Checklist für Diamond DA 42 Twin Star
Diamond DA42 VI · Normal Procedures
Overview
This document is a comprehensive checklist for the Diamond DA42 Twin Star, specifically designed to assist pilots in conducting normal, emergency, and abnormal procedures. It is organized into three main sections: Normal Checklist, Emergency Checklist, and Abnormal Checklist, each with its own edition number and date. The checklist is intended to streamline operations and ensure safety during flight operations. It is important to note that this checklist does not replace the Airplane Flight Manual and should be used in conjunction with it. The document emphasizes the importance of following the outlined procedures to mitigate risks during flight.

Normal Checklist
The Normal Checklist includes preflight procedures, checks before engine start, engine start procedures, and various checks during flight operations. It outlines specific tasks such as checking fuel quantity, ensuring the gear is down, and verifying that all systems are operational before takeoff.
Emergency Checklist
The Emergency Checklist provides procedures for handling various emergency situations, including engine failure, fire, and electrical issues. It details steps to take during critical phases of flight to ensure the safety of the aircraft and its occupants.
Abnormal Checklist
The Abnormal Checklist addresses non-standard situations that may arise during flight. It offers guidance on how to respond to issues that do not constitute an emergency but still require attention to maintain safe operations.
Important Data and Limitations
This section outlines critical operating speeds, weight limitations, and performance data for the Diamond DA42 Twin Star. It includes stalling speeds, best climb rates, and maximum weights for takeoff and landing.
Safety notes
- This checklist does not replace the Airplane Flight Manual.
- Use of this checklist is at the user's sole risk and discretion.
- Diamond Aircraft shall have no liability for any damages, injury or death resulting from its use.

Peter Schmidleitner Reihenhausweg 6 2345 Brunn am Gebirge Checklist für Diamond DA 42 Twin Star Edition #: 12 Edition date: 01.07.2006 Please observe: In order to simplify the production process the following method has been chosen: Normal Checklist, Emergency Checklist and Abnormal Checklist are produced separately, and therefore each will have its own “edition #”; “edition date” and pagination sequence. The file you are receiving hereby, however, combines all three sections: Normal Checklist, Emergency Checklist and Abnormal Checklist. For each of the 3 sections 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. It is now up to you, whether you chose to print out the complete new checklist (thereby making papermills happy) or to print out only those pages which have been amended (thereby stressing brain cells how to do this). Have a lot of nice flights and happy landings! Peter Schmidleitner Comments explaining Edition # 12 are on page 2 of this document Checklist DA42 Twin Star - LEP Following Page Edition Date (or any higher) is valid Section : Normal Checklist 1 12 01.07.2006 2 12 01.07.2006 3 12 01.07.2006 4 12 01.07.2006 5 12 01.07.2006 6 12 01.07.2006 7 12 01.07.2006 8 12 01.07.2006 9 12 01.07.2006 10 12 01.07.2006 Section: Emergency Checklist 1 12 01.07.2006 2 12 01.07.2006 3 12 01.07.2006 4 12 01.07.2006 5 12 01.07.2006 6 12 01.07.2006 7 12 01.07.2006 8 12 01.07.2006 9 12 01.07.2006 10 12 01.07.2006 11 12 01.07.2006 Section: Abnormal Checklist 12 12 01.07.2006 13 12 01.07.2006 14 12 01.07.2006 15 12 01.07.2006 16 12 01.07.2006 17 12 01.07.2006 18 12 01.07.2006 Comments explaining Edition # 11.5 Normal Checklist Some PREFLIGHT EXTERIOR items rearranged FMS setup: item “Radios” expanded Autopilot test and Altimeter setting added to “check after engine start” Check of electrical trim, ice protection and parking brake release added to “before TKOF check” “Start key REMOVED” added to Parking Check Page 9: stall speed increment for ice added Emergency Checklist Oxygen system related items added. Abnormal Checklist DEIC PRES LO procedure amended according “fiki” supplement. Emergency Checklist Abnormal Checklist Layout of these checklists has been completely revised! As you might know there is an inconsistency in the DA42 AFM since it is not arranged according to the principle "red light - red chapter", "yellow light - yellow chapter". This originally caused me to develop that somewhat awkward introductory table (with that red and yellow blocks) on page 2 of the previous emergency checklist. Despite of this AFM structure I decided now to revise the DA42 checklist, and this checklist now adheres to the principle “red light – red checklist”, “yellow light – yellow checklist”. In addition (since the cover sheet of the Emergency Checklist has the heading “Emergency + Abnormal Checklist”) I changed the pagination and pages are now numbered without starting the Abnormal Checklist with another “1”. Comments explaining Edition # 12 This new edition is the result of a major exercise to streamline the checklists for all the 5 Diamond aircraft types (DA40-180, DA40 TDI, DA40-180 G1000, DA40 TDI G1000 and DA42) and to bring them to a common layout and standard. In addition: Emergency Checklist All references to “12.500 ft” in the “Oxygen System” checklists have been changes to “10.000 ft” in order to comply with a revision of the relevant AFM supplement S04. Note: In the future the system of assigning “Edition #” will be as follows: x if the revision affects all types, a new edition # (without a decimal figure) will be assigned to all of the checklists x 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. DA42 Twin Star 01.07.2006 Peter Schmidleitner Page 1 Edition # 12 Does not replace the Airplane Flight Manual NORMAL CHECKLIST This checklist is compiled according the guidelines of GAMA Specification No.1, SECTION 3, para 3.5, SECTION 3A, para 3A.5 and SECTION 4, para 4.5. The “Amplified Normal Procedures”, „Amplified Emergency Procedures“ and „Amplified Abnormal Procedures“ according GAMA Specification No. 1 are in the DA42 Airplane Flight Manual Chapters 4A, 3 and 4B. This checklist is not a substitute for and does not supersede any portion of the current approved Airplane Flight Manual or any of its supplements, or any training or procedures required by any regulatory or advisory bodies. Use of this checklist is at the user's sole risk and discretion. Diamond Aircraft shall have no liability for any damages, injury or death resulting from its use. All such terms and conditions shall be deemed to be accepted in full by continued use of this checklist. If you do not understand, or if you disagree with, any of the above terms and conditions, further use of this checklist is not permitted. Further use of this checklist is prohibited in any jurisdiction that does not give effect to all provisions of these terms and conditions. Use of the electronic checklist (if available): Before using the electronic checklist on the G1000 the following sections have to be completed using this paper checklist: x Preflight interior + exterior x Preflight exterior x Check before engine start items 1 to 21 (may be completed by heart). This checklist also serves as a back up for the electronic checklist in case the G1000 MFD is not available. Diamond DA42 Twin Star DA42 Twin Star PREFLIGHT PROCEDURES
