The application is developed as a collection of checklists for flying in flight simulators, such as X-plane, MFS and others. We try to always update existing data and add new ones. At the moment, there are main aircraft, for example, Boeing, Airbus, Cessna, etc. Checklists contain complete information from Pre-Start Checklist to Approach, Landing and Shutdown checklists. In aviation, a preflight checklist is a list of tasks that should be performed by pilots and aircrew prior to takeoff. Its purpose is to improve flight safety by ensuring that no important tasks are forgotten. Failure to correctly conduct a preflight check using a checklist is a major contributing factor to aircraft accidents.
