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

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.
