Folks,
DirectAnywhere has it right ---- it is the AFM checklists for each aircraft, and some are good, some are a pain in the neck, but you are stuck with it.
See CASR Part 21 and CAR 138.
This has been the case since mid-1998, But, Hey!!!! Its only 15 years ago, can't expect Australian aviation to change too fast.
Tootle pip!!
