# Using Preflight Checklists

{% hint style="info" %}
This process works the same for both Fleet Manager & Pilot, as long as you're [authorized to fly the aircraft](/inspired-documentation/products/inspired-suite/elevate/how-to/authorizing-pilots-to-fly-an-aircraft.md).
{% endhint %}

#### To access the Preflight Checklists, you can either:

* click on an aircraft while under the aircraft tab, and then click the Preflight Checklist button on the right-hand side of the page

* or, you can click on the Preflight tab from the left navigation bar

Both options will bring you to the Preflight Checklists page, where you can see the checklists for each aircraft in your fleet.

From here, choose which aircraft you want to complete a preflight checklist for. Once everything has been checked off, press complete.

A popup will show notifying you that the checklist has been completed. Hit close, and you'll be taken to the aircrafts 'profile' page.

Your completed checklist will show up in the 'New Notes' tab, where you can click on it to view the details. To view the entire completed checklist, hit the blue lit up 'Checklist' keyword inside the popup.

{% hint style="info" %}
Preflight checklist records are evergreen, meaning they cannot be edited or deleted after the fact. This gives your team a reliable record of what preflight checklist items were completed, when, and by whom. &#x20;

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.inspiredflight.com/inspired-documentation/products/inspired-suite/elevate/how-to/using-preflight-checklists.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
