The checklist .cfg file specifies the checklists for different stages of flight, from takeoff to landing. Each numbered section of the file represents a specific checklist. You can use checklists for other purposes, too. For example, you can use a checklist to create a flight log or to specify instructions for a flying lesson. The following example shows the contents of a checklist .cfg file.

[0]
0=Check flight controls.
1=Release brakes (Period [.]).
2=Smoothly increase throttle to full power (F3).
3=At about 60 knots, ease back on the stick and then relax the back pressure.
4=Adjust pitch attitude to climb at 80-90 knots.
5=Retract landing gear (G).
[1]
0=Establish level flight.
1=Set throttle at about 23 in. manifold pressure (F2 or F3) and prop at 2100-2400 RPM (CTRL+F2 or CTRL+F3).
2=Adjust elevator trim (NUMPAD 7 = nose down, NUMPAD 1 = nose up).
[2]
0=Reduce power to about 15 in. of manifold pressure (F2).
1=Relax pressure on the controls and the airplane will descend.
2=To level off, increase power to original cruise setting (F3).
[3]
0=Set power at about 15 in. of manifold pressure (F2 or F3).
1=Check landing gear down (G).
2=At airspeed less than 95 knots, set flaps at 10 degrees (F7).
3=Continue descent. Set flaps at 20-30 degrees (F7).
4=Adjust pitch attitude to maintain 65-75 knots.
5=Smoothly increase or decrease throttle to adjust descent rate (F2 or F3).
6=Over runway, establish slight nose-up attitude. Reduce throttle to idle (F2).
