The composite argument is super-weak. There are already all manner of avionics being installed in the DA40 by the factory and the third-party aftermarket. But the limited market opportunity is legitimate. Basically the DA40 market consists of those built prior to 2004 that don't already have a worki...

They look like Micky Mouse Headband - sticking with A20s.

It might simply be the extension sections are extended more than needed.

Yes, I have. Fuel from the tanks is a pale blue but from the gascolator it is much deeper blue. Puzzling over this, I have been.

From this month's Aviation Consumer writeup on the state of things, the three fuels being developed by groups other than GAMI are not sounding promising.

My 530/430 db's are Jeppesen-supplied.

Note that the OP was regarding the G1000. It seems the navigators have one thing and everything external has another with regard to this airport.

It’s odd Garmin would have the RNAV Y even though there is no chart for that approach. It’s Jepp Nav Data in the GNS. I have a Jepp subscription in Foreflight and there is no RNAV Y procedure for KEAT. There is ILS and ILS-Z for 12, RNAV (RNP) for 12, RNAV (RNP) for 30, VOR-A and VOR-B. Nor does Fo...
