If you have notes or procedures from elsewhere (eg FSF), you may use them in addition to the AFM, if you so wish, but you do so at your own risk (at least in the first instance) and you must not contradict the AFM by using them.
In thie specific example I'm referring to FLSH, what is the 'risk' of cross checking a checklist response?
It seems to me that the risk lies in NOT cross checking.
Just one example - the notorious "ONF" respnse by the PF of the Air Florida/Washington accident when the Eng Anti-Ice challenge was read.
The switches were in fact OFF. The PF seems to have heard the response as ON and accepted it.
If he had just cross checked those switches.....
Never mind your colleague, its your checkie who needs a good
boot in the arse. It doesn't really matter what type of aircraft
it is, be it a nice Boeing or a damn Airbus, its assumed by the
manufacturers that pilots are professional enough to make
crosschecks as necessary without having to spell the whole
thing out in writing.
Slash, giving my checker a boot would not be conducive to passing the check. Besides, I find that my new colleagues do many strange and wonderous things, and stopping the Sim to debate them all would certainly be interesting, but rather time consuming also.
