On this page
Custom checklists I developed for flying the Cirrus SR22TN, covering all phases of flight from cockpit setup through shutdown, IFR approach procedures, and pre-flight planning.
Cirrus SR22TN Main Checklist
A condensed checklist covering every phase of flight in the Cirrus SR22TN - from cockpit preparation, engine start, taxi, takeoff, approach, landing, through to parking and shutdown. Includes a quick-reference speed table and emergency procedures.
IFR Approach Checklist
A structured approach reference for both precision (ILS) and non-precision (RNAV/GPS, VOR) approaches. Covers the full sequence from expected approach through final intercept, glideslope/descent, minimums, missed approach, and after-landing actions. Includes SID and VFR/Z flight plan departure briefings.
For a PDF or spreadsheet version of these checklists, feel free to contact me.
