Appendix J: Checklists
30-8 SkyView System Installation Guide - Revision AA
Once loaded onto one SkyView display, a Checklist is synchronized to all other SkyView displays
and the Checklist can be displayed on any, or all, of the SkyView displays.
Troubleshooting Your Checklist File
Ensure that your SkyView system has been updated to Software v14.0 (or later); support for
Checklists was added in Software v14.0.
For troubleshooting a Checklist, use of Software v14.1 is recommended as that version will
display the line numbers of any errors encountered (as shown in Figure 235).
If you have a complex checklist, use of a text editor that displays line numbers is recommended.
The most common problem with Checklist files not loading correctly onto a SkyView display is
that the Checklist file was not saved using “UTF-8 Character Encoding”. If your Checklist file will
not load, try opening it and re-saving it in Windows Notepad or Mac OS TextEdit using the
procedure shown above – Saving Your Checklist with “UTF-8 Character Encoding”, and see
Figure 233 – Windows Notepad Save As with UTF-8 Encoding, or Figure 232, Figure 233, and
Figure 234 above for Mac OS TextEdit.
If your Checklist will still not load, then, check that each section (each individual Checklist)
begins with the same CHECKLIST(number). Example:
CHKLST0.TITLE, PRE-FLIGHT
CHKLST0.LINE1,
CHKLST0.LINE2, BUILD YOUR CHECKLIST HERE
is correct.
CHKLST0.TITLE, PRE-FLIGHT
CHKLST0.LINE1,
CHKLST1.LINE2, BUILD YOUR CHECKLIST HERE
is not correct (Checklist numbers do not match).
Also, check that each Checklist item) has a correct, sequential number. Example:
CHKLST0.TITLE, PRE-FLIGHT
CHKLST0.LINE1
CHKLST0.LINE2, BUILD YOUR CHECKLIST HERE
is correct.
CHKLST0.TITLE, PRE-FLIGHT
CHKLST0.LINE1,
CHKLST0.LINE1, BUILD YOUR CHECKLIST HERE
is not correct (there are two CHKLST0.LINE1 lines; second should be CHKLST0.LINE2).
If you cannot get your Checklist file to load (“FILE HAS ERROR” screen), you can isolate where
the problem is in your Checklist file by “commenting out” individual lines, or entire sections, by
prepending the line with a # and a space character. Example:
# CHKLST0.TITLE, PRE-FLIGHT
A future version of SkyView Software will enhance the error message shown in Figure 235
above to display the line number where an error is encountered.
Lines that begin with # will not be processed / checked when the Checklist file is loaded.
Admittedly this will be tedious if your SkyView display is in your aircraft and your computer is at
