Personal checklists.
A personal checklist is a pilot's own list for the things the operator's SOPs leave to memory. It sits beside the approved checklists, never in place of them.
Your operator's approved checklists and SOPs always come first. A personal checklist supports them. It never replaces a normal checklist, the QRH, or anything your operator requires.
What it's for
Approved checklists cover the aircraft. A duty day has more in it than that: the routine before you report, the paperwork, the things you always mean to check and sometimes don't. Those are the gaps a personal checklist fills. Pilots use them for things like:
- a before-duty routine, from documents to the crew bag
- their own flow reminders, written the way they think through a phase
- end-of-day items: logbook, block times, what to note for the next sector
- layover and hotel reminders
How CrewCheck handles it
CrewCheck comes with checklists for each phase, from pre flight and taxi through cruise and descent to after landing, which you can change to suit you. Build more of your own from scratch, by pasting text, or by copying one you already have. Items can have a response, like Doors .... Closed, lined up on dot leaders so you scan the list instead of reading it.
Private by design
There's no account and no sign-up. Your checklists, notes and flight details stay on your device, and CrewCheck has no analytics, ads or trackers. To move your lists to another iPhone or iPad, export them to a file and import it there.
Questions
Is a personal checklist app allowed on the flight deck?
That's your operator's call. Check your operator's policy on personal devices and apps before using one in flight.
What should go on a personal checklist?
The things your SOPs leave to memory: your own before-duty and after-duty routine, what to pack, what to check in the hotel, reminders that are yours and not the operator's.
Does CrewCheck replace my operator's checklists?
No. Your operator's approved checklists and SOPs always come first. CrewCheck is for your own lists.
