Checklists - General

One option for checklists for those of us who don't like looking at the microscopic print on some of the commercial ones is to make our on on a PC. The best binder for this is a surplus Air Force Crew Checklist binder that are usually obtainable at aviation surplus places, e-bay and at major fly-ins (I got mine at the Copperstate fly-in). These binders come with clear plastic page covers that will take a slightly trimmed down 8.5 x 11 paper folded in two. They are tough, easy to open up and fold over so you are only looking at a half page at one time. With the slide in sheet, they are easy to change if you want to customise a checklist to your requirements - You could add a "check cell phone OFF line as an example.
