The flight pattern illustrations for our aircraft are a typical line of a flight profile, take off/climb, cruise then descent and approach.
They are labelled with the sequence in which things should be done, like calling MSA and altimeter calls at 10,000', and also include guidance on how to set up the autopilot for an approach, including non-precision approaches. Some of these will be mandatory calls/actions, others may just be there for guidance and you could do it another way. Again, if you were going to vary anything from the standard, you would have to make that clear to the other pilot, and have a reason, usually because ATC have left you too high for the standard profile to work.
