App snapshot

C172 Checklist Scratchpad is a productivity tool built for pilots who fly Cessna 172s on iPhone and iPad. It provides structured procedures for every phase of flight and a quick-entry notes area that helps capture weather and dispatch details while airborne.

Tailorable procedure sets

  • Editable lists cover all flight stages — preflight walkarounds, normal operations, and emergency procedures.
  • Pilots can add, remove, or revise checklist items so the sequences match their personal workflow and aircraft configuration.
  • Designed to make routine flows consistent and to reduce the need to memorize minor items.

Notes and onboard weather reporting

  • An integrated scratchpad lets you jot down ATIS reports, weather observations, clearance instructions, and other flight-specific notes with fingertip input.
  • The built‑in ATIS recorder makes it simple to store current weather conditions for later reference, improving situational awareness during taxi, takeoff, and cruise.

Touch protection and in-flight usability

  • A safeguard prevents accidental taps, so critical phases of flight aren’t disrupted by unintended screen presses.
  • The interface is optimized for quick entry and minimal distraction, suitable for use during brief downtime in the cockpit.

Platform compatibility

  • Available for both iPhone and iPad, with layouts adapted for each device size.
  • Syncing and usability are optimized for iOS devices commonly used by general aviation pilots.
