NAV Database (both pilots) .......................................... VERIFY
Airplane Position Entry.................................................. CHECK
Desired Path (PNF)....................................................... VERIFY
Airplane Position relative to the Path............................ CHECK
Flight Plan ..................................................................... CHECK
Compare the navigation charts with the MAP display and the

NOTE: - A procedure shall not be used if doubt exists as to the
validity of the procedure in the navigation database;
- The creation of new waypoints by manual entry into the
RNAV system by the flight crew is not permitted;
- Route modifications in the terminal area may take form of
radar headings or direct to clearances.
Airplane Minimum Configuration................................... VERIFY
Also, where applicable, verify if the correct airport and runway data
have been loaded.
Flight Progress .............................................................. MONITOR
During the procedure and where feasible, monitor navigation
reasonableness by cross-check with conventional NAVAIDs using
the primary displays with the MCDU.
NOTE: When automatic update for departure is not available, the
procedure should be flown by conventional navigation means.
A transition to the RNAV structure should be made at the point
where the airplane has entered DME/DME coverage and has
had sufficient time to achieve an adequate input. If a procedure
is designed to be started conventionally, then the latest point of
transition to the RNAV structure will be marked on the charts. If
a Pilot elects to start a RNAV procedure using conventional
methods, there may not be any indication on the charts of the
transition point to the RNAV structure.
