The first of its kind, the IFR CheckMate® offers both vital primary IFR information and less used, but just as essential, secondary information when flying in IMC weather conditions.
In the IFR environment organization and management lead to smoother, stress-free and safer outcomes. IFR CheckMate® will assist you through preflight planning to touch-down on the IFR flight. Whether you are cleared for the complete approach or radar vectored to the FAF, IFR CheckMate® format will help keep the flight business orderly and functional. It is precise and specific to the different phases of those sometimes precarious flights. You will be reminded when to prepare and look ahead to each phase.
A quick review of IFR CheckMate® before flight will help you determine pilot and aircraft preparedness and legalities, how to give those greatly appreciated pilot reports on icing and turbulence, and what ATC expects you to do after radio failure; professional information in a concise and orderly manner.
The major topics include: Initial Prep, Required Equipment, Cockpit Prep, After Start, During Taxi, During Runup, Takeoff, Climb, Cruise, Descent, Holding, Approach Prep, IAF, Procedure Turn, FAF, Missed Approach, FAA Flight Plan, Equipment Suffixes, Pireps, Holding Entries Diagram, Inspections Required, Alternate Airport Requirements, IFR Alternate Airport Weather Minimums, Two-Way Radio Communications,.......and more.

Best priced around great and speedy service!
Also is the better of the 2 options since it is rated at 5,000 psi, not that I go to that high of pressure but I like the safety and security knowing that my chances of it blowing up in my face are a whole lot better and I can also purchase replacement seals for them at the same shop!!!
I bought the DC PTT because I know and trust the DC quality/durability to hold up to using every day. And so far it’s the best PTT I’ve used. I have a couple other no-name PTTs and the cable sheathing is crumbling and falling off. The DC PTT has worked even in sub zero cabin temp conditions when I didn’t have a functioning heater. I bought two to have a spare but the first one has been working great for 300hrs so far.
