I've had several beta users of FlightView ask about integrated checklists, so I've been working on adding checklists. Just displaying a checklist is pretty cool, but I thought it might be more useful to make the lists interactive so...
I ended up building a voice-enabled interactive checklist system. You create lists using a simple editor which lets you set both the display text ("Master on.") and the audio prompt ("Set master switch on."). When you run the checklist you can respond to the audio prompt by voice, saying either "check" or a custom acknowledgement. (E.g, prompt: "Set flaps to 20 degrees." response: "twenty" or "set".)
All of that will be in the next beta of FlightView, but it occurred to me that people might want to use checklists without installing an EFIS, so I've put the checklist features into a new app I'm calling Chekov. You can install Chekov from the App Store here.
The app runs on any iOS device with iOS 13 and is free for up to ten lists, each with up to ten items. If you want to go beyond those limits you can unlock it with an in-app purchase ($4.99). The upgrade also lets you share lists between device or with other users.
If you get a chance, please give it a shot and let me know what you think.
When I get some time I'll put together some base checklists for RVs and put them up on my website. You'll need to edit them to fit your aircraft, but they should serve as a decent starting point.
(P.S. - I'm a paid VAF advertiser as well as a satisfied RV owner.)
