Pilot Procedures

Features
Read full description

The aircraft's normal procedures, phase by phase — one tap away, built for the cockpit. Pilot Procedures takes the normal procedures for the aircraft you fly and turns them into a fast, heads-up flow you can run with one hand. Dark, glare-free, and distraction-free, so your focus stays where it belongs. WHY PILOTS USE IT • Normal procedures, phase by phase — interior, before start, taxi, takeoff, climb, cruise, descent, landing, shutdown and more • Two ways to run them — a full overview with per-phase progress, or a focused step-by-step view, one item at a time • Tap to confirm, swipe back to review — heads-up, never buried in a PDF • Progress saves automatically, right where you left off • A glass-cockpit design tuned for low light • Build your hangar — add only the aircraft you actually fly • Make it yours — build custom checklists for your own operations, training flows, or personal flows AIRCRAFT INCLUDED — 13 AND GROWING Hand-authored normal procedures for a full general-aviation lineup: • Pilatus PC-12 turboprop • Cessna 150, 152, 172P Skyhawk, 182Q Skylane, 210 Centurion • Piper PA-28 Warrior II, Archer II, Archer III, and PA-32 Cherokee Six • Beechcraft Bonanza A36 • Mooney M20J • Grumman AA-5B Tiger Most of the lineup is built directly from the manufacturer's POH/AFM, phase by phase. More aircraft are added regularly. BUILD YOUR OWN • Custom checklist builder — create your own procedures and run them the same heads-up, one-item-at-a-time way as the built-in aircraft. Free at launch. — Pilot Procedures is a reference and training aid. It does not replace the manufacturer's approved Aircraft Flight Manual (AFM/POH) or official procedures. Always operate your aircraft in accordance with your approved documentation.
