What about adding a checklist function that is integral within SkyDemon iPad?

This got me thinking... What really would be helpful and a potential life saver is a "context sensitive" checklist. So when I'm doing the runup I see the runup checklist. When I'm taking off I have the take-off checklist available. On leveling off, it's the cruise checklist.

This could be accomplished by attaching checklists to particular points along the flight, e.g. descent checklists to descent markers, approach checklists to VRP near the destination airfields, take-off checklists to the departure airfield, etc.

I can see some value in having checklists all in one place, and for use on the ground. I do not believe checklists should normally be used in flight - things like cruise and approach checks are better performed as memory items. In GA we need to be looking outside, not reading checklists!

If you know the checklist by heart, then you would not need to use the feature. A waypoint based checkpoint could act as a memory jogger to run through the checklist at the appropriate time - you would not need to read the detail unless you needed to...

In IMC conditions, you are not looking out of the window anyway.

Have been searching for help in uploading docs into SD using ITunes, without success...can anyone explain where to look or even better, how to do it?

Best regards
