Which item is NOT part of the 200 ft Checklist?

• A. NR Switch as Required
• B. Wheels Up/Confirmed Down
• C. Floats as Required
• D. RADALTS as Required

Answer: (D)

At 200 feet, the focus is on confirming the helicopter’s configuration for a safe landing. The checklist is about ensuring the aircraft is in the proper state for the approach: the NR switch is in the correct position as required, the landing gear status is clearly indicated and confirms wheels are up or down as appropriate, and floats are configured if the helicopter will be operating on water or in a scenario that requires flotation gear. These items are tangible configuration checks that directly affect whether you can descend and land safely.

Radar altitude, on the other hand, is a continuously monitored instrument during the approach and landing. It provides height above ground, but it isn’t a discrete configuration item you “check as required” at the 200-ft waypoint. You rely on the radar altimeter reading throughout the approach rather than treating it as a separate checklist entry.

So the item that is not part of the 200 ft Checklist is the RADALT as Required item. The other three are configuration checks you would verify as you prepare to land.
