Is there a good way to create or import check lists?

jrmlong

Am I missing something on making this easier? It is very tedious to do from a mobile device, it would be much easier to do from a computer.

It also seems like a missing opportunity for community contributions to create a repository of checklists, potentially even manufacturer submitted/verified for newer aircraft.

    Hello! We appreciate your feedback and have brought this discussion to our Garmin Pilot engineers. However, currently for the airframes that are not listed in the checklist binder options, the best option is to either build them from scratch or take photos of the physical checklists and upload them into the documents page of Garmin Pilot. We've added another request for this feature on your behalf.

    https://rdamazio.github.io/efis-editor/ This editor will allow you to create checklists you can export in .gplt format that will work with Garmin Pilot and several other platforms. Unfortunately you can't edit any of the checklists resident in GP because they are encrypted and Garmin won't allow the EFIS Editor developers to include the code to edit those files.

    Sounds typical of everything else Garmin does. I have several pilot friends building aircraft, and not one of them is willing to put ANYTHING Garmin in their airplanes based on experience trying to help another friend who has Garmin in his plane. I'm on the GP trial right now, because I was thinking of leaving ForeFlight after my subscription is over, but just the pain of checklists is probably going to push me a different direction.

    Another Garmin Pilot trial user considering switching from ForeFlight to Garmin Pilot and finding the lack of ability to import checklists  (e.g. .ace files) a major detractor to making the switch which is unfortunate as it seems like there are many things to like about GP over ForeFlight.

    Hi Garmin Developers - Any progress? I'm another Foreflight user considering the move when my subscription is up. I have my custom checklists (word file, printed & laminated 8 pages) that I'd love to incorporate within my flying flow. Foreflight doesn't make it easy to enter checklists either - Let us do it on the web or offline and import to the app. Retyping on a mobile device would be super tedious. Could be a great feature where Garmin would be better than FF!
