DA42/62 Checklists for use with Aerobask DA42/62 and XChecklist Plugin
Description: Normal and Emergency Checklists
Tested in XP12r006 using the Aerobask DA62
Based off the Diamond's AFMs and my operator's procedures
Procedures have been adjusted to work with the limtiations of XChecklist and the Aerobask Mod
**AGAIN - DO NOT USE FOR INSTRUCTION IF YOU ARE TRAINING ON TYPE**
Normal Checklists:
Preflight
Before Start
Engine Start
Before Taxi
Taxi
Before Takeoff
After Takeoff
Descent
Landing
After Landing
Shutdown
Emergency Checklists:
Both Engines Out Landing
Complete Electrical Failure
Ditching
Engine Failure in Flight
Engine Fire in Flight
Gear Unsafe or Manual Gear Extension
Landing with Gear Up
Landing with One Engine Inoperative
NO AUTOMATIC FUNCTIONALITY >> I recommend setting up a joystick or key shortcut to save you having to click on the tickbox with your mouse. (I'm using the trigger on my joystick.)
Remember that the DA42/62 are light twins generally flown single pilot. You have to accomplish these checklists yourself, situation permitting. Several Emergency Checklists rely on engine securing memory items. I strongly recommend practising control of the aircraft single engine in various phases of flight and practising engine failure drills before attempting to utilise these checklists. The checklist is there to verify you have done the required actions - it is NOT an instruction manual! Workload in the real plane is high!
Reommendation: Some of the checklists are quite large so I suggest turning on the translucent background in the XChecklist setup to transparent so you can still see while flying.

Feedback is very welcome. I'm planning on adding more emergency checklists in future. For reasons of realism, I'm not planning on adding automatic functionality, but let me know your thoughts.
