Hey Everybody,
I was just contemplating; it seemed to me that I would better suit myself if I made my own checklists to use. I get tired of getting to the aircraft and seeing the FBO's 30 different checklists spewed about. Everyone has a different order and it is hard to decide which is best to use. As I progress in my training, I have had some of ideas of things which I think I should include in a checklist and things that would make each flight safer, more organized, and more enjoyable for me.
I was also thinking it would be a good idea to color code them (i.e. putting standard procedures on white and emergency procedure checklists on red).
So, I am wondering, what do you guys think of the idea of making your own checklists (using the POH as a guideline)? How are they viewed upon by the FAA (especially the DE on a checkride)? Any input would be appreciated! Thanks.
