Standard Size (6.5" x 9") Double Sided Color Checkmate Checklist. Please note that the picture is a sample only. Your checklist will be specific to the aircraft model shown above. CheckMate makes a dramatic difference in everyday confidence and ease of use, but also in urgent situations. Whether it's an engine failure, icing problems, gear trouble, an electrical or engine fire, or a radio out problem, the emergency procedures are immediately there. Concise and Durable The plastic substrate used on the Checkmate eliminates the problem of delamination inherent in laminated paper products. CheckMate also eliminates the flipping of pages to search for needed data for each phase of every flight. (You will also find there is no annoying "Refer to POH" common in other checklists). Every word is justified and every word is exact. Front of the Checklist The top 2/3's of the front is the actual checklist section covering everything from INITIAL to SECURING. Checkmate is frequently told that this is the most useful, most complete, and most intelligent checklist in the industry. Professional pilots will tell you, that as long as they are complete and concise, single page formats are most always preferred. Safety organizations across the U.S. endorse the Checkmate format. Below the checklist items, in the yellow section, are all the V speeds, not just a partial listing. The V Speeds are in front of you at all times, not tucked away in a chart somewhere. They even include V speeds for Va and Best Glide at lighter weights. This is important since these speeds are slower with less weight. All speeds are given in KNOTS and MPH. The bottom section shows proper configuration and data for DEPARTURE, CRUISE, and ARRIVAL, such as speeds, flaps, power settings and special notes. Back of the Checklist On the back are the EMERGENCY procedures with the subject headings highlighted in red; No time lost reading excessive wording or critical time lost searching through a flip book for the correct procedure . just concise, logical data that is INSTANTLY available. Again, you will notice our procedures are complete. Next are light gun signals and common frequencies. The yellow box in the corner gives useful information such as loads, fuel type and capacity, oil, electrical, and tire information. Data you actually use on each flight.
