Fill in the blanks: the only required checklists are the abbreviated _________ and _____________.

• A. Takeoff, Prior to Touchdown
• B. Takeoff, Level Off
• C. Takeoff, 200 ft
• D. Prior to Touchdown, Level Off

Answer: (A)

In MH-65E operations, abbreviated checklists are kept for the moments of greatest workload: takeoff and just before landing. The two abbreviated checklists you’re expected to use are the abbreviated Takeoff Checklist and the abbreviated Prior to Touchdown Checklist. Focusing on these two phases helps ensure critical configurations and system checks are completed quickly when visibility, power, and control are most crucial for safety, without bogging down the crew with a full set of checks during high-workload moments. The other options don’t fit because Level Off isn’t designated as one of the required abbreviated checklists, and combining a phase like 200 ft or Level Off with Prior to Touchdown doesn’t reflect the standard pair of abbreviated checklists.
