Checklist Templates¶
Checklist templates define the library of pre-flight and post-flight tasks available to missions. When a mission is created, the relevant template items are seeded into the mission's checklist based on trigger conditions.
Viewing templates¶
Admin → Checklist Templates lists all active templates grouped by phase:
- Pre-flight — tasks completed before the flight (28 days, 7 days, 24 hours, day of flight)
- Post-flight — tasks completed after the flight
- Risk assessment — items in the risk management register
- Site evaluation — site-specific assessment tasks
Adding a template¶
Click Add Template:
| Field | Notes |
|---|---|
| Name | Short task description shown in the checklist |
| Phase | Pre-flight, Post-flight, Risk Assessment, or Site Evaluation |
| Lead time | When the task is due: 28 days, 7 days, 24 hours, day of flight, or post-flight |
| Description | Longer explanation of what the task involves |
| Is mandatory | If ticked, always included; if unticked, only shown when a trigger fires |
| Trigger conditions | Conditions that activate this item (leave blank for mandatory items) |
| Is active | Untick to disable the template without deleting it |
Trigger conditions¶
Like the risk library, checklist items can be conditionally shown based on operation context. Common triggers:
| Trigger | Example item |
|---|---|
near_aerodrome |
"Contact ATC or aerodrome operator" |
bvlos |
"Confirm BVLOS authorisation is in place" |
protected_area |
"Check nature reserve access restrictions" |
over_water |
"Confirm ditching/recovery plan" |
Promoting user-created items¶
Pilots can add ad-hoc checklist items to individual missions. If an ad-hoc item is generally useful, a pilot can flag it for promotion to the template library. Promoted items appear in the Admin panel under a Promoted Items tab for review and addition to the library.
Editing and disabling templates¶
Click Edit next to any template to change its content or trigger conditions. To temporarily disable a template without removing it from the library, untick Is active and save. Active missions that already have this item seeded are not affected — only future missions will omit it.
