Cessna 172 Checklist

Discover our comprehensive digital checklist tailored for the Cessna 172 GA aircraft. Each phase of flight is crafted to cover all essential procedures, from pre-flight preparations to before start, engine start, before takeoff, takeoff, enroute climb, cruise, descent, before landing, landing and finally securing the airplane. The checklist is designed to clearly indicate when each checklist item is completed by turning green and indicating completed by a green checkmark preceding the check item status. Enhance your flight safety and operational efficiency with the Cessna 172 Checklist in this digital format. 

The NTSB and aviation safety studies consistently indicate that procedural non-compliance—which primarily consists of failing to use or follow a checklist—is a leading factor in pilot-error accidents.

A Primary Driver of Pilot Error: Pilot error accounts for approximately 75% to 80% of all general aviation (light aircraft) accidents. Within that category, "procedural non-compliance" is a massive contributor. An NTSB survey of accidents where procedural non-compliance was a factor found that 78% (29 out of 37 accidents) were specifically caused by the crew failing to use the appropriate checklist.

The Cessna 172 Checklist APP requires an internet connection which may be accomplished with one of several devices available e.g. Starlink Mini for in-flight Wi-Fi access. The introduction of compact satellite internet dishes like the Starlink Mini are making broadband Wi-Fi practical for small GA aircraft for the first time. Additionally, portable power may be supplied by the use of the Flight Gear Smart Battery Pack MAX which delivers 27,600 mAh, three-port charging, pass-through capability, smart safety features, and has a crystal clear digital display. 

While Wi-Fi access and a portable power units are critical components to have on-board in the event your iPad or iPhone battery becomes discharged or signal is lost, it should be noted that a current paper version of your aircrafts checklist should always be available and on-board.
