CheckMate® AVIATION CHECKLISTS

Why are aviation checklists so illogical? Why are most single-page checklists so incomplete? And why has no one developed a standardized system for more than just a few profitable aircraft models? Well, over 10 years ago, CheckMate Aviation, Inc. asked those same questions and developed the CheckMate®!

CheckMate® is a “full-data”, plastic, single-card, and color coded checklist. By far, it has the most complete data on any single-card you will find anywhere on the market. CheckMate® has all the steps needed to fly the airplane and includes emergency procedures and other misc. data. Because it is a single plastic card, there is no flipping for data! You get all the information on one card and the text is concise in phraseology, intuitive, logical, and complete.

CheckMate® is available for over 275 models of aircraft including: Cessna, Piper, Beechcraft, Cirrus, Mooney, Commander, Diamond, Grumman, Socata, Maule Bellance, Alarus, Zenith, and Aviat.

CheckMate® makes a dramatic difference in everyday confidence and ease of use, but also in urgent situations. Whether it’s an engine failure, icing problems, gear trouble, an electrical or engine fire, or a radio out problem, the emergency procedures are immediately there.

CheckMate® is also consistent in format. Whether you are flying a Cessna 140, a Piper Mirage, or a Beechcraft Baron, the data is exactly where you expect it to be. You have a graphical checklist that is the identical format for each plane you fly. Transitioning from one plane to another is dramatically easier. An essential safety consideration for flying proficiency!

The plastic substrate eliminates the problem of delamination inherent in laminated paper products. There is a 100% Lifetime Guarantee! CheckMate® also eliminates the flipping of pages to search for needed data for each phase of every flight. (You will also find there is no annoying “Refer to POH” common in other checklists). Every word is justified and every word is exact.

Features of the CheckMate®:

- The most comprehensive V speed section in the industry

- Everything on one card – no pages to flip

- Dedicated departure, cruise, & arrival section

- Fuel, oil, electrical, tire, & weight information

- Important comm. frequencies and light signals

- Linear scale for measuring WAS, SEC, TAC, MOS, EIA, & JEPPESEN mileage distances

CheckMate Aviation, Inc. is honored that national and international articles have been written applauding their company’s efforts. They have received flattering recognition from The AOPA Air Safety Foundation, as well as aviation safety programs across the U.S. CheckMate® is the most endorsed checklist system in aviation and was also selected as the official checklist of one of the most prestigious training programs in the country, the Bonanza/Baron Pilot Proficiency Program, a subsidiary of the American Bonanza Society. They have received the “Flight Safety Award” from the FAA and The Civil Air Patrol has chosen CheckMate® as the official checklist to be used in all mission aircraft.

“After 50 years in aviation, I can honestly say that the CheckMate Checklists are the very best I have ever flown with. This is a quality product that should be included in every pilot’s flight kit regardless of his or her experience.” - Raul H. Diaz, FAA Aviation Safety Inspector-Operation (retired).

At a cost equal to just a few minutes of flying, it makes sense for every pilot to have such an efficient system in every plane they fly! Retail prices range from $9 to $17. Whether you are a flight school or pilot shop, CheckMate® checklist cards are a “must have” item to offer to your students or customers!
