About FLIGHT Checklist
One place for every startup procedure.
FLIGHT Checklist is a free, browser-based tool that gives flight sim pilots interactive startup checklists, emergency procedures, quick reference cards, custom checklists, and pilot calculators, all in one app. Fly a checklist together with your crew as a coop checklist, or give your virtual airline or squadron one shared set of procedures with Flight Groups. No downloads, no sign-up needed, no clutter.

Features
Interactive Checklists
Tap through every switch, lever, and button from cold & dark to taxi. Steps highlight in sequence so you never lose your place. Progress bars track completion per phase.
Emergency Procedures
Quick-access emergency reference cards for every aircraft. Engine fires, failures, hydraulic loss: bold, fast-read procedures for critical in-flight situations.
Quick Reference Cards
V-speeds, power settings, flap schedules, engine limits, and key numbers for every aircraft, all on one card. The numbers you need, fast.
Custom Checklists
Build your own from scratch, fork a built-in aircraft, or import from JSON, CSV or Excel, then file them in folders. Kneeboard cards work for these too, and everything stays in your browser.
Coop Checklists
Fly one checklist together. Start a coop checklist from any aircraft or your own, share the 4-character code, and every tick shows up live on every screen, with who ticked it. No account needed.
Flight Groups
A private group of up to 5 pilots for your virtual airline or squadron. Publish your procedures once with a revision number, share one invite link, and everyone flies the same version.
Synced Across Devices
Create a free account to keep your custom checklists, folders, favorites and progress in sync between your PC, tablet and phone. It's optional, and everything works without one.
Focus / Streamer Mode
One tap strips the page down to just the checklist: no nav, no sidebars, no clutter. Made for stream captures and second monitors. Press F on any aircraft page or coop checklist.
Voice Mode
Hands-free checklist operation. Enable voice mode on any checklist and say "check" or "checked" to advance each step. Steps and phase names are read aloud automatically. Chrome or Edge.
Printable Kneeboard Cards
Turn any checklist, quick reference or emergency card into a set of kneeboard cards. Pick your paper (5 x 8, A5, Letter or A4), then save a PDF or print it. What you see is exactly what prints.
Works Offline
Open a checklist once and it keeps working with no connection, whether you're on a flight, on a train, or the network drops mid-startup. Your own checklists are always available.
Favorites
Star the aircraft you fly most. Your favorites appear on the homepage for instant access. No account needed, and they sync if you sign in.
Global Search
Find any aircraft instantly with Cmd+K / Ctrl+K. Real-time filtering with keyboard navigation. Works from any page.
Themes & Accessibility
Light and dark cockpit themes, each with a high contrast option. Adjustable text size and alternate fonts, including Atkinson Hyperlegible for low vision.
Desktop & Mobile
Works on your phone next to the sim, on a tablet on your lap, or on a second monitor. Responsive design with touch-friendly 44px tap targets.

Built in the Open
FLIGHT Checklist is shaped by the people who use it. There is a Discord for questions, requests, and what is coming next, and every release is documented.

Important Disclaimer
This tool is for flight simulation only. It is not intended for, and must not be used for, real-world aviation. The checklists are simplified procedures designed for simulator use. Real aircraft require certified documentation and proper training.
Who Built This
I'm Paul, a flight sim enthusiast who got tired of juggling multiple browser tabs, Google Drives, PDFs, and random websites just to find the right startup procedure. Every new aircraft meant hunting down checklists scattered across forums and docs.
So I built FLIGHT Checklist: one place with clean, tap-through checklists that work on any device right next to your sim, alone or with the people you fly with. No downloads, no sign-up needed, no clutter.
