\item These checklists can be bundled into a Quick Reference Handbook (QRH)
which the CAA defines it as:
\blockquote{A handbook containing procedures which

Abnormal procedures. The procedures
may be abbreviated for ease of reference

\item Therefore, as there may be a need for the checklist to be
referenced quickly and potentially in emergency situations,
these checklists should be tested for flaws
