Manager" Reviewed

Senior staff reviewer Brian Fletcher looks at a utility that every
serious simmer has used in one form or another. The checklist.
Except this time it's in electronic form. Here's
Checklist Manager
by SEA Development.
"The aircraft checklist acts as a silent co-pilot that ensures your
aircraft is airworthy and walks you through each step of flight from
pre-start to shutdown," notes Brian, "What is the Checklist Manager?
In short, it is one of the most simple and straight to the point
onscreen checklists available for FS9."
"Technically speaking, the SEA Checklist Manager will work with any
aircraft in your inventory from the Wright Flyer to the Airbus A380.
In order to load the Checklist Manager you will need choose one of
the “SEA Checklist Manager” flights from the “select a flight” menu
in FS9. Once the flight loads you can then choose any aircraft of
your choice and the Checklist Manager will remain active."
"Each of the flights will begin with a cold cockpit where you will
follow a series of pre-start inspections to ensure the aircraft is
ready for startup. The checklist will begin by requesting an
external inspection, a fuel calculation, and suggest that you get a
weather briefing from ATIS. The next few steps ask you to verify
that your charts are ready for use, the parking brake is set with
the throttle controls at idle, and to switch on the battery master
switch. Once the pre-start inspection is complete it will be
replaced by the startup procedure checklist,....and so on."
The Cap'n wraps up
the review
with, "Like every add-on ever made, this product comes down to a
matter of taste. Some virtual pilots will like the ability to have
the on-screen checklist so that they don’t have to take their eyes
off the screen. Others may prefer the realism of having a paperback
version instead. I have found a few benefits to having a program
like this."

Excellent
application. I bought it yesterday and I'm very satisfied. I did a
test flight with a PSS A319 and it was excellent from start-up to
landing. Maybe you should try to add more aircraft add-ons like
LDS-767 and PMDG 747-400.
Regards and
congrats,

Hello,
First, I would like to thank you for developing a product that
allows sim flyers like me to go from cold startup to landing without
the need for manuals at our side!!! This product has allowed me to
simulate complete flights on a number of addons that I have that
were "out of my reach" for cold and dark operations.
One
question here - Do you think that I can use checklists from
"similar" A/C if there are no actual products to support them. My
current concern is the Majestic Dash 8 - 300. I also have the PSS
Dash 8 but would rather use my Masestic addon. Since I am not
familiar with the portion of your product that does the "automatic"
phases of my flight, I am hoping that the program will work for
these similar addons until actual ones are available. My Dreamfleet
Baron is another.
Thanks for the great product,
- Thanks and congratulation as your
program is more useful as FDC Flight Companion (I previously used it
for 9 months)
Philippe - Ciao Michele,

ieri sera ho fatto il mio primo voletto su IVAO
con CLM e FSPassengers in accoppiata...SPE..TTA..CO..LA..RE!!!!
Utile la funzionalità checklist automatica e manuale!
Complimenti Michele, ottimo lavoro...continua
così!

Ciao Michele, ho appena
installato e provato il tuo CheckList Manager. Penso sia il migliore
che tu abbia creato!! Infatti rispetto a Flight Sound Controller che
arricchisce un pò l'audio e a The Challenge che rende la simulazione
di volo più un gioco (però hai ragione, ogni tanto si deve rompere
la monotonia!!!), questo è veramente UTILE, perchè rende molto più
realistica la preparazione e lo sviluppo del volo in maniera attiva
(già il fatto che non inizi con il motore in moto è stupendo)
consentendo anche di alleggerire il carico di lavoro nei momenti
"critici".

Hello!
Thank you for making checklist for fsx! I was able to get airbus
into air without printing pages! I really would like to see
checklists for CaptainSim C-130 and CaptainSim 757. Those are my
favorite aircrafts.
