 General Can I customize my own checklist after I start using the original manufacturer’s checks? Yes. You can always customize your own checklist. You don’t have to download the checklist we provide you. It is a free service Checklist Technologies offers customers for convenience.  Back to QuestionsDo the checklist units have their own power source? The checklist units run off of aircraft power. They have a four-hour battery backup that recharges itself off of the airplane, so the batteries never have to be changed. The unit also comes with a 110-volt power pack that can be plugged into a wall socket and used for multiple purposes. This feature allows you to try your new checklist in the convenience of your home. Back to QuestionsDoes Checklist Technologies have a portable unit that is easy to use for multiple aircraft? The EC-TSP was created for pilots searching for a talking checklist for use in multiple aircraft. The portable unit has a wireless display that makes it easy to be transferred and used in any aircraft. It is fully customizable, so a unique checklist can be created for each aircraft. Also, the unit’s small size makes it easy to carry in the palm of your hand. Back to QuestionsDoes the checklist work with all makes and models of audio panels? Yes. We have tried to troubleshoot all brands of audio panels. However, if you have a problem, our technician will work with you to remedy the situation. Back to QuestionsHow does the checklist know which procedure to switch to during an emergency or abnormal occurrence? How you program your checklist allows it to use the correct emergency or abnormal occurrence for the stage of flight you’re in. First, you program the normal checks, and then you program your emergency checks in the next column according to the pertaining stage of flight. Back to QuestionsIs the checklist compatible with all general aviation airplanes? Each checklist is entirely customizable. Because you enter your own checks, the unit can be used for any airplane or application. If you perform your own preventative maintenance, you can even load your checks under a custom column so you don’t forget any steps as you’re performing a basic task such as changing the oil. The custom column is designed for miscellaneous items. Back to QuestionsIs there a tech support line for questions? Yes. Our support line is available 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., Monday through Saturday, at (866) 226-7699. Back to QuestionsWhat are the differences between the models? EC-TSP is a portable speech model EC-TS includes both text and speech capabilities EC-APWS is a text to speech model with a built in pressurization warning system Back to QuestionsWhat is the size and weight of the checklist? The EC models are 6.24 inches long, 1.5 inches deep, 2.62 inches high, and weighs .87 pounds. Back to QuestionsWhat is the warranty period for the checklist? Checklist Technologies offers a one year, unconditional warranty that covers everything from manufacturer’s defects to accidental damage. Back to QuestionsWhat would be the benefit of purchasing the panel mount over the external mount? The panel mount and external mount have the same text to speech capabilities. However, the panel mount can be installed to monitor different systems in the aircraft. For example, it can be wired so that when the gear handle is put in the down position, it looks for all the gear to be down and locked. If one gear doesn’t lock, the panel mount will automatically flash a warning and switch directly to the emergency gear extension checklist. Additionally, the panel mount can monitor the oil pressure. If the oil pressure drops below a certain PSI, the panel mount will warn you and switch directly to the loss of oil pressure emergency checklist. Back to QuestionsWhy is an electric and/or a talking checklist better than a written checklist? Electronic checklists are superior to paper checklists because they are compact and can hold more information than paper checklists. A key benefit to the electronic checklist is that it is customizable to your specific needs. You can add all the checks you want including checks that are not in your Pilot Operating Handbook. Back to QuestionsInstallation Is checklist installation complex? Panel mounted models take six to eighteen hours to install properly, depending greatly on the aircraft. After installation, you need to fill out a form 337 and include the STC Checklist Technologies has included. Back to QuestionsSoftware Are new features going to become available for the hardware or software? Yes. Checklist Technologies will give you free software updates in addition to attractive discounts on hardware updates for one year. Back to QuestionsIs the designer software difficult to use? Our software uses the same layout as a Microsoft Excel© spreadsheet. If you are unfamiliar with the program, it is a grid of boxes and you type your checks inside the grid. Back to QuestionsIs there a MAC© version of the software? Presently there is not a MAC version. MAC users are encouraged to email us at paul@checklisttechnologies.com so that your needs can be addressed. Back to QuestionsWhat are the benefits of downloading the factory checklist? Downloading will save you approximately two hours of your time. You only have to add your custom checks into the checklist and upload the new checklist into the unit. Then the checklist is ready for use. Back to QuestionsWhat are the computer requirements for the software? The software requires 7 megabytes of hard drive space, a 486 processor, 4 Megabytes of RAM, and Windows 95 or newer. Back to Questions |
