Normal Checklist
The Normal Checklist is structured according to GAMA specifications and includes various preflight and operational checks. Key items include checking aircraft papers, removing the pitot cover, ensuring flight controls are free, and verifying circuit breakers. The checklist also covers engine start procedures, taxiing, takeoff, and landing checks, ensuring all necessary steps are followed for safe flight operations.
Emergency Checklist
The Emergency Checklist provides procedures for various emergency scenarios, including engine failure, electrical failure, and smoke/fire situations. It outlines specific actions to take, such as adjusting airspeed, informing ATC, and shutting down the engine if necessary. Each emergency procedure is detailed to guide pilots through critical situations.
Abnormal Checklist
The Abnormal Checklist addresses non-emergency situations that may require special attention, such as low fuel warnings or electrical system issues. It provides guidance on how to respond to caution lights and other abnormal indications, ensuring pilots can manage unexpected situations effectively.
Important Data and Limitations
This section includes critical performance data for the DA40-180, such as operating speeds, weight limits, and fuel consumption rates. For example, the maximum takeoff mass is 1150 kg, with an optional limit of 1200 kg. The checklist also specifies various speeds for different weights, including best glide and stalling speeds.
Safety notes
- Use of the checklist is at the user's sole risk and discretion.
- This checklist does not replace the current approved Airplane Flight Manual.

Checklist für Diamond DA40-180 Diamond Star Edition #: 17 Edition date: 01.03.2015 Please observe: The file you are receiving hereby combines all three sections of the checklist: Normal Checklist, Emergency Checklist and Abnormal Checklist. All pages of a new edition will have the same new “edition #” and “edition date”, even if only one page was amended and all other pages still have the same, unchanged content. Therefore the “List of Effective Pages” (LEP) is provided. It is here where you can see whether a particular page was amended. Pages which have been amended by a new edition will be marked yellow. For all other pages you will see which original “edition #” (and of course any higher “edition #”) is still valid. Note: The system of assigning “Edition #” is as follows: if the revision affects all types, a new edition # (without a decimal figure) will be assigned to all of the checklists if the revision does not affect all types, the affected checklists will get subsequent “decimal figures” until a major revision affecting all checklists is issued. Have a lot of nice flights and happy landings!
