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.

CockpitCheck turns your paper checklist into a guided, always-current cockpit companion — organized exactly the way you already fly. Organized by Phase of Flight Preflight, engine start, before takeoff, takeoff, enroute, and landing — every checklist lives exactly where you expect it, grouped and ordered the way your POH already teaches you to think. Fly Mode: Guided, Step by Step Run any checklist top to bottom with a live progress ring, elapsed timer, and one-tap Check or Skip — heads up, not buried in a binder. Emergency Procedures, One Tap Away Every emergency checklist for your aircraft surfaces instantly from a single red button — no digging through tabs when seconds matter. Hands-Free Voice Readout Let CockpitCheck read each challenge and response aloud while you fly, in your choice of natural voice and pace — eyes on the panel, not the screen. Your Whole Fleet Manage checklists for every aircraft you fly — a club rental, your own plane, or several you're checked out in — each with its own groups, checklists, and emergency procedures. Works With Your Other Apps Export any checklist to PDF for printing, or to ForeFlight, Garmin Pilot, or Garmin G3X/GTN (.ace) format, so your existing EFB and avionics stay in sync. Built for iPhone and iPad A native SwiftUI app with an adaptive layout — compact on iPhone, spacious on iPad — with iCloud sync to keep your fleet current across every device. Private by Design Your checklists sync through your own iCloud account. Nothing is uploaded to a third-party server. Whether you fly one Plane on weekends or keep a small fleet current, CockpitCheck keeps every checklist exactly where — and how — you need it.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Cockpit at every 4 days against Plane Checklist's every 39 months. Plane Checklist's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 26.5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
