Checklist for DA62

Post by MH9494 »

New to the forum and currently renting a DA62 (nothing to buy out there) after having done my commercial in a DA42.

Does anyone know of a Checkmate (ie laminated one page double sided) checklist for the DA62 like there is for the DA42?
or
Does someone have something similar already in MS Word or Excel that you might share?

Thanks,
Mark

You can download the AFM from the Diamond Austria web site. Chapter 4 has the checklist, though not in concise form.

Personally, I greatly prefer the abbreviated checklists provided by Diamond Aircraft. They are always up to date (latest revision May 2021):

At every update, I print, laminate, punch, then bind with 5/16" ProClick spines. Fits perfectly in the pocket above the sunshade storage overhead.

Here is a checklist that a friend of mine created and I further modified. Very handy for normal ops after the preflight is complete.

Interestingly... the electronic checklists they provide are more abbreviated than the PDFs. Oh, and for those who want to, you can modify them with a tool from Garmin. We did a little customization on the checklists... like adding "Message Wife" as part of our before flight checklist :)

Thanks everyone.

We don't seem to have electronic checklists but will ask if I'm missing something.

The spreadsheet is great. I like to add reminders as well.

I also noted that when diamond is updating this page, the checklists go away. I started asking archive.org to save a copy for me so i can review prior versions.

Here is the latest snap of the page: https://web.archive.org/web/20211014211 ... hecklists/

And the copy of the DA62 G1000 NXi zip file: https://web.archive.org/web/20211014211 ... Xi_1.4.zip

Diamond's latest checklists (paper and electronic files including the DA62 with NXi) continue to be available here:
https://www.diamondaircraft.com/en/serv ... hecklists/

The latest G1000 NXi software version available with NXi Phase II hardware, with GDU 20.89 includes support for electronic checklists. You just have to download the checklist file from the link above, put it on an SDcard, and place into an MFD slot to load into the airplane.

"Message Wife"
I used to have that, but then I made an account for her on FlightAware and now she gets all SORTS of email alerts when I take off, flight a flight plan, change my destination and so on.

My wife setup one of those as well. The last time I diverted she was on the phone with me the moment I landed!
