Garmin G3x Touch Checklist / EFIS Files

[Max Clark]

Hi all,

I'm working through building checklists for my G3x. Hoping someone has been through this and can give me some insights:

- How did you break up your Checklist groups?

- Challenge/response & Challenge items make sense. Curious how you might have used text, title, warning, caution, and note.

- Any general tips/tricks that you can share that will make these easier to use in the plane?

Thanks!

I’d be glad to help out, but it only takes me an hour if you have everything organized in a Word doc and I’d be glad to build you one.

@Max ClarkI have a complete G3X checklist built for my Bravo. I'll try to upload it to the file area of the site. Happy to email it to you. It could simplify your organizing task.

I specifically tailored and condensed my checklists for each phase of flight to fit on one page on the G3X, which limits you to something like 11 lines per page. The emergency procedures I input as written, to include notes, cautions and warnings.

EDIT: I was able to upload it. Here's the direct link

Two online resources I've found for creating checklists:

1. https://github.com/rdamazio/efis-editor web based editor for EFIS files, syncs to Google Drive
2. https://www.flightchecklists.com/ web based editor for paper printouts (nice layouts)

I'm building redundancy from Foreflight. I'm making a laminated paper grab card with emergency procedures (easy to find, grab, and read) and planning on putting the rest into the G3x for reference.

I entered all of my checklists on fly.garmin.com. The interface isn’t bad, but I don’t remember whether they can be exported. I just typed my factory checklists word for word, skipping the bits that are no longer relevant.
