From the AA Flight Department -
SUBJ: NEW ELECTRICAL CHECKLISTS
A RECENT FLIGHT DIVERTED INTO ORD AFTER COMPLETELY DISCHARGING
THE BATTERY IN FLIGHT. THE CREW FOLLOWED THE CHECKLISTS
CORRECTLY WHICH COME DIRECTLY FROM BOEING AND DID NOT DIRECT
THE CREW TO LAND AT THE NEAREST SUITABLE AIRPORT. I WILL BE
ISSUING A PINK BULLETIN THAT WILL REPLACE YOUR CURRENT QRH
TABS 9 AND 10 CHECKLISTS AS WELL AS THE ENTIRE ELEC SECTION
CHECKLISTS. MOST IMPORTANTLY, THESE NEW CHECKLISTS WILL DIRECT
THE CREW TO LAND THE AIRCRAFT AT THE NEAREST SUITABLE AIRPORT
IF THE BATTERY IS DISCHARGING AS WELL AS ADD A LIST OF ALL
ITEMS ON THE STANDBY AC, STANDBY DC, BATTERY BUS AND HOT
BATTERY BUS. YOU WILL SEE THESE CHECKLIST REVISIONS SOON.
