747 Landing Checklist

Just in case it ever comes up. [Link]

  1. Get on the radio, and tell whoever's listening that you are landing a 747.
  2. Engage a single channel of the autopilot — light one of the buttons labeled "CMD." Point the heading indicator in the direction indicated to keep the plane straight and level.
  3. Find the checklists in the side pocket of the pilot's and copilot's seat. If the plane is a 747-400, engage the Automatic Landing System (ALS). If it is not a 747-400, see below under "Landing Without ALS."
