2 = Surface-7,000 = Surface- 12,000 = UAV OPS area = 7,500-12,000

3 How to Use the Checklist: When using the following checklist there are a few items to note: 1. Verify that you are using the proper checklist for the appropriate aircraft. 2. Bold Items are immediate action. 3. Bold Items are verbal callouts. 4. Italicized are information items. 5. ALL CAPS is action to be performed. 6. Underlined is an action to be completed when parameters have been met. 7. Verify that you have the MOST CURRENT REVISI. 8. All checklists are arranged in the following order: some items might be combined for brevity. Preflight Normal Maneuvers Abnormal (Pink) 9. Boxed checklists - - are performed as Read and Do checklists while dashed checklists - - are performed from memory. 10. ALWAYS WITH THE AFM if you are in doubt about anything. 11. Lines are included under checklist headers to identify the key tasks that must be accomplished before continuing with the checklist. DA-40F LISTS DA-40CS LISTS DA-42 LISTS Name: Phone#

Carburetor Heat should be used anytime carburetor icing is suspected or anytime the potential for carburetor ice is present. Carburetor heat will be for any descent and may be turned upon leveling-off. Carburetor heat will be turned during the Downwind and turned with flap application on Base. Carburetor heat will be turned 200 feet above MDA or DH on an instrument approach and then used as necessary after arriving at MDA or DH. SOP should be off when above 500 AGL unless deemed necessary for the safety of flight. Verify Fuel pressure prior to turning off the fuel pump. 10
