Take flight with CHECKL!ST at your fingertips
Since the early years, modernisation in aviation has been a constant evolution in all aspects. From automation, engineering, design, technology to training, human factors, establishment of standards, maintenance, regulations and much more.
Any new information, feedback or discoveries has a role to play and makes a difference in our development as a pilot, whose common goal is to find the right balance between safety and efficiency.
With CHECKL!ST, we are now a part of this development. We are pleased to introduce you to an innovative, intuitive and straightforward optimised checklist application, which contains multiple features making your flying time safer, easier, and more efficient.
As pilots, we tend to continuously look for improvement, and there is always room for it, whether you are a student pilot, commercial pilot or a retired pilot flying gliders at your local flight club.
In aviation standards, ICAO, IATA and IFALPA have agreed on 8 core competencies for the flight crew. They cover all phases of a pilot career: training, evaluation, recurrency, etc.
Communication
Aircraft Flight Path Management – Manual Control
Aircraft Flight Path Management – Automation
Leadership & Teamwork
Problem Solving & Decision Making
Application of Procedures
Workload Management
Situational Awareness
Within the following, you will find more aviation competencies, such as cockpit organisation, flight planning, multitasking, time management, task prioritisation, fatigue management and much more. All of which, will help us achieve a safer environment to perform efficiently and comfortably in our common passion.
In order to apply these competencies in a productive and practical manner, these must generally be associated with the adapted tools, such as a headset, organised flight bags, Ipad/Iphone, charts, documentation and more.
However, over the years, technology has facilitated our ease of access to any selected information. This includes the aviation industry and CHECKL!ST has identified that need in our sector by developing an app that will sooth your workload in your everyday flights.
In the upcoming weeks, we will thoroughly explain and describe how each feature of CHECKL!ST can assist in improving your pilot competencies and simplifying your pilot life.
