Some of us here are getting confused with the challenge and response type of checklist as used in a multi-crew environment and a checklist used for single pilot ops.
Yes but both should be used as a “checklist”, not a “To Do List. In multi crew and single pilot ops, all items should be done from memory, whether this is by flow pattern or mnemonics doesn’t matter. What ever works best for you. Once they are done and at the correct time a checklist should be called. In a multi crew environment, the PNF will read and the PF will respond. In single pilot ops the pilot will read and respond. When I flew single pilot ops a number of years ago, we use to have flip-flop checklist mounted on top of the panel. They worked very well in that I could keep my eyes outside when it was extremely important to do so and complete the checklist.
