I find my checklist is expanding, and there are some people who have a

wondering if someone could share some details. *Other ideas also very

Kempton Izuno first showed me the flipbook style checklist in his
cockpit. *It was large and readable, positioned right in front of the
pilot. *There were multiple lists for landing, takeoff, cross country,
etc. *Most importantly, it flipped completely out of the way when not
needed.

I planned to write a little article for Soaring on how to do this, but
never got around to it. *Your request inspired me to dig out the
photos of how to make a flipbook checklist and throw them on a website
to share. *Please visit:

Comments and suggestions can be left below the images if you double
click on them, or here, if you prefer. *Feedback encouraged.

Thanks Matt,

Could we talk you into adding the text for each of your checklist
pages? *If you'd rather not provide grist for the RAS mill, a pm would
be fine.

Craig
