Re: winch or powered tow bar?
Pascal: Add 5# from recommended on mains and nose tires. Makes a world of difference in all respects. I cannot tell of any abnormal wear on the treads after years of added air in current or previous planes. In fact if you chalk your treads with the extra #'s, it make no difference.

Re: DA20 and DA40 Temperature Limits

Re: ASI erratic.
Also and no less important...I had a 182 with the same problem; turned out that the plastic tube at the inlet of the ASI had a hard to see crack or split where it connected. Might check that out as well?

Re: ASI erratic.
Was the air blown through the pitot line in reverse (from the tube behind the ASI out)? May be debris (bug?). Need to be extremely careful not to produce more than very light breath pressure from pitot to ASI.
