Qref Aviation Checklists

Qref aircraft checklists: model-specific procedures in a flip book or card

Qref builds aircraft-specific procedure checklists for general aviation, organized by phase of flight and printed on durable, erasable stock you can write on in the cockpit. Whether you fly a Cessna, Piper, Beechcraft, Cirrus, or a glass-panel trainer, there is a Qref reference matched to your exact make, model, and year so the steps line up with your POH.

Flip book or quick-reference card?

Qref comes in two formats. The flip book devotes a page to each phase of flight, so it is easy to follow step by step, a good fit for students and renters, like the Cessna 172 Skyhawk flip book or the Piper Cherokee 180 flip book. The card condenses the same procedures onto a compact, fast-scan reference, like the Cessna 182P Skylane card. Flying behind a glass panel? Choose the avionics-specific version, such as the Cessna 172S G1000 flip book.

What Qref checklists cover

Each Qref reference walks the normal procedures for every phase, preflight, start, runup, takeoff, cruise, descent, and shutdown, plus a clearly tabbed emergency section for engine, fire, and electrical abnormals so you can find the right response fast when workload is high.

How to choose your Qref checklist

• Match your aircraft: pick the make, model, and year that mirrors your POH.
• Steam vs glass: choose the standard or the avionics-specific (G1000) version to match your panel.
• Book vs card: a flip book is easier to follow step by step; a card is faster once you know the flows.
• Round out the cockpit: pair it with a kneeboard to keep it in reach.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Qref checklist?

A Qref checklist is an aircraft-specific procedures reference, sold as a tabbed flip book or a quick-reference card, that lists the manufacturer's normal and emergency steps for a particular make, model, and year.

What is the difference between the Qref book and the Qref card?

The book uses a page per phase of flight for step-by-step use, while the card condenses the same normal and emergency procedures onto a single compact reference for fast scanning. Both are aircraft-specific.

Do I need the G1000 version?

If your aircraft has a Garmin G1000 or other integrated glass panel, choose the avionics-specific Qref so the procedures match your displays. For traditional steam-gauge panels, use the standard version for your model.
