Electronic Checklists
I'm gathering information about Electronic Checklists. They seem to be very underutilized still in the cockpit.
Electronic Checklists are a great tool, especially in a single pilot operation. We use them in all of our aircraft and I feel like they greatly improve out checklist usage.

Thanks for any and all input!

- Who uses them and in what aircraft type and/or avionics package? Manufacturer's checklist or something custom?
- Who has them available but doesn't use them? Same questions as above (type? avionics?) also, why not?

Back in my corporate days, we used one that was integrated in the MFD on a Citation XLS. We found it cumbersome and distracting. You were "heads down" with a finger on a button clicking "next". Hated it.
Putting it on an iPad seems like a better idea, especially if it's the type where you could click off what was completed-no more "Did we complete the approach checklist?"
In the end, I'm with GeeWizzDriver and T'world. Paper checklist is failsafe. There's a reason every major US airline (and most international carriers) still use paper.

That’s all we use, and have used for years. Gulfstream G280 and G650. Both of them are the manufacturer ECLs. They’re up on the DUs, and with the CCD, it’s considered heads up. We also have redundancy with 2 iPads. The G280 is the Rockwell Collins Proline Fusion avionics suite, while the G650 is the Honeywell Primus Epic.
