Before creating your checklist, it is strongly recommended that you download a checklist as a template and then make modifications based on it.

Go to https://web.simflypad.app , after setting the name, author, and unique ID, click the Save button to save the content to a csv file.

About the format of the CSV template file.

Column Headers

  • template_version: A version for this template file. Currently, it should be v0.1.

  • Name: The name of this checklist file (e.g. A321 Neo)

  • from: The checklist source you collected from.

  • stage & stage_section & item & item_objective & item_note: Combine to describe each line of your checklist.

  • ident: Setting “Y” indicates this item needs to be indented.

item_content & item_check

item_note

Or can be used as a single row.
