Those 121 airplanes are too complicated to do that. Memory items first, then QRH. You got two pilots and if you're lucky, maybe somebody typed in the plane is jumpseating and can lend a hand. In a two pilot aircraft using crm, the pilot flying isn't reading the QRH, the non-flying pilot is.satpak77 said:yeah lets FLY and worry about books, checklists, and other stuff once FLYING is done
Swissair learned that the hard way. Night electrical fire? Land? Not now, the book says we are overgross and that is prohibited
less bookee, more FLYEE FLYEE

In a single pilot aircraft, like a Seneca or a Caravan, you don't have extra hands for reading a book on how to fly an airplane. You should know the how, what, where, when, why of what makes it go and what makes it stop.

Let's say you have been cleared to enter a hold, and just as you enter it (i.e. as you cross the beacon/VOR/etc), you experience an engine failure in a twin.
