Description

smartCHECK is an App that reads Checklists by synthetic voice to airplane crews – smartCHECK is your „Digital Copilot“.

I. Checklists
App comes with a ready Light Airplane Template and a ready checklist set for the Cirrus SR22-G3 and G3 models.
You can easily add items or even checklists to the checklist set.
Other Checklist sets as in-app purchases: Cessna 172, 182, Piper Warrior and Archer.
All checklist sets from the store can be downloaded as often as required, edited and saved.
All checklist sets can be shared by eMail if the recipient owns the basic checklist of that airplane.
Send checklist sets to yourself to save them on your computer or in a cloud service. Or install them on a second iPad.
Make your own checklists for the categories Normal, Abnormal and Emergency and save them in the right category (Ground, Taxi…) of the checklist set for your airplane
All checklists you create can be read to you

II. Checklist Usage and Setting
Checklists can be displayed as text only or shown as text and be read to the pilot/crew at the same time.
Checklist items (text or audio) can also be completed manually one at a time by simply tapping the screen.
If the whole checklist is read automatically then the reading can always be stopped and resumed by one tap on the screen.
Some Checklist groups (Ground, Taxi, Takeoff…) can be forwarded automatically by GPS.
Move and sort the icons on the screen according to your needs.
Your edited checklists will be preserved with each new version of smartCHECK (we still recommend saving them).

III. Automatic Altitude Callouts on Take-off (especially important for pilots of airplanes with BRS or CAPS system)
Height AGL* above the Take-off runway can be announced („five hundred“).
Pilot can either set one Height AGL* to be announced or a range between 100 and 1000 feet.
Elevation above Take-off runway can be displayed in large numbers at the same time.
Cirrus Aircraft Checklists contain a special CAPS checklist.
After Take-off Checklists can be activated and read automatically and hands off.

IV. Integrated Document Browser: Access all your Documents, Tables or Manuals with one tap
Document Browser. Create green icons, give them a name and import any PDF or JPEG document. you might want to access with one tap.
Import PDF documents like Avionics Manuals or Performance tables.
Every document is accessible with tapping its icon.
Use the camera of your iPad to create a document on the spot.
Notepad feature.

V. Other Tools and Settings
Oil Log: Enter the Oil status of your engine, how much oil you added and the app calculates the oil consumption per flight hour.
Fuel Switch Timer: Select an interval and get an onscreen and audio reminder to switch your tanks.
Control brightness of screen in the app or use the red Night Mode.
Switch the audio feature on/off.
Switch on/off automatic forwarding of flight phases. Or swipe groups manually.
Auto voice on/off. Auto voice means: The app reads the complete checklist and goes back to the main menu when checklist is completed.
When using checklists without auto voice each tap on the screen will read one item (manual audio mode).
If used without audio each tap will only mark each item/line green (manual text mode).
Move checklist icons to other place on the screen by sliding them to a new position.
Filter which checklist types you want to have displayed with a simple toggle switch. This way you can reduce the number of icons on the screen.

Hardware Requirements: smartCHECK will work on every iPad and iPad mini.

Great checklist

I have to say, I love this checklist app. The display on the iPad is clean, easy to use. My favorite: the text to speech output that reads all the checklist points.
To the checklists and why it got only four start:
If you fly a Cirrus, no problem, just use the one provided. They have some other checklists that are about 6 bucks (and well worth it if you have such an airplane, since creating a custom one can bi a pita).
As mentioned above, creating your own checklist (e.g. for my Cardinal RG) is not so simple. You have the option of doing it on the iPad. However, I have not found out how to create categories in a checklist there.
The other option is to send yourself an email with the checklist and edit it on the computer. The checklist is in JSON format, which is basically a large text file. There you can don almost anything that you want :). However, it is not well documented and rather bothersome. It contains additional fields, like comments (even spokencomments) that do not seem to be used by the app. Also, the automatic checklist selection can be programmed in there, but this is not documented at all.
For five stars, you would need to create a nice GUI to edit the checklist on PC and/or Mac. If the format would just be a bit better documented, you'd get four and a half stars.

Nice app

Great little app that aids in the cockpit by removing the need to find and reference written or digital checklists. I love the voice prompting, but is a bit redundant in aircraft with a G1000 and an available checklist. Would be great to have an option to manually check the items and be able to jump to different parts of the list (or go back). Finally while a nice app, for $12 I expected more, hence 3 stars.

Developer Response ,

Hello, there are many ways to edit the checklist according to your needs - and you do not have to use the automatic feature, you can also set it up the way that each tap on the screen reads or shows one item.

Send me your eMail/Paypal and i will reimburse you.

Wish I didn’t buy

I thought the catalog was much more than about 8 options. Then having to buy each checklist in addition to the app seems like a duplicate charge.

Developer Response ,

There‘s 2 checklists that come with the app - and you can easily make one for your airplane with the template. If you don‘t like the app please send eMail to my support eMail and i will reimburse you. You can keep the app.
