Terms of sale and use

Checklist by Flying is Life · in force from 10 November 2026 · section 5 added in version 3.8

1. Who we are

Checklist by Flying is Life is sold by Gavin George, trading as Flying is Life, 8 Cardiff Road, Taffs Well, Cardiff CF15 7RE, United Kingdom. Contact: hello@flyingislife.com.

2. What you are buying

• A licence to use the Checklist by Flying is Life app. It is a one-off purchase. There is no subscription.
• The price is shown before you pay and includes any tax that applies.
• Purchases through this website are available to buyers in the United Kingdom only.
• When your payment goes through you are shown a licence key, and we email a copy to the address you paid with. Keep it: it unlocks the app on your other devices and on this one again if its data is cleared.
• One key works on up to five devices that you yourself own or use. It is for you. You may not sell, publish or share it. A key that is shared may be withdrawn.
• The demo, which needs no key, lets you try a sample checklist before you buy. Nothing done in the demo is saved.

3. Refunds and your right to cancel

• You can ask for a full refund within 14 days of buying, for any reason. Email hello@flyingislife.com from the address you paid with, or tell us the key. We refund to the card you paid with and withdraw the key.
• You ask for the app to be supplied straight away when you buy. We give the 14-day refund above regardless, so you lose nothing by doing so.
• Nothing in these terms affects your legal rights. If the app is faulty or not as described you are entitled to a repair or replacement, or a refund if that cannot be done.

4. Using the app safely

• The app is a memory aid. It is not a certified checklist and it is not approved by any aviation authority or manufacturer.
• Your aircraft's Pilot's Operating Handbook or flight manual is the authority. So are the procedures of your club, school or operator, and the law. Where the app and any of those differ, they are right and the app is wrong.
• You are responsible for every checklist you fly with, whether you wrote it, imported it from a photo or file, were sent it by another pilot, or took it from the Library. Text read from a photo or a PDF can contain mistakes. Check every line.
• Checklists in the Library are written by other pilots and read by Flying is Life before they are published. They are a starting point. Before you fly with one, check each line against your own aircraft's POH or flight manual and change what differs.
• Radio phraseology in the app is a memory aid. CAP 413 is the authority.
• Flight times and positions recorded by the app are for your own reference. They are not a substitute for your logbook, a technical log or any record you are required to keep.
• As pilot in command you remain responsible for the safe conduct of the flight. Do not let the app distract you from flying the aircraft.

5. Sending a checklist to the Library

• You can send a checklist you have written to Flying is Life to be considered for the Library. Sending one does not publish it. We read each one and may accept it, ask you about it, edit it for clarity and consistency, or decline it, at our discretion.
• By sending it you confirm that the wording is your own: it is not copied from a manufacturer's handbook, a club's or school's printed checklist, or anyone else's work, and you are free to share it.
• The checklist stays yours. You give Flying is Life permission to edit it and to publish and distribute it in the Library of the app, which is sold, for as long as it is published, and to credit you by name and qualification, and by company position if you ask for that.
• You are not paid for a checklist you send in.
• You can ask for it to be taken down at any time by emailing hello@flyingislife.com. We will remove it from the Library. Copies other pilots have already added to their own devices stay on those devices.
• Reading a checklist before publishing it is not a guarantee that it is correct or complete for any aircraft. Section 4 applies to every checklist in the Library.

6. Your data

Your checklists, saved runs, flight times and positions are stored on your device and are not sent to us. Keep your own backups using Settings, Back up everything to a file: we cannot recover data that is lost from your device. What we do hold is set out in the privacy policy.

7. What we promise, and what we do not

• We will supply the app with reasonable care and skill, and it will be as described here.
• We do not promise that the app will always be available, that it will work on every device, or that it will be free of errors. We may change, update or withdraw features. If we stop offering the app, the copy on your device keeps working with the data it holds.
• We are not liable for losses that were not caused by our breaking these terms, that were not foreseeable when you bought, or that arise from using the app in place of the documents and judgement described in section 4. If the app is used in the course of a business, we are not liable for loss of profit or business.
• We do not exclude or limit our liability where it would be unlawful to do so. That includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, and for your legal rights as a consumer.

8. The app is ours

The app, its design and its text belong to Flying is Life. Your licence lets you use it; it does not transfer ownership. Checklists you write are yours.

9. Changes and the law

We may update these terms. The version in force when you bought applies to your purchase. These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and you can bring a claim in the courts of the part of the United Kingdom where you live.
