What is meant by 'Narrative' and 'Procedures' in ASA Checklists, such as 2-210?

What is the “Narrative” option within a checklist and what does it look like?

A ‘narrative’ option within the checklist provides you with a narrative text box under a set of questions. This provides you with more freedom to manually provide an answer or reasoning.


What is the “Procedure” option within a checklist and how does it look like?

A ‘procedure’ option within the checklists provides you procedures linked to specific ASA requirements with up to ‘3’ preset answers.  This allows you to comply with specific ASA requirements per procedure. This option segregates the requirements into procedures, whereas the narrative provides you with one text box to answer based on the same ASA requirements.
