Seamless Integration

From Creation to Cockpit in Minutes

Build professional checklists on your iPad and instantly sync them to Garmin Avionics, ForeFlight, Dynon SkyView, and dozens of other systems. One checklist, unlimited possibilities.

Precision Challenge & Response

Mirror professional flight operations with clearly separated action items and verification responses. Visual hierarchy through intelligent color coding—red for warnings, amber for cautions, blue for notes—ensures nothing critical is overlooked when seconds count.

Intelligent Content Recognition

Transform any checklist source into perfectly formatted ACE files with our advanced parsing engine. Whether copying from PDFs, Word documents, or handwritten notes, the editor instantly recognizes patterns and structures your content into professional aviation checklists.

Seamless Device Ecosystem

Your checklists flow effortlessly between iPad, SD card, and aircraft panel. Make edits in the hangar, sync to your drive, and watch changes propagate instantly to your G1000. True bidirectional synchronization keeps every device in perfect harmony.

Phase-of-Flight Intelligence

Thoughtfully organized into distinct operational phases—from first walk-around to final shutdown. Each section engineered for instant access: normal procedures flow naturally, emergency items jump to attention, and abnormal situations are handled with clarity and speed.
