    Study Notes

    Cockpit Door Procedures

    • If required, local airworthiness authorities may mandate specific actions.
    • Ensure the OPEN and FAULT lights and three LED lights on the pedestal and overhead panel are illuminated (ANN LT selector).
    • Verify all lights are off after completion.
    • Set the CKPT DOOR switch to UNLOCK position and verify the door opens, and the OPEN indicator is on.
    • Fully open the door, release the toggle switch.
    • Close the door, verify it is locked.
    • Verify the OPEN indicator is off.
    • Check the door functions properly in mechanical override mode.

    Switching Panel

    • All selectors should confirm as per the instructions.

    Engines

    • Confirm THRUST lever, THRUST REVERSER lever, ENG MASTER lever, and ENG START selector functions.

    ATC

    • ATC and TCAS are in standby mode.
    • TCAS should not be selected before the holding point/lining-up to reduce interference with radar surveillance systems.
    • ALT RPTG is the backup.
