SYSTEM OVERVIEW
1.8 CHECKLISTS (OPTIONAL)
The G1000 MFD is able to display electronic checklists
customized for the Diamond DA40. 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 exits
the Checklist pages and displays the page last viewed.
If the SD card contains a valid checklist file, the Power-
up Page displays both the aircraft make and model to
which the checklist applies (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’.
