Hi guys. I was really tired of looking into the manuals for my checklists, so I made an webapp that supports both iOS and Android!Im still developing this app, but as of now it has this features: * Standard checklist for the 737 NG (from BOEING-manuals)* METAR-check (From VATSIM) I will be adding a modified checklist tomorrow that starts the beast from Cold & Dark all the way to cruise, and of course shut down after landing. Please let me know if there is anything else that should be added, and I will look into it! Point your tab, ipad og phone to: http://fs.kwt.no and enjoy :) Best regardsKristian Waalberg

By checklist, do you actually mean a checklist used by real world pilots, or just the normal procedures in checklist format?

Hehe typically the normal procedures in checklist format is what real world operators use....with some variation from operator to operator on who does what and laminated up on some easy to grab paper. As if your asking him if it's sourced from a operator vs. the PMDG/Boeing documentation I don't think you'd see much difference. Just tried it out - Love the METAR tool works good for all sorts of airports! May I ask where you getting the weather data from? From NOAA or something? Typically apps like these have US only weather or stuff like that..I was quite surprised to see it works fine with Canadian airports.

Hi Yitzhak.This is the checklists from the Boeing Documentations.I will be adding a more detailed step-by-step (better flow) checklist tomorrow.

yeah, but pilots don't reference a checklist to know what to do next, they just do what they need to from memory and then refer to the checklists to see if they missed anything...

Umm I don't know about that man...I'm just a measly little Private Pilot up here in Canada...and there isn't certainly much on an ol' 170's checklist but I have that thing out on my lap every time and follow it. You start memorizing too much stuff you'll miss things. Place I work for definitely has both pilots looking at the checklists when they are doing them...with a typical challenge and action response between pilot-flying and pilot-not-flying. If they were BS'in their way through checklists there'd be hell to pay. There are some memory items when it comes to emergency checklists though...things involving engine failures/fires/etc...ie...they want you to feather the prop now before the thing seizes up fine...then grab the checklist and work it out.

This is a brilliant idea,can't wait :)

No. Sorry man, that's not the idea of a checklist. Yes you should know the items by heart, but the checklist should still be followed item by item, rather you know the items or not. Here are memory items: http://www.theairlin...memoryitems.htm

Well, from watching videos from ITVV and JustPlanes, what I saw most of the time was the crew performing their tasks as if they had memorized the normal procedures, and then referring to the checklist to review what they had already done, item by item after each stage, and not holding the checklist on one hand, reading each line and going for the knob/switch the item called for to change it. But then again, I'm only a private pilot trained in a 172, so what would I know about real life airline ops.

Do you know what happens when you do things by heart without checklists in real life?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_Air_Lines_Flight_1141The fact that they pulled the C/B also played a big part, but I guarantee you, you'll have an awful lot of explaining to do if you make a config horn sound in real life, while lined up on a runway.Remember, those checklists are made to be used, not to look brand new after 5 years.

I wasn't talking about not using the checklists, didn't you read what I wrote?

Not using them or using them after you've done everything results in the same thing: skipping some items. Not every time... Hell, maybe not even a thousand flights in a row, but that one time just might be enough to make sure it's your last.Of course, this is only simulation, but in real life, a checklist should be followed item after item. Way too much crews don't do this, which is a crying shame.PS: Should this come off a little harsh, terribly sorry. I sure don't mean it that way :(

Relax Isaac... We're discussing here. I figured you'd appreciate those memory items.

lol, what sucks the most about written communication is that you can never tell the tone of the text! I didn't mean to sound ticked off, my bad. and actually, I already bookmarked those so I can print them at work tomorrow!

Trust me, I come across as ###### or otherwise everyday in here (sometimes I actually am). I feel your pain man.
