This repository holds checklists, written in HTML/CSS, and additional configuration and script to generate a PDF from the source.
The generated PDF has a pagesize of 8.5 x 11 inches, with the checklist approximately 6.5 x 8.75 inches, a size which works well with many pilot kneeboards.
A sample output PDF can be found in ./sample/sample.pdf.
Currently this repository contains 9 unique checklists for various aircraft/avionics configurations.
The Makefile is written to generate a single PDF output for each aircraft directory in src.
The post Generating Aviation Checklists with Make provides some additional information as to why and how this approach to checklist generation was chosen.
Disclaimer: you are responsible for the safe operation of your aircraft - these checklists are provided for reference only. Consult and use only FAA-approved POH/AFM/supplements and other material when flying. No liability of any kind is assumed should the contents of this repository be used in any way.
# To make all the checklists from source
make allAdding a new aircraft should be very straightforward: just copy and rename an existing aircraft directory within src, and modify the HTML as desired.
When running Make, the corresponding PDF will automatically be generated.
Optionally, for the purposes of viewing changes to generated PDFs, consider diff-pdf.
