As much as I enjoyed learning on the DA42NG-VI, I did not find the checklist format particularly user friendly or not super smoothly flowing...

So, as I have done something like that before for a piper and found it a great way to truly learn the aircraft inside out – I decided to give it a go at making the checklist I could use for DA42 in the format I like.

Was wondering what other people experiences are like? As I had somebody asking me to print an extra copy for them, it got me thinking if there might actually be more people interested?

Every tried using MiraCheck, without the voice recognition?

just checked it out! Incredible idea, but I guess until it reaches the level of voice assistance from futuristic movies I'd find it not so practical in real world application ( Used a similar simpler app though for flying in an Extra as the checklist is quite short and could be easily read from a mobile phone attached to the lap.

You can just turn the voice assistance off. I've used it for 4yrs+ without the voice assistance to create custom checklists. The conditional portions of lists (via Tags), and the conditional branching capabilities make it much more powerful and flexible than a paper list. It will also print paper lists with it as well.

I use it on an iPad Mini for everything from pre-flight to instrument approaches (I use an iPad Mini for my kneeboard).

I have begun experimenting with the voice response for emergency checklists when I don't want to be heads down. It doesn't need much voice recognition to understand when I say "Check". It's not trying to compete with Siri, Alexa, et al.

Alexair101: That a really impressive product you've created for yourself! I'm doing my commercial multi add-on now in a DA42, and I agree on the checklist format. For now I've decided to just become a whiz at flipping the pages to the right spot through repetition and muscle memory... but if I owned a DA42 I'd like something like you created. Actually, for the Cirrus I own I'd love something like that! Nice work!
