Inquire about shipping.

Unfortunately the majority of our approaches have been RNAV.
My ILS approaches have been terminated in visual conditions with hand flying.

My limited experiences on autopilot coupled ILS approaches is that the KAP140 does a better job laterally than the LPV approaches. The searching seems less. I ...

I had the WAAS upgrade several years ago.
I have been pleased with the upgrade but I have noticed that the KAP140 seems to be less precise tracking approaches. As the plane nears the airport, the autopilot over corrects and the plane fishtails. At times the over correction is bad enough that the ...

On my last annual, corrosion was found on one flap mass balance arm requiring its replacement.
I have a 2005 da-40 with the flaps never removed. Unfortunately, the flap has to be removed to replace the balance arm.

On my model there is a steel roll pin securing a stainless pin in the aluminum flap ...

I installed a SureFly in December, 2019, and had approximately 750 hours tach time on the unit. No timing advance was used and other than the well known mag time lag causing a backfire, no significant problems were noted.

When the update for this problem was released, I was told that my unit would ...

Like Rich, I have no complaints about the KAP140 in modes other than on an approach.

As the lateral sensitivity increases (especially after the faf), the lateral oscillation can
become excessive with majority of approaches requiring hand flying or input using the CWS.
Is there any solution to this ...

For anyone interested, the part number for the flap arm balance is DA4-5751-00-62MOD.

I also could not find the part in the IPC or in the maintenance manual.

Brittany at Premier Aircraft at KFXE had the part in stock and also confirmed its elusive nature in the Diamond publications.
Apparently ...

I installed an early version of the SureFly in Nov. 2019 for the left mag, disconnecting the SlickStart. I did not utilize the timing advance feature.

The starts are easy and the SureFly has performed as advertised.

I was fortunate in having none of the problems mentioned in the earlier threads ...

Thanks for the compliment.

Unfortunately after making several plugs for two different years of the DA-40 plus my own plane, I have found that the vents are all slightly different. This requires that the vent plug be fashioned to each plane in order to make it good looking as well as a tight fit ...

Sorry for the error, but I meant taping the bottom vent worked the best.
