What are the 2 instrument in flight checks used prior to descent from cruising altitude?

WHOLDS or A-DRWHOS

WHOLDS

W - WX, check prior to initial approach fix (IAF) or beginning enroute descent

H - Holding, coordinate holding instructions if required

O - Obtain clearance for the approach

L - Let down plate (approach) review

D - Descent check

S - Speed, slow down for holding, or low altitude procedure

A-DRWHOS

(A-DRWHOOOS)

A - ATIS

D - Descent check

R - Review IAP

W- WX, check prior to the IAF or beginning enroute descent

H - Holding clearance - coordinate holding instructions if required - Heading (teardrop/outbound/etc.)

O - Obtain clearance for the approach/ climbout/

O- OBS

O-Ops check

S - speed

What is the let down plate review?

NMAILMAN

NMAILMAN (for reviewing approach)

N - NAVAIDS, set for position awareness

M - Minimum altitudes (on approach, minimum/emergency safe, etc.), WX minimums

A - Altimeter

I - Initial descent rate

L - Lost communication instructions, if required

M - Missed approach and (or) climbout

A - Aerodrome sketch

N - NAVAIDS, set and review changes for approach

Which check is used before commencing final approach or between approaches?

DLIDS, NORMS, or LDORODO

DLIDS

(after OBSing FAF but NLT on Final)

D - DME Hold (as required)

L - Localizer, set correct frequency

I - Inbound course, set if required

D - Display

S - Speed for approach

NORMS

(NOOORMS)

N - NAVAIDS + TAS( and GPS-OBS?)

O - Obtain clearance/climbout

O-Ops Check

O- OBS

R - Review approach and/or RMU set

M - Minimum and/or missed approach

S - Speed

LDORODO

LDORODO (for GPS approach, after IAP WP is selected)

L - Load the approach

D - (Proceed) Direct -->Initial Fix

R - RAIM check (predictive) -STA 5

O - OBS if required

D - Display setup as desired or required - N/N/M/C

O - OBS - OFF<IF or FAF

When are the 6 Ts performed?

When crossing any approach or holding fix to maintain SA and Aid Task Management

TO + 6 Ts

T - TIM - Tune, Identify, Monitor

O - OBS on?(IAF/FAF)

T - Time for the approach or holding leg

T - Turn to specific heading or to intercept a desired course

T - Throttle set to hold desired airspeed

T - Twist desired course into the CSW

T - Track the selected course

T - Talk (make appropriate radio call) Note: This is intentionally the last step.
