SYSTEM OVERVIEW

ELECTRONIC CHECKLISTS (OPTIONAL)

NOTE: The checklist information described in this section is not intended to replace the checklist information

described in the Diamond Information Manual and the Pilot Safety and Warning Supplements document.

NOTE: Garmin is not responsible for the content of the 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 the checklists.

The MFD is able to display electronic checklists customized for the Diamond DA42. The G1000 accesses

the checklists from an SD card inserted into the bezel slot (see Figure 1-3). Pressing the CHKLIST Softkey

allows access to all checklists. Pressing the EXIT Softkey or momentarily holding down the CLR Key exits the

Checklist Page and returns to the page last viewed.

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 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. Pressing the EMERGCY Softkey accesses the emergency procedures.

The Checklist Page displays the following:

• Selected procedure group

(number of procedure groups

depends on airframe)

• Selected checklist title

• Selected checklist text:

– Plain text

– Notes, Cautions, and

Warnings

– Challenge/Response pairs

– Challenges with no responses

– Check state of items

– Checklist complete indicator
