I have a 1973 six-300. I bought a laminated checklist for it but it is way too busy. So I am asking for a peek at yours.

Just to be clear looking for a look at your pa32-300 checklist.

Things I am not looking for

  • Advice/commentary/guidance about using or not using checklists.
  • Advice/commentary/guidance about looking or not looking at someone checklist.
  • I do not care how you did it in the 40's, 50's...etc.
  • Advice/commentary/guidance about a metal landing calculator, please keep it to yourself.
  • I do not think another non-pa32 checklist will help.
  • Advice/commentary/guidance about whether another model checklist will help.

Thanks.
