Re: ECU A/B fail and engine cut off

The fuel pumps were sent to continental for further analyses.
The high pressure pump was damaged internally.
This caused the fuel pressure to drop to zero and the engine to stop.

Re: ECU A/B fail and engine cut off

Andrew,
I did not pull the circuit breakers and only followed the checklist, as I was not aware of that possibility.
I just noted that option while reading ECU posts on this forum.
Kindest regards,
Joop

Re: NON-WAAS question

Thanks for the additional information.
Today I also received the PBN documentation from the Dutch Diamond dealer including a cost proposal for the WAAS upgrade.
It seems that continuation of IFR flight in Europe in the not to far future makes an upgrade mandatory.

Thanks a lot for your explanation.
This is really helpfull.
You mentioned that LNAV/VNAV approaches are not supported. But, what does that mean?
