I have the OEM Cessna checklists as per the pic.
It is adequate, but thats about it. (Airplane has been reconfigured since it left the factory. New avionics, upgrades, etc etc etc.) It IS NOT a direct copy of the checklist from the owners manual / POH. Given when it was written, its a pretty good document. I keep it in the airplane, but what I've gone to is the checklist system within Garmin Pilot on my iPad. (I have no doubt that ForeFlight has the same/similar feature.) It lists everything in red, and as you check the items off, it makes that item green. Great if you get a radio call or other distraction as you are running the checklist. I started out with the factory checklist, then ran through it on my simulator a dozen times, adding things as required to make a more thorough checklist. Seeing as I fly with my iPad mounted to the yoke, its always there, and I always use it. Leighton. |

Pilot's Check List form
Mich3773.
I reduced my checklist from the AFM its on 3"X5" cards. I used it the last time I flew with my instructor IT WORKS WELL!. I printed "TAKE-OFF, CLIMB, CRUISE, LET-DOWN, BEFORE LANDING, LANDING, and AFTER LANDING/SECURE AIRCRAFT". ON four cards. On the other side I printed "ENGINE-OUT AFTER TAKE-OFF, ENGINE-OUT DURING FLIGHT, ENGINE RESTARTS(AFTER FEATHER), SINGLE-ENGINE APPROACH, and SINGLE-ENGINE GO AROUND". I clipped the checklist to a small clipboard Velcro-ed to the yoke. I can hold the yoke with my left hand and flip the cards with my left thumb. It's much easier than trying to flip the larger checklist and maintain control of the plane and holding on to the throttles! Regards, BILLS Last edited by cessnadriver : 02-16-19 at 08:17 PM.
