I'm trying the checklist feature, I think it's a great feature for our group
Unfortunately 1/2 way in I unintentionally came out of the edit process and lost all the work I put in Sad
Could it be saved more often, or should I exit after every 5 items and go back in
My wishlist:
1 Typing in iPad is a pain, I would prefer to do it on my PC
2 I've already written the checklist, I'd like to import it as a structured CSV or similar?

Thankyou for Skydemon, it's a cheat code for VFR flying, You ported it to Apple around the same time as I got my PPL Smile)
imo It should be taught as part of the PPL (generically, 'flying with a tablet')

If you save the aircraft file out to a folder on your PC you will see it's an XML file with a .aircraft file extension. 

Just work out the structure of the checklists and add them in.  I put together a whole set of checklist items in a spreadsheet and with a bit of fiddling to get the output right you can build your whole checklist and then just cut/paste into the .aircraft file.
