Every feature, built by pilots.

Checklist.aero is the editor we wished existed when we started flight training. Here is everything it does — and how the five-step workflow gets you from blank page to a printed kneeboard in under an hour.

Markdown-native editor

Type your checklist the way pilots think: items, values, sections. The preview updates as you type, and we handle pagination, columns and crop marks.

Letter and 6×9 kneeboard PDF

Print on standard 8.5×11 or switch to a kneeboard-ready 6×9 layout with dotted trim lines. Same source, two perfectly tuned outputs.

Typography that survives the cockpit

Curated fonts at sizes tested on a yoke at altitude. Bold ALL CAPS for emergency items, condensed sans for dense normal procedures.

Your colors, your branding

Match your flight school colors, add a tail-number watermark, drop in your logo. Premium plans unlock unlimited color and font combinations.

Group editing for flight schools

Share a single source of truth across instructors and aircraft. Update once, every kneeboard reprints with the new revision.

Community library

Browse hundreds of checklists for the most common GA aircraft — Cessna 172, Piper PA-28, Cirrus SR22, Robinson R44 — and fork any of them as a starting point.
