(OPTIONAL)
The G1000 Multi Function Display installed in the
Tiger AG-5B provides optional checklists which allow a
pilot to quickly find the proper procedure on the ground
and during each phase of flight.
NOTE: The checklist information described in this
section is not intended to replace the checklist
information described in the Tiger AG-5B Pilot’s
Operating Handbook (POH) and the Pilot Safety
and Warning Supplements document.
NOTE: Garmin is not responsible for the content
of the checklists. User-defined checklists are cre-
ated by the aircraft manufacturer. Additionally,
modifications or updates to the checklists are
coordinated through the aircraft manufacturer.
The user cannot edit the checklists.

that is installed for the Tiger AG-5B aircraft. If no checklist

“CHECKLIST FILE NOT PRESENT” and the CHKLIST
softkey is greyed out.
