Flight Sim Checklists keeps the cockpit flow in your hand while you fly on the sim. Pick your aircraft, work the checklist challenge-and-response style, and tap each line as it's called — no scrolling a PDF on a second monitor, no losing your place halfway down the approach. Built for desktop simmers who fly with a phone or tablet propped up next to the yoke. AIRCRAFT INCLUDED • Airbus A320 / A330 — 11 sections, Cockpit Preparation through Securing the Aircraft • Airbus A300 — 9 sections, Before Start through Securing Aircraft • Boeing 737 NG — 10 sections, Preflight through Secure 158 items in total, written in the ACTION → RESPONSE layout used on the flight deck, so what you read matches what you'd hear. RUN A CHECKLIST • Tap any line to check it off — it dims so your eye lands on what's left • Mark a whole section complete in one tap, or unmark it to run it again • Move between sections with buttons labelled with the actual next and previous section names • Haptic feedback on every check, with a distinct confirmation when a section completes SEE WHERE YOU ARE • A progress ring on each aircraft card shows how far through the flight you are • The section menu colour-codes every section: not started, in progress, or complete • Reopen an aircraft and it drops you straight back at the first section you haven't finished • Aircraft with a flight in progress sort to the top of the home screen • Reset a single section or the whole aircraft whenever you want a clean start • Progress clears itself after a day of inactivity, so the next flight never starts half-checked BUILT FOR iPHONE AND iPAD • iPad runs a two-column layout — section list on the left, live checklist on the right • iPhone keeps the checklist full-screen with the section list one tap away • Portrait and landscape, so it works flat on the desk or clipped to a stand • Dark mode, Dynamic Type, and full VoiceOver labelling on every item NO STRINGS • Works completely offline — every checklist ships inside the app • No account, no sign-in, no subscription • No ads, no analytics, no tracking, nothing collected about you For flight simulation and training-familiarisation use only. Not for use in real-world aviation. Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Airbus, Boeing, Microsoft, or any aircraft manufacturer or simulator publisher. Always fly the real aircraft by its official, current documentation.
