What are the pro's and con's; electronic generic checklist versus company written published pilots checklist adapted to company SOPs.
This one depends a lot on the type of operation you look at.
Owner pilots that fly once every two month are prob better of following manufacturer CL whereas the every day charter pilots could prob. receive a tailored CL that is adjusted to the companies needs in creating efficient procedures.
Manufacturer CL (at least the ones I know) are usually written for the pilot that flies once every two month.
Regarding electronic CL: If an aircraft has that feature, then it can be adjusted - maintenance knows, usually done via the same port as nav updates.
