Controls Free and Correct...Check - Checklists

For any good pilot a checklist is essential to safe and responsible flight. The checklist can be from memory or the preferred method - a printed checklists that you use the same way each and every time. A couple years ago I came across a checklist product that I really liked. The quality was great, the design had some thought, and the extras were there as well. I'm talking about SureCheck Aviation' 'Full' checklists. These checklists are type specific and contain amplified procedures for your aircraft as well as info to help you remember simple calc's, V-Speeds, weights, formulas, you name it! They are laminated, tabbed, and spiral bound. I really like them for a backup or for a low-time pilot - however, as you gain experience I have found that I might have too much information there (they do make a simple double sided card to referred to as there 'Pro' checklists). After constant use, my lamination started to fray where the sheets were die-cut and probably should have been die-cut, laminated, and die-cut again at a slightly larger size. I also lost my back page from the spiral binding due to heavy-use. The great news is that the checklists have a lifetime warranty - so I was able to exchange my worn out checklists at AirVenture at no cost! I guess they have over 300 different aircraft models too.
