I would like to bring that topic up again. Checklists would be a great feature. Absolutely useful and an increase of safety. Not having to hold a normal checklist in hand, especially when you have higher workload, would be genius.
@Skydemon: I guess the effort of implementation is „OK“ compared to other features. Pleeeeease consider it and if you want to discuss some ideas, feel free to get back to me.

A tab with a user configurable check list would be soooooooo good! Just a simple there levels tree would be great.

Love the idea of a checklist tab. Easy to implement and users could maintain their own checklists. I have seen the checklist feature in foreflight and really think that I would benefit of it. And getting rid of paper checklists.

+xSkyDemon supports user documents so you can add checklists if you like. Or do you want the app to force you to tick off each item as you go? I like Garmin Pilots checklist but would prefer replicated in SkyDemon… You can quickly select segment, I.e. transit restart, emergencies etc… and then manually check off… not that you do all the time check of but it’s a nice feature, also easy to update checklist with any gotchas… like new style radio call at home airfield… you could force check off as an option and have intelligent monitoring?

+xIwould also like to see an integrated, configurable checklist function in Skydemon in the future. I do not want to switch between apps and checklist are a major safety feature, if used correctly. Adding to That, similar to having documents with the ICAO prefix on the airfields, having documents with selected aircraft registry on quick access would be great. Basically having 10 checklists for all 10 aircraft you are flying but when flying one specific you see just the one. That would be awesome.

+x+xin the interest of usability:1Sorry, that doesn't look like a "good job" to me. I do not understand people's desire to have a piece of software force them to go through a list they've made themselves point by point. However, it's good to know that for people who really do want/need this, there is a solution available. Anecdotal evidence suggests that people quickly get tired of software that attempts to force them through certain tasks. We have no plans to implement this, unless the situation changes and there's suddenly a large demand, which I can't see happening. I definitely agree. Aircraft owners, or frequent same aircraft flyers, typically do checklists by memory with aftercheck and have no need for it as they did their homework anyways. Renter and occasional flyers have to do their homeworks and an electronic checklist lures them into skipping that, thus a checklist of that kind could be potential danger. Btw, I once learned that you have to use the original checklist provided for your serial number of your specific aircraft. You may have an addendum with changes, but you still have to keep the original POH and original checklist in your aircraft. How many really do that? You are correct. And I would have thought that everybody does this. The checklists, in their respective current version, form part of the POM (which indeed is serialised and matched to your tail number). It is the operator's responsibility that any "laminated" or spiral-bound hand copies that the pilot actually uses for the checks, be equally kept up to date. Problem sometimes is that the FAA approved checklists are often worded in a less than ideal way. Compared to the 4-step "ALT Failure" emergency checklist that I copied in above, the wording of the approved ALT failure emergency procedures in the Robinson POM is a number of convoluted sentences that cover at least half a page. Often the certified checklists list steps in the wrong sequence: For example: 1. If ... light comes on 2. Land as soon as practical. 3. But if xxx light is accompanied with engine vibrations, land immediately. In the interest of usability this would need to be rephrased as follows: 1. ... light comes on 2. If accompanied by engine vibrations, land immediately. 3. Else land as soon as practical. No checklist app provider can take the risk and liability to modify the manufacturers', certified checklists. However, if you know what you are doing, you can to this - at your own risk, and to great advantage - yourself. Provided off course the checklist app allows you to create your own custom checklists.

I looked into several electronic checklist APPS. There are very simple ones that have there limitations and a very powerful one, that reads the defined checklist and you can talk to it to tick it off, if you connect the app with a BT-headset. I use it in parallel to SD and love it.
If someone needs further information drop me an email.
To cover all possibel checklist features in SD it would overload the software completely. Better to run 2 good Apps side by side if desired.
what is it... MiraCheck Copilot: https://www.miracheck.com/ Mira: I like the slide over feature. It is a good alternative to having it all in one app. And I agree, let the app makers specialise on their respective focus areas.
