# 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](https://docs.inspiredflight.com/inspired-documentation/products/inspired-suite/elevate/how-to/authorizing-pilots-to-fly-an-aircraft).
{% 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

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;
