Checklist für Diamond DA40 TDI Diamond Star 

 
Edition #: 17.1  Edition date:  15.04.2017 
 
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!
