Ever thought of adding an aircraft checklist module on?

‌A module could exist that allows users to define checklist pages/tabs, with titles and a list of items that can be ticked off as complete as the checklist is run.  Users would maintain responsibility for producing their own checklists, using the standard POH, AFM and paper checklists approved for their machine.

‌This idea being that without leaving the SkyDemon interface you can switch to a checklist while maintaining GPS data logging, and no home button clicking needed. I use ForeFlight's Checklist program for iPad. It is great as I have added important items that weren't on my "approved" paper check list (like parking brakes prior to startup!). Pulling up the correct emergency checklist is very fast, and if techniques or AFM changes or gets additions, it is easy to add to a checklist or amend if appropriate.  You could even associate the correct checklist with aircraft model type allocated to the route planned.

I know Tim has already replied to this but as its the most recent post on this topic I just wanted to say this is something I would like to see also!

For me the benefits would be that the item state on the checklist could be stored while the flight is in progress, to avoid the usual feelings of "hang on how far down that checklist did I get, before ATC started talking and I had to write something down" or passenger interruptions etc.

Obviously I recognise that this is already available in separate apps and there is a workaround with the PDF documents feature, it would just be nice if everything was in the same app, possibly even just as a menu item under the SkyDemon logo button during flight, along with the Scratchpad etc. which could then if enabled create a prompts or reminder if say the pre-takeoff checklist had not been completed and the aircraft entered a runway, but then again that sort of feature may just be on my wish list along with RAAS style warnings BigGrin

Just my opinion!
