'''Aircraft Checklists'''
Aircraft typically have a large number of checklists, covering almost every phase of flight.  Previously, aircraft authors have added checklists to the help text for the aircraft.  This is a bit unwieldy.  To improve matters, there is now an Aircraft Checklists dialog under the Help menu specifically designed to organize and display checklists.  Aircraft authors can create new checklists easily without having to worry about how they will be displayed.  See [[Aircraft Checklists]] for details.
