Part 4: This post contains the text to create the following checklists:
Climb & Cruise, Decent & Approach, Landing, and Shutdown.
As mentioned in Part 2, the beginning and end of each text list will be delineated
by dashed lines as an aid for the reader interested in copying the lists. The
first line in each list is the Title for the list and is to be copied/pasted
into the appropriate line in “Checklist Titles” of the checklist creation tool …. the remaining lines of text
are the actual list and they need to be copied/pasted into either a simple text
editor if making the checklist file manually or directly into the checklist
creator tool in the cell associated with the title.
Return from the future 12/14/2017: The shutdown checklist was modified to reflect turning off the master switch as the last checklist action ... as such, securing the aircraft was omitted from the checklist (hard to keep reading the SkyView if the master switch is off).
Return from the future 11/21/2017: There were a couple of spelling errors and redundant second lines in the lists first posted two days ago. The spelling has been corrected. The redundant second lines have been removed where needed ... this was done because at the time the checklists were being made, I did not realize the SkyView displays the current checklist title being viewed at the top of the checklist screen. Those who have downloaded the text files prior to today may want to use these updated checklists.

CLIMB & CRUISE CHECKLIST
CLIMB
Throttle – FULL
5800 RPM Max 5 minutes
5500 RPM Max Continuous
Best Climb Rate (Vy)
Airspeed – 75 KIAS
Flaps – UP
Best Climb Angle (Vx)
Airspeed – 60 KIAS
Flaps – 1st DETENT
Cruise-Climb
Airspeed – 85 KIAS
Flaps – UP
EMS – CHECK TEMPERATURES
Trim – TO HOLD AIRSPEED
CRUISE
Flaps – CHECK UP
Level-Off – ACCELERATE TO
DESIRED AIRSPEED
Throttle – SET DESIRED CRUISE
POWER BETWEEN 5000 RPM
TO 5500 RPM MAXIMUM
Trim – AS REQUIRED
EMS – MONITOR GAUGES
-------------------------------------------------------------
DESCENT & APPROACH CHECKLIST
* DESCENT
PFD Altitude Alert–SET ALT BUG
Throttle – REDUCE POWER
Engine – MONITOR GAUGES
Airspeed – AS DESIRED
Flaps – UP ABOVE 82 KIAS
AS DESIRED BELOW
82 KIAS
Radio – MONITOR ATIS/AWOS
Altimeter – SET
Transponder– CODE or 1200
APPROACH
Nav Heading – SET HDG BUG TO
RUNWAY HEADING
Seat Belts – FASTENED/SNUG
Parking Brake – OFF/PUSH IN
Toe Brakes – CHECK FIRM
Fuel Pump Sw – VERIFY ON
Ignition A Sw – VERIFY ON
Ignition B Sw – VERIFY ON
Flaps – UP >82 KIAS
AS DESIRED
BELOW 82 KIAS
* Descend with enough power
to maintain cylinder head and
oil temperatures in green arc.
If possible avoid wind milling
the engine with the propeller
by reducing airspeed or
increasing power. To plan a
descent from cruise altitude
to the airport traffic pattern
use time to destination to
calculate a realistic and
comfortable rate (500ft/min).
When available, use the EFIS
vertical navigation (VNAV)
function to perform a stable
descent if terrain, airspace
and/or weather permit.
-----------------------------------------------------
LANDING CHECKLIST
LANDING (NORMAL)
Flaps – AS DESIRED
BELOW 82 KIAS
Trim – AS REQUIRED
Airspeed – 55-60 KIAS
Throttle – AS DESIRED
TO CONTROL
RATE OF DECENT
Touchdown – ON MAIN WHEELS
AFTER TOUCH DOWN
Stick – FULL AFT
Brake – AS REQUIRED
Flaps – RETRACT
Engine RPM – ABOVE 1800
Soft or rough fields fly
approach at 55 KIAS carrying
power into flare & use extreme
nose high landing attitude to
touch down at minimum airspeed
LANDING (Obstacle)
Use normal landing procedures
in addition:
Flaps – FULL DOWN
Airspeed – 55 KIAS
Throttle – AS REQUIRED to
control descent rate
Slip aircraft as necessary to
increase rate of descent.
WARNING:
High decent rates possible in
this configuration at gross
weight and throttle closed. If
airspeed gets below 55 KIAS,
level off can only be assured
with an application of power.
LANDING (Balked)
Throttle – FULL OPEN
Flaps – 1st DETENT
Airspeed: – 60 KIAS
Flaps – 1st DETENT until
clear of obstacle then:
Best Rate – 75 KIAS
Flaps – UP
----------------------------------------------------------------
SHUTDOWN CHECKLIST
* ELT Panel – LIGHT OFF
Monitor radio 121.5 MHz
check no ELT signal
Throttle – IDLE STOP
Ignition A – SWITCH OFF
Ignition B – SWITCH OFF
Avionics – SWITCH OFF
Nav/Strobe – SWITCH OFF
Landing Light – SWITCH OFF
Autopilot – SWITCH OFF
Hobbs Meter – RECORD READING
Parking Brake – PULL ON
(if desired)
Fuel Valve – SHUT/PULL UP
Master Switch – SWITCH OFF
* If ELT light ON, press reset
button on indicator panel.
If installed ELT is ACK E-04
immediately call USAF Rescue
Coordination Center at
800-851-3051 to report false
alarm.
NOTE:
To prevent vapor building in
the carburetor after shutdown
in hot days, oil door should
be left open to let heat out
of the cowl. Leaving canopy in
the open position latched with
the F-1231G Canopy Catch, will
reduce the risk of vapor-lock.
NOTE:
If high winds are anticipated,
aircraft should be hangered If
aircraft must be left out park
into wind and use additional
tie-down ropes for security.
Place the flaps in the full up
position - secure the control
stick full aft with lap belt.
