CLIMB CHECKLIST

The Climb Checklist is designed to check and set systems after takeoff, when safely established in a

climb. P should normally call for the appropriate Climb Checklist anytime after passing 1,000 feet

AGL when cockpit duties permit. P calls "Abbreviated Climb Checklist" if remaining in the local

area. If P calls "Abbreviated Climb Checklist," CP completes items 1 through 4. If P calls "Climb

Checklist," CP completes the entire checklist. Neither checklist is required if entering directly into

the home field bounce pattern or proceeding directly to and from Cabaniss.

GEAR

P ensures gear handle up, light in gear handle out, and three green lights out.

FLAPS

"UP" (P)

P ensures flap handle UP and flap indicator pointing UP. A visual check of flap position is not

required unless experiencing a malfunction.

INSTRUMENTS/NACELLES

"CHECKED" (P, CP)

P checks engine and flight instruments, total and nacelle fuel quantities (return quantity switch to

TOTAL), and left wing and nacelle for fluid leaks, loose panels, and other discrepancies. CP also

checks engine and flight instruments, and the right wing and nacelle.

NOTE: Utilize ice lights for wing and nacelle checks at night.

LIGHTS

"SET" (P)
