A Pocket Check List (PCL) is a small booklet, which as the name suggests, fits into the pocket of a flight suit. This is a term used by Naval Aviators in the U.S. Navy, and is one of many documents issued as part of Naval Aviation Training and Operating Procedures Standardization (NATOPS).

The PCL serves several purposes, including an emergency information source that does not rely on aircraft power, an alternative to memorization, and an aid to aircrew coordination.
