Cirrus Design this week introduced a safety checklist that's available on Cirrus airplanes' multifunction displays.

Do you think an electronic checklist that focuses on judgment is a good idea, and will it really help improve aviation safety?

YES, it's a good idea: It will help improve safety since it ensures pilots consider all aspects of a flight.
YES, it's a good idea in theory, but its effectiveness could become diluted after it becomes just another MFD screen for the pilot to scroll through.
NO, it's not a good idea since it clutters the avionics system displays. Most pilots will quickly scroll past the checklist without looking at it to get to the page they really want.
