Checklists - General
Article moved to: [[Sample Binders]]
 
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 own on a PC.  The best format for this is a surplus Air Force Crew Checklist binder - usually obtainable at aviation surplus places, e-bay and 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 sheets, 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.
 
This is what the binders look like...[[Image:Checklist_binder.jpg]]
 
 
To help you get started, here are my checklists made as a MSword document. Check out the readability of the larger size fonts!
 
They cover Normal Operation, Emergencies and Preflight in 12 sheets, with clear section titles. 
 
I printed the Emergency pages on colored paper to make them easy to find. ''Gil Alexander''
