From: "Roger Allison-Jones." I made up an emergency checklist of my own, for my M20K, which may be useful as a starting point for you. The new POHs are FAR superior to the old ones. I think it might be worthwhile for you to beg, borrow or steal a POH for, say, a 201 and adapt it for your own aircraft. If you have Microsoft Publisher (tell me which version) I could send you my full checklist and emergency checklist in that format. I also have all the interior placards in Publisher format if anyone is interested.
