Here's hoping your QRH stays closed! 🤞✈️

Step 1: Acknowledge & Verify

Always apply correction factors (anti-ice, bleed config).

1. Familiarization: Pilots should thoroughly familiarize themselves with the QRH contents, layout, and organization to ensure easy access to critical information during emergency situations.
2. Situational Awareness: Pilots must maintain situational awareness and be able to quickly identify the nature of the emergency or abnormal condition.
3. Procedure Execution: Pilots should execute procedures in accordance with the QRH, using the checklists and performance data as necessary.

Non-Normal Checklists: The bulk of the book is divided by aircraft system (e.g., fuel, hydraulics, electrics), using large fonts and visual aids like flowcharts and decision trees to reduce pilot cognitive load. boeing 737800 qrh quick reference handbook

Myth: You use the QRH for normal checklists (Startup, Taxi).
Fact: Normal checklists are in the FCOM or a separate Normal Procedures Checklist. The QRH is for non-normal (abnormal/emergency) events only.

In an emergency, the QRH is used after performing "Memory Items"—critical steps pilots must execute immediately without consulting a book. Once the aircraft is stabilized, the Pilot Monitoring reads the QRH aloud while the Pilot Flying monitors for accuracy. This coordination is essential for verifying that the correct checklist is selected and that all consequences of inoperative items are understood.

3. Review "Seen" Items: The QRH has many checklists we rarely see in the sim (like the Airspeed Unreliable or the Altimetry system faults). Read through these on your commute or downtime so they don't look alien if you ever need them.
