M4 Checklist
New owner of serial number 84 looking for a good checklist. I can make my own if need be, but it would be nice to have a starting point or even just take advantage of someone else's work if there's already a good one out there.

I think you can find a checklist on the Maule Air site under support flight manuals.
I haven't done any primary training in years but what we do now are flows followed with a checklist to verify all the big stuff is done. You need to see what the local DPE is looking for. Flows work well In that you look at a lot of stuff but only "check" the major items. Start in the same place in the cockpit and check every switch instrument radio and control is in place and do it in the same order every time. Some of that will vary with phase of flight ie before start or before takeoff /landing. I do remember new students getting buried in a checklist and not flying the plane so I would like to keep them simple early on. My grandkids read the checklist after my flow so that gives you a sense of what I mean . Good luck and the kiss method works.

Last year I worked with Rich Lang (owner) at checkmate aviation on a custom checklist for my MX-7-180C. He did a fantastic job and even used mine as a template for further Maule collections. I'm not certain if he has an M-4 checklist but he is an exceptional guy to work with and very accommodating.
The checkmate checklist are used by a slew of flight schools and are really well laid out and include emergency procedures, all the V speeds, common frequencies and much more useful information.
I have found myself several times overlooking things going through my "in my head" checklist then catch it when I go back over the checkmate checklist.

I cant help but wonder about the recent Maule crash that flew into a bridge on takeoff. He allegedly tried to take off with -7 flaps... A checklist might've prevented that.

Henderson State uses Maules for their pilot training. Here's their website that includes checklists and maneuvers and other flight related manuals.

Re: M4 Checklist
Bringing this post back from the dead, but someone recently posted on the facebook group asking for M4 checklist so I thought I would also repost this here.
Here's the excel file with the checklists I made for my M4-210, based on what I received from the previous owner and some additions. This doesn't include emergency checklists, which I still plan to make. This prints up into 8"x5" cards which you can then laminate. (Note: starting procedures and other procedures may vary - change it up to suit your needs) https://www.dropbox.com/s/n6pxdv09rk259 ... .xlsx?dl=0
I'm also always picking up new ideas and changes to mine, based on what I've seen in other's posts. Very handy seeing all the different versions.
