The [USAF] dash-one manuals contain the instructions for configuring the
plane for flight, in flight procedures, emergency procedures, etc.
Is there a functional equivalent to the dash-one for the Shuttle?
Yes. I don't know its title, but you will occasionally see the Mission
Controller with one. I have a few pages copied from it for some stuff
that I was working on.
However, I believe that they use flight cards on the Shuttle missions.
Since each mission is different and each Shuttle is different, it's
better to generate a set of procedures and checklists cards for each
flight. This would essentially be a specific "Dash-1" for each
flight. You may remember discussions of sending new flight cards to
the Shuttle during missions.
Incidentally, the US Navy equivalent of the Dash-1 is the NATOPS manual.
