Memory items
Do not you think Oxy is a very important memory item that is not included
in the memory items list? Also the unreliable speed above 10000 ft does not clearly say that it should only be used during climb and not cruise. Loss of braking is another issue because of the loss of nose wheel steering if memory items followed. |
Preelut
P-predictive Windshear (windshear Ahead) R-reactive Windshear (u R In The Windshear) E-emergency Descent E-egpws Warning L-loss Of Braking U-unreliable Speed Indication T-tcas Resolution Advisory |
Two more...
Two more...
Stall and Stall on Takeoff.... I'm thinking it's a total of ten memory checklists. K-Skywalker listed seven. Pilot Incapacitation is eight. The two listed above make ten. The Stall and Stall on Takeoff are new. Tailpipe fire is not one of them....but, I fell it could/should be....as mentioned. Fly safe, PantLoad |
10 on my list as per pantload:)
|
The way i remember the 10 memory items are with the acronym
WETLUG SSC W- Windshear Ahead & Windshear (2) E-Emer Descent T-Tcas L-Loss of Braking U- Unreliable speed G- eGpws S-Stall warning at lift off S-Stall C-Crew Incapacitation... hope this helps..... |
Another less appropriate way to remember them is: Pilot Wagesluts
Pilot (incapacitation) W (windshear ahead) A (actual windshear) G (EGPWS) E (emergency descent) S (stall) L (loss of braking) U (unreliable airspeed) T (TCAS) S (stall on takeoff) might work for those with a mind not indifferent to mine... :ok: |
incapacitationboth pilots
"just pray" ------???
How can you "just pray" if you are incapacitated. . ?:rolleyes: |

10 Memory Items + Limitations
|
Old thread I know, but given the changes over the last decade, I now use:
GUTLESS.W (Gutless Wonder, American slang often cited in Westerns) GPWS/EGPWS Warnings and Cautions Unreliable Speed TCAS Loss of Braking Emergency Decent Stall Warning Stall at Lift off Windshear and Windshear Ahead |

GUTLESS.W (Gutless Wonder, American slang often cited in Westerns) GPWS/EGPWS Warnings and Cautions Unreliable Speed TCAS Loss of Braking Emergency Decent Stall Warning Stall at Lift off Windshear and Windshear Ahead Even better now that Windshear Ahead is not a memory item anymore. I use this one: W.EGGS.SLUT. Windshear Warning Emergency Descent GPWS/EGPWS Cautions GPWS/EGPWS Warnings Stall Recovery Stall Warning at lift off Loss of braking Unreliable Airspeed Indication TCAS Warnings. |
Alternatively another great way to remember these if you're not an acronym person, use a flow pattern on the cockpit instruments.
For example, if you're a LHS pilot, from left to right: Airspeed Indicator: Unreliable Airspeed, Stall Warning at lift-off, Stall Recovery VSI: TCAS Wind indicator on the ND: Windshear TERR on ND switch: EGPWS warnings, EGPWS cautions FCU: Emergency Descent Anti-skid/NWS switch: Loss of Braking |

In our company:
QRH drill: Loss of braking QRH drill: GPWS alerts QRH drill EGPWS alerts QRH drill TCAS warnings QRH drill - immediate actions EMER Descent QRH drill - Low energy warning Memory Items - Unreliable Speed Indications |

What does this mean - if you get a TCAS or a GPWS, or in the middle of landing rollout realize you have no braking, you're supposed to open the QRH?

I’m a big fan of Acronym but I must say this trick is pretty good too. Thank you for sharing! :ok:
How is that possible??? You get a TCAS RA you are supposed to be like: Hang on! Let’s get the QRH first instead of flying the plane?! Lol. Surely you apply the memory items first then maybe check the QRH right? Memory items are procedures to be taken without any delay. I’m curious to know the logic behind it. |
It's not important to remember how many items of memory are there. Any mnemonics will do. But all the actions required to be executed under each one of them is what saves the bacon. Those must not be forgotten.

Totally agree with you Vilas. Unfortunately many instructors still love to ask these kind of questions like: How many memory items? What are they? Or like what is the max EGT for engine start? In my head I’m like: Just look at the EWD. :p
