Normal Operating

Procedures

4A.1 INTRODUCTION

Chapter 4A contains checklists and describes procedures for the normal operation of the airplane.

NOTE

Readability of the G1000 PFD and MFD displays may be degraded when wearing polarized sunglasses.

NOTE

Normal operating procedures for GFC 700 are described in the Garmin G1000 Cockpit Reference Guide, P/N 190-00963-00 or later and the Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Diamond DA 42 NG, P/N 190-00962-00 or later.
