Editing the Checklist .cfg File

If you want to add a checklist for an aircraft, just edit the checklist .cfg file. The following example adds a checklist, Announcements, to the B737 aircraft. The names of the checklist and the aircraft are placeholders only; this procedure applies to the checklist for any aircraft.

To add a checklist for an aircraft

1. Open B737_400\Boeing737-400_check.cfg.
   
   
2. Add a new entry in the [lists] section.
   <Before editing>
[lists]
0=&Takeoff, Takeoff Checklist
1=&Cruise, Cruise Checklist
2=&Descent, Descent Checklist
3=&Approach, Approach Checklist
4=&Landing, Landing Checklist

<After editing>
[lists]
0=&Takeoff, Takeoff Checklist
1=&Cruise, Cruise Checklist
2=&Descent, Descent Checklist
3=&Approach, Approach Checklist
4=&Landing, Landing Checklist
5=A&nnouncements

   In the preceding example, the & designates that pressing the N key is a shortcut for pointing to Checklists, and then clicking Announcements on the Aircraft menu.
   Important: Checklists must be numbered sequentially; gaps in numbering aren't allowed.
   
   
3. Create a [5] section.
   
   
4. List the checklist items in order, as shown in the following code example.
   [5]
0=Greet passengers.
1=Announce ETA.
2=Announce crusing altitude and weather at destination.
3=Announce landing preparation.
4=Say goodbye to deplaning passengers.
