Checklist for Diamond DA42 Twin Star
Edition #: 14.2 Edition date: 01.01.2009 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!

ENGINE INSTRUMENT INDICATIONS OUTSIDE OF GREEN RANGE

COOLANT temperature high
Refer to Emergency Checklist page 3, L/R ENG TEMP

VOLTS low
On ground: Check circuit breakers Increase RPM If LOW VOLTS CAUTION still indicated on the G1000: Discontinue operation; terminate flight preparation In flight: Check circuit breakers Switch off unnecessary electrical equipment If LOW VOLTS CAUTION still indicated on the G1000: Apply L/R ALTN FAIL caution procedure, page 12

COOLANT temperature low

Remark: During low power descent from high altitude coolant temperature may decrease. Consider increasing power. Check G1000 for LOW COOLANT LVL caution light If LOW COOLANT LVL caution light ON Reduce power on affected engine Expect loss of coolant fluid Be prepared for an engine failure

RPM high
Reduce power on affected engine Keep RPM in green range with appropriate power lever setting If problem not solved: Refer to Emergency Checklist page 6 RPM overspeed Land ASAP

OIL temperature high

Refer to Emergency Checklist page 2, L/R OIL TEMP

OTHER ABNORMAL SITUATIONS

Both alternators failed
Avionic Master: OFF LH/RH Alternator: OFF Transponder: STBY Gear: DOWN When down and locked: Pull manual gear extension handle Stall/Pitot heat: OFF All lights:OFF Expect battery power to last for 30 minutes Expect engine stoppage after this time Land ASAP

OIL temperature low

Increase power Reduce airspeed

OIL pressure high

Check oil temperature and coolant temperature If within green range Oil pressure indication may be faulty; watch temperatures If outside of green range Reduce power on affected engine; Be prepared for an engine faiure; Land ASAP

OIL pressure low

Refer to Emergency Checklist page 2, L/R OIL PRES

Hydraulic pump: failure or continuous operation

Check gear indication lights Prepare for manual landing gear extension

FUEL temperature high

Refer to Emergency Checklist page 3, L/R FUEL TEMP

L/R Auxiliary fuel XFER FAIL

Both x-fer pumps OFF Check fuel quantity Use X-feed to keep main tank fuel unbalance within 1 USG Switch remaining x-fer pump ON Use X-feed to keep main tank fuel unbalance within 1 USG Amend flight plan to allow for reduced amount of available fuel

FUEL temperature low

Increase power on affected engine Reduce airspeed If not returning to green range: Be prepared for an engine failure;Land ASAP
