Changes to new 737 NC & QRH
As predicted Boeing are about to tweak the new 737 normal checklist and QRH
In the PREFLIGHT checklist after “Window heat” will be an extra check of:
“Pressurization mode selector. . . . . . . . . . . . . AUTO”
And in the QRH, the CONFIGURATION WARNING checklist will be renamed “WARNING HORN - CABIN ALTITUDE OR CONFIGURATION” and will be a recall checklist to either: sort the config out if on the ground or get onto oxygen if in-flight.
These changes show us that the FAA’s wish to reduce (eliminate?) recall checklists is neither possible or desirable. Also, I would bet that there will be more changes within the year, I can certainly think of a few things in the new checklist that need changing!
BTW am I the only one that thinks it would be better to have a different aural warning sound for the T/O config, cabin alt, gear warning etc, rather than a different sequence of the same horn?
At least this is a step in the right direction.
