Normal checklists are not read-and-do lists and should be accomplished after performing the flow of SOPs actions.
The correct completion of normal checklists is essential for safe operation, particularly for takeoff and during approach and landing.
For an effective use of normal checklists, the following generic rules should be considered.
Initiating normal checklists:
Normal checklists should be initiated (called) by the pilot flying (PF) and read by the pilot not flying (PNF),
If the PF fails to initiate a normal checklist, the PNF should suggest the initiation of the checklist (by applying good CRM practice).
Normal checklists should be called in a timely manner during low-workload periods (conditions permitting) to prevent any rush or interruption that could defeat the safety purpose of the normal checklists.
Time and workload management (i.e., availability of other crewmember) are key factors in the initiation and effective conduct of normal checklists.
Conducting normal checklists:
Normal checklists are based on the “challenge and response“ concept.
Critical items require response by the PF; some less-critical items may be both challenged and responded to by the PNF alone.
Use of Normal Checklists

To enhance communication and understanding between crewmembers, the following standard rules and phraseology should be used at all times:
.  
The responding crew member should respond to the challenge only after having checked or corrected the required configuration;

.  
If achieving the required configuration is not possible, the responding crewmember should announce the actual configuration;

.  
In all cases, the challenging crewmember should wait for a positive response (and should cross-check the validity of the response, as required) before moving to the next item; and,

.  
The PNF should verbalize the completion of the checklist by calling “ […] checklist complete”.

A320/A330/A340 families feature electronic normal checklists (i.e., TAKEOFF and LANDING MEMO) that allow a positive identification of :

.  
Items being completed; and,

.  
Items still to be performed (blue color coding).

Interrupting and resuming normal checklists:
If the flow of a normal checklist needs to be interrupted for any reason, the PF should announce a formal and explicit hold such as “hold (stop) checklist at [item] “.
An explicit call such as “resume (continue) checklist at [item] “ should be made.
Upon resuming the normal checklist after an interruption, the last known completed item should be repeated - as an overlap – to prevent another item from being omitted.
The SOPs, in the applicable FCOM and QRH, provide type-related information.
Training Aspects
Disciplined use of SOPs and normal checklists should begin during the transition training course, because habits and routines acquired during transition training have a recognized lasting effect.

Transition training and recurrent training also provide a unique opportunity to discuss the reasons for the rules and procedures, and to discuss the consequences of failing to comply with them.
Conversely, allowing a relaxed adherence to SOPs and/or a relaxed use of normal checklists during transition or recurrent simulator training may encourage corresponding deviations during line operation.
Line checks and line audits should reinforce strict adherence to SOPs and Normal Checklists.
