I find the Kneeboard a bit cumbersome at times so, for those of us who like real world type operations, here's a printable checklist as it might have looked back in the day. It is taken from the Checklist section of the A2A Pilot's Manual with only a few minor modifications for formatting purposes.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/lxqqb6kowebe8 ... t.pdf?dl=0
Some notes:
1. Like any checklist, it assumes that the pilot has read the manual and is ready to fly the airplane to spec. Therefore, it is not a detailed description of every operation; rather, it is a reminder of things that must be done for a safe flight.
2. There has been some very interesting discussion on this Forum about the number of times the prop should be pulled through prior to starting. Because this is a variable with some differing opinions, I used the number (4) published by A2A.
3. The format is based on what I used in a real world flying career for 45+ years. The checklist is intended to be printed front and back (if you have a duplex printer, flip on the short edge) and then folded in thirds. This provides a compact document that can be easily stored and retrieved in the cockpit. I use 110 lb. paper for durability and in the real world would spray it with a photo fixative for greater protection.
I hope you like it. Comments and suggestions gratefully accepted.

Re: Printable Checklist
Perhaps an apology is in order. Being an American, I fitted this for 8.5" x 11" US Letter paper. I will try to re-size it for A4 and post to my dropbox. Thanks for the suggestion.tbaac wrote:You fitted all that on 2 sides of A4?
