• C. Be consulted only after landing.
• D. Serve as a maintenance log.

Answer: (D)

The QRH is a quick-reference guide that provides concise, standardized procedures for abnormal and emergency situations to ensure crew coordination and safety. It’s designed for rapid use in flight, giving clear steps and callouts so pilots can stabilize the situation, diagnose faults, and divide tasks effectively under stress. The emphasis is on what to do immediately, not on routine operations, helping maintain a safe and coordinated response across the crew. It does not replace normal checklists for everyday procedures, and it’s not a maintenance log or something consulted only after landing. Maintenance records and documentation are handled separately by maintenance personnel.
