The display system is not receiving attitude reference information from the AHRS; accompanied by the removal of sky/ground presentation and a red X over the attitude area.
Revert to the standby by attitude indicator.
G1000 SYSTEM WARNING: AIRSPEED
FAIL
The display system is not receiving airspeed input from the air data computer; accompanied by a red X through the airspeed display.
G1000 SYSTEM WARNING: ALTITUDE FAIL
The display system is not receiving altitude input from the air data computer; accompanied by a red X through the altimeter display.
Revert to the standing altimeter.

PFD OR MFD DISPLAY FAILURE
DISPLAY BACK UP BUTTON ..................................... ON
AHRS FAILURE
NOTE
A Failure Of The Attitude And Heading Reference System (AHRS) Is Indicated By A Removal Of The sky/ground presentation and a red X and a yellow “AHRS FAILURE” shown on the PFD. The digital heading presentation will be replaced with a yellow “DHG” and the compass rose digits will be removed. The course pointer will indicate straight up and course may be set using the digital window.
Use standby attitude indicator, emergency compass and Navigation map
Course ................................ Set using digital window
ABNORMAL AND EMERGENCY PROCEDURES B.03.06.29
DA 42 EMERGENCY CHECK LIST REV03 01 NOV 11
AIR DATA COMPUTER (ADC) FAILURE
NOTE
Complete loss of the Air Data Computer is indicated by a red X and yellow text over the airspeed, altimeter, vertical speed, TAS and OAT displays. Some FMS functions, such as true airspeed and wind calculations, will also be lost.
Use standby airspeed indicator and altimeter.
ERRONEOUS OR LOSS OF
WARNING/CAUTION ANNUNCIATORS
NOTE
Loss of an annunciator may be indicated when engine or fuel displays show an abnormal or emergency situation and the annunciator is not present. An erroneous annunciator may be identified when an annunciator appears which does not agree with other displays or system information
if an annunciator appears, treat it as if the condition exists. Refer chapter EMERGENCY PROCEDURES or chapter ABNORMAL OPERATING PROCEDURES.
If a display indicates an abnormal condition but no annunciator is present, use other system information, such as engine displays, GPS fuel quantity and flow, to determine if the condition exists. If it cannot be determined that the condition does not exist, treat the situation as if the condition exists. Refer chapter EMERGENCY PROCEDURES or chapter ABNORMAL OPERATING PROCEDURES.

AT LEAST ONE POWER LEVER IS IN POSITION FOR POWER SETTINGS OF MORE THAN 25% LOAD
The variable elevator backstop is inoperative. In case of stalling with “power-on” the handling qualities and stall characteristic are degraded significantly.
!! DO NOT STALL THE AIRPLANE IN ANY CONFIGURATION !!
AT LEAST ONE POWER LEVER IS IN POSITION FOR POWER SETTINGS OF MORE THAN 25% LOAD
The variable elevator backstop is active all the time, reducing the maximum elevator “pull”-deflection. This results in reduced elevator capacity. In this case it is important to maintain the required minimum VREF 76 KIAS during the approach for landing especially at loading conditions with forward locations of the center of gravity.

02.04 - SAFETY INSPECTION
The safety inspection takes place when the aircraft is handed over to the pilot. It is meant to check:
Its general external appearance to ensure that all conditions will guarantee its safety. Inside the aircraft: to make sure that when switching on the Electric Master no damage
will be caused.
This inspection is carried out by the pilot.
DAILY CHECK
Before the first flight of a day it must be ensured that the following functions are operable without failure.
On-condition check of the canopy, the side door and the baggage compartment doors for cracks and major scratches.
On-condition check of hinges for the canopy, the side door and the baggage compartment doors.
Visual inspection of the locking bolts for proper movement with no backlash.
PREPARATION:
- General appearance ......................................................................... Checked
Prior to getting into the aircraft, the pilot checks its general condition, airframe and environment. He removes the various protective covers and pulls away the tow bar on the nose gear. As long as parking brake has not been checked, chocks on nose gear are not removed. He checks visually fuel remaining in the tanks as described in chapter 2 external inspection. He takes notice of possible remarks and comments left by previous crew or technical staff on the technical logbook. In case of any comments the pilot will have to check the compliance with the M.E.L.
- Parking brake ............................................................................................... ON
To apply parking brake:
Press on the top of both pedals ,in order to pressurize the brake system
Pull the parking brake lever downwards until it catches in order to prevent brake pressure from dropping.
- Controls ............................................................................... Released and free
- Life jackets ........................................................... On board and within reach
The pilot should check that all safety items are on board and more particularly life jackets which have to stay within reach, during flight. For front seats, the latter are to be found in the rear pockets of each seat.
