Quick Reference Handbook
A Quick Reference Handbook (QRH) is a troubleshooting manual for aircraft pilots. A QRH is kept in the cockpit and can be consulted whenever the flight crew experiences in-flight problems. It includes various checklists for dealing with abnormal and emergency situations, based on the equipment and furnishings on the airplane. The aircraft manufacturer-designated checklists are always included in a QRH, and often the company or operator will include its own procedures. Therefore, there is no single universal QRH, but in practice it is referred to as the Quick Reference Handbook.[1] When designed and used correctly to address issues such as turbine engine failures or on-board fires, a QRH can prevent aviation accidents and incidents.[1]
The first QEHs in the 20th century were made out of paper, but in the 21st century, many pilots have switched to so-called 'electronic flight bags', which have the advantage of electronic search functions, but require electricity to work.[1]
