About the Boeing 737-800 checklist

This Boeing 737-800 checklist takes you through the pre-flight process, with tasks like fuel pump settings, system tests, and flight management setup. This allows you to mitigate risks and set up a seamless start to each journey. Since this serves as a template, you can customize any of its sections to fit your operational needs.

Consistent, efficient inspections with a Boeing 737-800 checklist

The pre-flight checklist for a Boeing 737-800 includes several critical items. The flight deck instruments must be verified, and the flight control surfaces checked for proper operation. The engine and APU are inspected to ensure they are in good condition, and fuel levels are confirmed.

Other items on the checklist include reviewing weather and flight plans, verifying emergency equipment, and confirming the cabin is secure. It’s important to follow this checklist carefully to ensure all necessary items are completed before takeoff.

Failing to complete the pre-flight checklist can result in serious consequences, including mechanical issues or even accidents. Therefore, pilots must prioritize this essential step in the pre-flight process to ensure a safe and successful flight.

How to use the Boeing 737-800 checklist

Here’s how you can add this checklist seamlessly in your workflow:

  1. Customize the checklist to match your operations. Use Lumiform’s app to tailor the template, adding or removing items to suit your team’s specific needs or airline protocols. Whether it’s checking fuel pumps or IRS mode selectors, the checklist should reflect your exact requirements.
  2. Assign roles and responsibilities. Once your checklist is set, assign tasks to crew members based on their roles. Pilots, technicians, and ground crew can collaborate, ensuring every item is verified without overlaps or gaps.
  3. Conduct checks digitally in real-time. With Lumiform’s mobile app, your team can document their progress directly during inspections. This eliminates paperwork and ensures accurate record-keeping, even on the go.
  4. Streamline task tracking with action management. Once the checklist is submitted, the app flags incomplete or missed tasks instantly, prompting corrective actions in real-time and keeping your team on track.
  5. Review and analyze performance data. Post-inspection, you can review the checklist data to identify recurring issues or delays, helping you refine processes for future flights.

Frequently asked questions

What are common mistakes to avoid when using a Boeing 737-800 checklist?

One common mistake is rushing through the checklist, which can lead to missed items or skipped steps. Always take the time to verify each task is completed properly. Another mistake is over-relying on memory instead of the checklist itself—this increases the risk of human error.

Which environmental conditions need additional pre-flight checks?

Extreme weather conditions, such as heavy rain, snow, or high winds, demand extra attention during pre-flight checks. Inspect for potential ice buildup on wings, engines, and control surfaces in cold weather, and check for debris on the tarmac during windy conditions. High humidity can affect avionics, so test these systems more rigorously.

What if a critical checklist item is missed before takeoff?

If a critical item is missed, the aircraft should not take off until the oversight is addressed. Notify the captain and ground crew immediately, and refer to standard operating procedures for guidance. For example, if a fuel system check was skipped, conduct the check and verify all parameters before continuing.
