My (editable) Checklist(s)

[Helios]

I started customizing some checklists for my own use, and I thought I might as well share some of them here in case anyone finds them useful - currently a Cold Start Checklist. In particular I wanted 1-page checklists with two levels of information (so only need to read 2nd level when necessary), in a format that can be easily edited and customized.

 

The checklist has a mind map format and was created with the open source FreeMind software. If you don't like my PDF version, you can install FreeMind and roll your own based on my source file. Note you (probably) need to rename the ".txt" source file to ".mm" extension before opening (had to rename due to forum restrictions on file extensions). Also note FreeMind is not very clever when it comes to printing, so you need to manually set a zoom level which works with print output. You can hide/show branches by clicking on them, e.g. I have chosen to hide the details of "configure laser codes" in my PDF, however if you click on it (in FreeMind) there are some more instructions behind it.

 

I built the cold start check list straight off WarriorX' checklist, so all credits for checklist content goes entirely to him, however I take credit for any errors I might have added ;-)

 

Hopefully this checklist is helpful for others the forum - if not then apologies for wasting your time, but at least you got the above link to the checklist which was used for input, which is known to be quality stuff :-)

 

Edit: Uploaded v0.2 after fixing some embarassing omissions which I discovered when I actually beta tested my own list - don't know how I managed to delete "APU Start" which was there at some point in v0.1.

 

Note that this list is probably not the best one to use for a first-time startup, as it is nowhere near as instructive and easy-to-read as the WarriorX checklist that was used for input. It is intended more as a condensed format reference and mental map for someone who is familiar with all the steps.
