A flight review in your own airplane has a way of exposing habits. The instructor asks what you’d do with a partial power loss after takeoff, and you realize you’ve been leaning on the Garmin screens and the autopilot more than on the procedures you trained on.
A checklist written for the Turbo 206 H with G1000 and the GFC 700 is a good study aid for exactly that conversation. Go through it alongside the POH/AFM’s emergency section before the review, and you’ll have a fresh picture of both. The POH/AFM and its supplements remain the source of truth; the checklist is the quick-reference copy you fly with.
Quick answer: The CheckMate Cessna 206 H Turbo G1000 GFC700 Checklist is a cockpit checklist for pilots who fly the turbocharged Cessna 206 H with G1000 and the GFC 700 autopilot. It comes as CheckMate, CheckMate+ or CheckMate Pro in Standard (6.5″ x 9″) or Compact (5″ x 7″) sizes. It’s meant to supplement the airplane’s POH/AFM, not replace it, so confirm it matches your exact model, year, engine and handbook before relying on it. It’s listed on Skyfarer and available at Skyfarer Shop.

Getting the most from it
- Start with a match check. Confirm the checklist fits your exact model, year and engine by comparing it with the airplane’s POH/AFM.
- Compare it with the POH/AFM before the first flight. Supplements for avionics, autopilots and other modifications can change procedures, so read those too. The handbook always governs.
- Review emergencies before the flight review. Read the checklist’s emergency procedures side by side with the POH/AFM’s emergency section a few days before, and talk through each one out loud.
- Keep it where your hand finds it. Decide where the checklist lives in flight and keep it there every time. Standard (6.5″ x 9″) and Compact (5″ x 7″) sizes give you a choice.
Checklist and handbook
Any checklist, including this one, works alongside the airplane’s POH/AFM rather than in place of it. The handbook and its supplements have the final word on procedures, speeds and limitations.
Before you rely on it, confirm it matches your airplane’s exact model, year and engine, and check it against the handbook that belongs to that airplane, including any supplements for modifications or avionics.
Pilot tip: Ask your instructor to include at least one scenario where the autopilot or avionics misbehave. Knowing how to fly the airplane without them is part of flying it with them.
