Cumulus Preflight Settings - Checklist

Checklist

Here you can define a checklist, which could help you during your flight preparation and that you don't forget important points. The checklist is located in the data directory of Cumulus and carry the name cumulus-checklist.txt. This file is a simple text file and can also be created outside of Cumulus, e.g on your PC. From the PC you can copy the file onto your PDA, maybe via USB. If you use special characters or umlauts, please ensure, that they all are UTF-8 encoded.

The checklist menu page supports also the creation and modification of checklist entries with the help of the right placed buttons.

When the checklist is opened, you can see at the left side of every check entry a question mark icon. If you have finished the check at a line you can tip at the question mark icon to change it to an OK icon. So you can see, which checks have been passed successfully.

Note! If the checklist is opened, all icons are set to question marks.
