What is the PF responsible for during inflight checks?

The role of the Pilot Flying (PF) during inflight checks is to initiate all checklists. This responsibility ensures that safety procedures are followed systematically, allowing the crew to verify that all systems are functioning correctly and that the aircraft is operating within safe parameters. By taking charge of the checklists, the PF maintains a structured flow of the cockpit operations and minimizes the risk of overlooking critical tasks.

It is essential for the PF to manage this aspect of flight, as the Pilot Monitoring (PNF) typically assists by confirming and managing some of the actions taken but does not lead the checklist process. This division of responsibilities helps to ensure that tasks are completed efficiently and accurately.
