GI275 and fuel sensor

Hello, I remember that I have read one time that the sensor in our fuel thank are compatible with the GI275. Next year, I will have the MSI visit, so the fuel tank and the wings will have to be disassembled and it might be the opportunity first to change the fuel sensors (if needed) and also install...

Re: Parts Delays and Diamond Supplier Issues?

Hi, Did you try to contact the reseller in Europe? It seems that there are different stock for Europe/USA... I'm in Europe and sometimes its better for me to order in the USA, sometimes in Europe.

Re: Avionics upgrade

Hi,

I just want to have your opinion on replacing my electric AI and my electric directional by 2 GI-275.
I have a full steam gauge installation with a GNS430 (non wasa) and no autopilot.

Thank you.

Essential bus - Maintenance 1000hr ?

Hi all, Just a short question, because I just noticed that one of my kardex item has turned red for the maintenance of the essential bus (DA4-3110-60-15). It is written "maintenance/lubrification". Is it only an inspection? Has the part to be changed? It has been installed on the plane 100...

Oil filter

Hi,

My engine has always been equipped with a Champion oil filter but it is out of stock for a while. I heard that it is possible to use a tempest but I don’t know what is the ref.

Thank you.

Arnaud.
