Checklist when using PFD/Map split page

Post by JimB »

When using a single Sport EX in split page mode, PFD and MAP, it appears the Checklist feature is not available. Is that the case? Can it be made available?

Thanks

The EX doesn't have a split page checklist mode and the only way to access the checklist is through the full screen map menu.

Jeff,

I think that it would be really nice (IF FEASIBLE) to have "CHECKLISTS" as a FULL PAGE on a MINI and as a SPLIT PAGE on the EX **and** 10.1 (well, HXr as well).

The reason is that when you are flying, you may want to access an IFR APPROACH checklist to make sure that you are setting things up right. You may wish to access "CRUISE, DESCENT, and LANDING Checklists". All of these are cases where you need to still see at least the PFD.

While the INSETS are nice, on the 10.1, the older eyes have a bit more trouble reading this, especially during what might be a tense portion of flight.

This is not about changing the CHECKLIST function (although some improvements could be made when compared to what the competitors have), this is about making what you have ALREADY done more accessible throughout the flight regime.

Along with all the other things that you are doing, please keep this on the consideration list.
