The Checklist button can be used to open the climb checklist at any time. The button is color coded to give you feedback on the status of the climb checklist for the active leg. There are four distinct statuses:
- Gray – Pre or post flight status. (Trip Manifest has not been sent, or On the Ground has been reported.)
- Blue – Armed. The trip manifest has been sent, but the aircraft hasn’t climbed through the checklist altitude yet.
- Yellow – The checklist was opened either automatically or by the pilot, but is incomplete.
- Green – The checklist is complete.
The checklist can be enabled or disabled, the default altitude set, and the contents of the checklist changed from the Aircraft Type EFB Preferences.
If the checklist is enabled, it will automatically open at the height above ground set in the preferences. Tap each item to complete it.
