(Optional)
The MFD is able to display optional electronic checklists which allow a pilot to quickly find the proper procedure
on the ground and during each phase of flight. The system accesses the checklists from an SD card inserted into
the bezel slot. If the SD card contains an invalid checklist file or no checklist, the Power-on Page messages display
‘Checklist File: Invalid’ or ‘Checklist File: N/A’ (not available) and the
CHKLIST
Softkey is not available.

CHKLIST
Softkey or turn the large
FMS
