who have used the previous Boeing QRH, most
of the technical information in the non-normal checklistshas not changed. For most non-normal checklists, you willperform the same steps as in the previous QRH. The goalof this revision is to present those steps and anysupporting information in a clear, easy-to-read format.Technical changes to the QRH are identified by a revisionbar in the margin.

Indexes. There are four (4) indexes available to use when searching for a checklist in the QRH. All indexes are located at the
front of the QRH. Having all indexes in one location eliminates the need to search the QRH to find an index. Having all indexesat the front of the QRH also makes them more visible to you and reminds you of all the indexes available. When the PF calls forthe checklist, the PM can use these indexes to search for the checklist.
The four (4) indexes are: Quick Action Index (QAI), Lights index, Unannunciated index andAlphabet ical index.
The Quick Action Index is located on the front cover of the QRH (see below). The other three (3) indexes are located after theQAI and are clearly marked with individual tabs. The details of these indexes are presented on the next page.
In all indexes, checklists that correspond to a light, an alert,
or other indication will appear in UPPER CASE. Checklists that
do
not correspond to a light, alert or other indication appear in Upper and Lower Case.
Quick Act ion Index (QAI)
The QAI is one of the methods the PM can use to find
a checklist called for by the PF.
The QAI lists the titles of all checklists that havememory items and checklists that the crew needs tocomplete in a timely manner.
Checklists are listed alphabetically.
Some QAI titles are shown in a larger font size tomake them easier to read under conditions where youmay be wearing an oxygen mask or smoke goggles orunder conditions of reduced visibility.
QAI checklists are also listed in all applicable indexes(Lights, Unannunciated, Alphabetical) and systemsection Tables of Contents.

Indexes. There are three (3) indexes located after the Quick Action Index: Lights, Unannunciated andAlphabetical. Eachindex has its own tab to make it easier to access (see tabs illustrated on previous page). The contents of these three indexesare described below. Checklists on the QAI are duplicated in these indexes in bold to make them easier to locate.
Lights index provides an alphabetical listing of all lights, alertsor other indications. This allows you to match the checklistdirectly to the light.
Unannunciated Checklists index lists all checklists notannunciated by a light, alert or other indication. Checklists arelisted alphabetically.
QAI checklists are highlighted in
bold.
Alphabetical index
combines the QAI, Lights, and
Unannunciated indexes to list all checklists in the QRH inalphabetical order. This may be helpful to you when you areuncertain whether a checklist is Quick Action, has anassociated Light or is Unannunciated, or when you know thechecklist title you need.

Do the Checklist (1 of 4)
Checklist steps. After the PF has called for the checklist, the PM has located the checklist, and verified it is appropriate for
the non-normal situation, the PM reads aloud the checklist steps. This includes memory items and reference items. Thereare a number of features that support you as you do the checklist.
Memory steps. Memory steps are critical steps that areexpected to be done prior to opening the QRH. Once thechecklist is called for by the PF, the PM reads the memory
steps aloud to verify each memory step was done. The PFonly needs to respond to items that are not in agreementwith the checklist.
Memory steps must be reviewed before doing the referencesteps. You should not assume all memory steps have beencompleted or were performed correctly without verifying thesteps by reading the checklist.
Memory steps are distinguished from reference stepsby a dashed line. Items above the dashed line arememory steps. Items below the dashed line are referencesteps.
Step numbers. All first level checklist steps are at the leftmargin of the page and are numbered. Step numbers allow
you to:
-
follow the hierarchy of steps, particularly when continuinga checklist across more than one page
-
keep place when reading the checklist
-
jump to a specific step when directed by the checklist
This makes navigation within the checklist clear and easy.Step numbers are not required to be read aloud.

Redirection. A double-arrow symbol () followed by thewords Go to
indicates that you are being redirected to a
different step within the current checklist orto a different checklistin the QRH. If you are redirected to another step within the samechecklist, the step number is provided. If you are redirected to
a
different checklist, the title and page number of the new checklistare provided.
If statements. Some steps require you to make a decision about a
single condition. You must use your judgment to decide if thatcondition applies or does not apply. If
the condition applies, take the
action described. If the condition does not apply, do not take theaction described. These conditional statements are highlighted by theword If in bold.
Confirm. The word Confirm
is added to checklist items when both
crewmembers must verbally agree before action is taken.
The PMreads the challenge, the word Confirm
and the response. The PF
must verbally confirm the checklist item. This assures that both
crewmembers are aware of the action before it is taken. This helps
prevent incorrect actions and supports the situation awareness of
both crewmembers. Action is taken by the PF or PM based on
each crewmembers area of responsibility. After moving
the control, the crewmember taking the action also states the
checklist response.
Precaution symbol. A shaded triangle containing an exclamationpoint ( ! ) alerts you to important information you must considerbefore taking an action. This triangle appears between the stepnumber and the challenge. The information you must consider iscontained in a shaded box attached to the shaded triangle. The PMreads this information aloud before reading the challenge andresponse.

item from the others and makes clear the consequences thatbelong to each item.
Timing words. Some steps must be performed in accordance withspecified time requirements. These time requirements are
highlighted in bold.
Do not accomplish. Some steps identify checklists a crew shouldnot accomplish. Any direction to not accomplish an action ishighlighted in bold. This alerts you to the difference and reinforcesthat the following action should not be performed.

Do the Deferred Items (1 of 2)
The Deferred Items section identifies steps to be done later in the flight and includes the Descent, Approach and Landing
normal checklists. When included, these deferred Descent, Approach, and Landing checklists replace the normal checklists.Deferred Items may also include any additional items, procedures
or information needed to configure the airplane for landing
as a result of the non-normal situation.
Normal checklist titles. The titles of normal checklists included inthe Deferred Items section appear in bold to clearly identify whereeach checklist begins. Normal checklists are included in theDeferred Items section when:
any response in the Descent, Approach or Landing checklist
has changed due to the non-normal situation; OR
when any deferred items occur after the Descent Checklist. Thiseliminates the need to switch between Normal and Non-NormalChecklists.
The PM states the title of the normal checklist (for example, Landing
Checklist) before reading the checklist steps.
