[JP Pasaylo]

Hi,

I am a new pilot of Mavic Air. Anyone would care to share their flight checklist?

Big thanks!

Hello JP. Welcome. For common questions, you can likely find your answers by searching the forum for previous posts. Here are a few on checklists:

Flight Checklist

Everyone probably has their own person list of things to do before flight, but I recently care up with 123 different things in one list, covering the day before, before, during, after, and the day after flight. I thought you lot would find it interesting

Flight Checklist

Hey all, just wanted to share my flight checklist with any who are interested. I know there are a few of these out there, but I'm sure someone would like a pdf version. I hit "Add to home screen" and placed it in the "drone" folder on my iPhone so it's quickly accessible. Hope the checklist...

Pre Flight Checks

There are a number more as well. My personal advice - make sure any checklist you create includes confirming your aircraft is pointing in the direction indicated on the map after your home location is created. You can find multiple threads on this as the best way to confirm you don't have interference and avoid a flyaway.

I use a Check list for my Mavic, a app I down loaded from app store for my I pad called ( (Drone Flight Check List) )

It has a Pre Flight Check list (at base), Pre FlightCheck list (in Field) Takeoff Procedure, After takeoff procedure,

After Landing check list, And Emergency procedure. Very help full, all available with just a click of a button.

Welcome fr0m Chicago, Blue Skies and safe flying. The check list will help you to fly safe.

@SpitFire , would you please confirm: I search apple store and the only thing close is called 'Drone Pre Flight Checklist'. Logo is a white square with blue border, Pre and a big checkmark all in blue. Is that the one you like? If so, maybe it's iPad only or something. App has one review - with one star - saying it used to work and now only brings up a blank screen. I got it and this is my experience as well in a iPhone 8 - loads then blank screen.

My check list Icon has a Red back ground, with a camera in the center. And, you may be correct, that it only works with apple devices. Does say ( Drone Flight Check list) I still use mine before every flight. Any body else confirm
why it not working with other devices?

It’s actually called “Drone Preflight” by PixelSoft Films and is working fine on my iPhone 10R.

You can print out their standard check list and then reference it to build your own custom list. Not too bad.
