SYSTEM OVERVIEW
ELECTRONIC CHECKLISTS (OPTIONAL)
NOTE: The checklists presented in this section are for example only and may not reflect checklists actually
available for the Diamond DA40/40F. The information described in this section is not intended to replace
the checklist information described in the AFM or the Pilot Safety and Warning Supplements document.
NOTE: Garmin is not responsible for the content of checklists. User-defined checklists are created by the
aircraft manufacturer. Modifications or updates to the checklists are coordinated through the aircraft
manufacturer. The user cannot edit these checklists.
NOTE: Checklists cannot be edited from within the system. Refer to the Garmin Aviation Checklist Editor
(ACE) User’s Guide for information on creating and editing checklists.
The MFD is able to display optional electronic checklists, customized for the Diamond DA40/40F, which
allow a pilot to quickly find the proper procedure on the ground and during each phase of flight. The G1000
accesses the checklists from an SD card inserted into the bezel slot (see Figure 1-3). If the SD card contains
a valid checklist file, the power-up splash screen displays both the aircraft make and model to which the
checklist applies (e.g., DA40, Diamond Aircraft Industries) and copyright information. If the SD card contains
an invalid checklist file or no checklist, the Checklist Page displays ‘INVALID CHECKLIST’ or ‘CHECKLIST
NOT PRESENT’ and the CHKLIST Softkey is greyed out.
