Fumbling for the QRH in an emergency.
A recent Boeing major policy (B737) change regarding the Passenger Evacuation Drill, has deleted the Recall Items and substituted an ordinary read and do checklist instead which requires reference to the QRH, rather than a memory drill.
While the reason for this rather debatable change is not published, it does raise the problem of the inevitable delay in fumbling for the QRH while the boy stood on the burning deck, so to speak.
One operator that I flew for many years ago, had the rather novel idea (I thought) of attaching the Passenger Evacuation checklist on the side of each pilot's flight deck sidewall within immediate easy eye view. If one pilot was incapacitated, the other could read off the checklist on his own side. Surely this is better than fumbling for a QRH and searching for the right page while events may be takiing a turn for the worse outside
Has anyone ever seen this type of checklist display?
