Transcribed from Yorkshire Aviation Academy PA28-161 Checklist V2.03 (page ). Refer to the aircraft POH. 📍 hints are generic PA-28 aids, not from the checklist — confirm on G-BORL. Keys: Space/→ check · ← undo · R repeat.
Fill-ins
Schematic, not to scale — works with no signal.
Satellite view numbered points = where to make each call
Esri World Imagery (needs signal first time; cached after). Circuit line computed from the ARP, runway 274°T, ~1 nm spacing — illustrative only.
Call points
Numbered points are COMPUTED (illustrative, ~1 nm from the runway). Tall Tower is the Pooleys VRP. Fly the circuit ATC gives you.

Go / No-go your personal minimums vs EGNH METAR
Blank = not checked. Crosswind default 17 kt = YAA max demonstrated (not a limit). CAUTION = within 20% of a limit (technique). Ceiling = lowest BKN/OVC/VV.
PLOG
Tracks from coordinates (great circle, initial). Burn 8 USG/h (YAA). Legal night = sunset +30 min to sunrise −30 min (UK ANO 2016 Sch 1), NOAA sun maths. Route points beyond Pooleys VRPs are from v1, UNVERIFIED.
Fuel USG · 8 USG/h
Reserves: CAA SafetySense 05 — minimum final reserve 30 min day, 45 min night, 10 min day local in sight of the aerodrome (Auto = 45 if the ETA is in legal night). Usable 48 USG, tabs 34 USG, 3.785 L/USG. Taxi allowance is technique. Endurance goes to the PAD for the book-out call. Live remaining burns from off-blocks.
Crosswind — RWY 28 / 10
METAR wind is TRUE; runway QDM is MAGNETIC — converted with the variation above. Default 0°: WMM2025 gives ≈0° at EGNH for 2026 (editable).
E6B
Wind = air vector (HDG/TAS) minus ground vector (TRK/GS). TAS = IAS/√σ (ISA). GPS track is TRUE.
Mass & Balance kg / m, YAA sheet arms
| Mass kg | Arm m | Moment |
|---|
Arms from YAA checklist p2. Empty mass 683.2 kg @ 2.220 m, MTOW 1055 kg and the CG envelope (fwd 2.110 m → 2.210 m @ 1055 kg, aft 2.360 m) come from your SkyDemon G-BORL profile — check them against the current weight & balance schedule.
Performance PA / DA · SafetySense 07
Read the distance from G-BORL's POH chart, then tick only the factors that chart doesn't already include. Factors multiply (CAA SafetySense 07). Elevation and runway length fill from airports.js for the take-off (departure) or landing (destination) field — both editable. PA from QNH via ISA; DA exact (rule of thumb shown).
Auto flight logger
Off-blocks >3 kt (5 s) · Takeoff >45 kt (3 s) · Touchdown <40 kt (5 s) · On-blocks <1 kt for 60 s. GPS ground speed — start GPS on the Map tab. Fuel = block time × 8.0 USG/h. "New flight" saves this one and resets all checklists.

UK Part-FCL FCL.060(b)(1): 3 take-offs and landings in the preceding 90 days in the same type/class to carry passengers. Counts only flights saved here with “New flight” — your logbook is the record. Night (FCL.060(b)(2)) not tracked.
