5.1
Pre-Modification Checklist
Complete table 5-1 to ensure that the aircraft to be modified is a suitable candidate for
installation of the EFD1000 E5 system using this AML-STC. It is required to have a PASS or NA
for all rows in order to use this AML-STC as the certification basis for the EFD1000 E5
installation. NA means Not Applicable because no interface is made to that device. Only Items
designated with “– NA if no” (i.e. Items 4, 5, 8, and 10) may use NA in the PASS column.

9
Does the aircraft have a compatible GPS receiver, or will one be installed? (see Table 5-2)
10
If the aircraft is equipped with an autopilot – is the Autopilot compatible? (see Electrical
Interface Section 8 to determine heading and nav compatibility, and Appendix E to
determine EA100 compatibility- NA if no autopilot interface.
11
If the aircraft is limited to VFR, is there a placard stating “Operation of This Aircraft is
Limited to VFR Only”, The statement must be located in full view of the pilot, stating
“Operation of This Aircraft is Limited to VFR Only” in the same location as the removed IFR
