NORMAL OPERATING CHECKLIST
This checklist is compiled according the guidelines of GAMA Specification No.1, SECTION 3, para 3.5,
SECTION 3A, para 3A.5 and SECTION 4, para 4.5.
The "Amplified Normal Procedures", „Amplified Emergency Procedures" and „Amplified Abnormal
Procedures" according GAMA Specification No. 1 are in the DA50 C Airplane Flight Manual.
This checklist is a Recommended Operator Checklist and for reference only.
It is not a substitute for and does not supersede the current approved Airplane Flight Manual or any
of its supplements or parts thereof, or any training or procedures required by any regulatory or
advisory bodies.
This checklist may not contain all procedures shown in the Airplane Flight Manual. For a
comprehensive listing of all procedures consult the Airplane Flight Manual.
Use of the checklist is at the user's sole risk and discretion.
