Context

N720AK checklists are managed through a specific sync workflow:

Canonical source: https://rdamazio.github.io/efis-editor/checklists#N720AK

Files in repo:

• N720AK.json — Checklist data exported from EFIS Editor
• sections/04-emergency.md — GENERATED from JSON (emergency procedures)
• sections/04b-abnormal.md — GENERATED from JSON (abnormal procedures)
• sections/05-normal.md — GENERATED from JSON (normal procedures)

IMPORTANT: Sections 04, 04b, and 05 are GENERATED — never edit them directly.

Steps

1. Read N720AK.json to understand current checklist structure
2. Identify which checklist the user wants to change (emergency, abnormal, or normal)
3. Make the change in N720AK.json — add, remove, or modify checklist items
4. Regenerate the markdown by running:

   python3 json_to_markdown.py N720AK.json
   

5. Verify the output — read the regenerated markdown to confirm it looks right
6. Remind the user about the full sync workflow:
   • Upload the updated JSON back to EFIS Editor (manual step)
   • Export to Dynon (.txt) for the Skyview HDX
   • Export to ForeFlight (.fmd) for the EFB
   • The POH HTML/PDF will update automatically on next build

Checklist Item Format in JSON

Refer to the existing N720AK.json for the exact schema. Items typically have:

• Title/name
• Type (challenge-response, note, caution, warning)
• Steps with expected responses
