I have this code in typescript file

 function debug_show_removed_flights() {
    if ($('.debug-window #show_removed_flights')[0].checked) {
      $('.fly-schedule-removed_reason').show();
      return $('.fly-schedule-remove').show();
    } else {
      $('.fly-schedule-removed_reason').hide();
      return $('.fly-schedule-remove').hide();
    }
  };

But in this row, I have error.

if ($('.debug-window #show_removed_flights')[0].checked) {

[ts] Property 'checked' does not exist on type 'HTMLElement'.

How I can fix it?

Only HTMLInputElement have the checked property. You can cast your element so it will transpile:

function debug_show_removed_flights() {
    const input = $('.debug-window #show_removed_flights')[0] as HTMLInputElement;
    if (input.checked) {
        $('.fly-schedule-removed_reason').show();
        return $('.fly-schedule-remove').show();
    } else {
        $('.fly-schedule-removed_reason').hide();
        return $('.fly-schedule-remove').hide();
    }
}
