Electrical Power Up
(Not memorized, read and do)
Do if you get to a dark airplane with one blue light (Ground Power Available) or, if no ground power and you’ll need the APU for electrical.
Can hit lights switch on forward FA panel to turn some lights on so it’s not completely dark.
If RED A/C out-of-service tag is on thrust levers, don’t touch anything and go sit down in first class
Don’t establish hydraulic power if flaps will move unless you cleared the outside area
Not memorized, read and do.
Reference supplemental procedures 5.6.1
VOL 1 / Supplemental Procedures 5.6.1
Preflight Interior Inspection - FO

Assumes that the electrical power up has already been done or airplane is on ground power.
Doesn’t technically need to be in order if you get it all done.

Check for PDC on ETOPS flight - Potable water and waste tank - Check
On the aft flight attendant panel in back of plane so run back there before passengers start boarding so you don’t get stuck. This is NOT in the FA’s scan so they don’t even know what the gauge means. On your way, check wings for contaminants/de-ice possibility
Waste can show 1/8 full and be ok - Quantities - Check
1000PSI, no RF and 12 qty oil each - Required Docs - Check
