Your preflight, with proof

Tick items on your phone in real time. When you're done, enter your email and receive a timestamped log — every item checked, every item skipped, and when each one was done. Your own record of every preflight, in your inbox.

Honest about the source

Every checklist shows where it came from and whether someone has double-checked it against that source. Nothing is dressed up as "verified" if nobody has actually sat down and compared it item by item.

Works your way

Print to any paper size — letter, kneeboard, index card. Export as PDF, Word, CSV, or Markdown. Fork any checklist and change what your aircraft does differently. No account, no lock-in, no rate limits.

What this is not

Not approved data. Nothing here replaces your aircraft's own flight manual. For type-certificated aircraft, the approved AFM governs. Every checklist states its source and verification status — read that before you rely on it.

Part 103 ultralights, paramotors, hang gliders and experimental aircraft are often not required to have a flight manual at all. For those, a well-sourced community checklist is the best available resource — and being honest about that is exactly the point.
