Checklist with speak

K Group: Forum Members Posts: 41, Visits: 0	I would like to see Skydemon supporting airplane checklists, with the option to have SD call out the items, with the current speak capabilities. This may also be linked to the alarm feature to enable checklist pop-up for recurring items during enroute. What do you think? Would it be of value to others?

For goodness sake, just use a written checklist if you must but keep SkyDemon as a navigation app and not something that is meant to fly the aircraft for you. Takeoff performance, circuit diagrams, speaking checklists.....you're on a C172, not a Space Shuttle.

Takeoff performance, circuit diagrams, speaking checklists.....you're on a C172, not a Space Shuttle. If a 787 does not have speaking voices, why should one pretend to be in one by using audio checklists? This makes no sense. As You may have seen in my link, this is nothing related to a certain kind of aircraft but to certain software. And the competitor already offers it. Also SkyDemon is much more than a navigation app. It already is a Mass & Balance and Fuel Consumption Calculator as well as weather forecast and so on. Even the integration of PDF checklists in SD is suggested. A checklist is neither something supposed to fly the aircraft for one nor something to use „if you must“. It is mandatory and as an aural reminder will allow to look, where we all should look to instead of a written list. Clearly a big improvement for safety, which You are completely free not to use.

I agree it's not needed in any way, but I think the comparison is a bit funny as the procedure in the two pilot environment is to do call out on the checklist items. Whether you read them or a device reads them to you, should be the same process, it's just a matter of personal preference. Speaking of silly gimmicks I think some of the recent changes, like the breadcrumbs, highlight of FIS border in zoom out and weather overlay playback is more silly, and I would prefer SD to focus on some real new capabilities.
