Re: DA40NG N907L forced landing on a highway
In the discussion about communication from the airframe and engine manufacturers, I wonder how common it is to get clarity from other companies. Apart from part-ownership of ancient airframes, the Diamond is the only airplane I'd owned solely and (currently) as a brand new airplane. I agree that com...

What an incredible story!
Though, given your profile picture... maybe you were just flying upside down at the time? )

Re: DA50 crash
Eek. I understand it's a new airframe and there have got to be gaps in teaching, and potentially gotchas in manufacturing, but... isn't this a sizable percentage of all DA50 airframes manufactured to date?

Re: ECU error during runup
Is there a way to get the dongle without going through the long / expensive Austro engine course? The shop checked the data that was logged, but it was non-specific. Maybe with a live run-up it would be specific, but at that point I didn't have the parameter out of spec (i.e. ECU was not in a failed...

Re: ECU error during runup
To follow up, the shop checked the logs. It was an unspecified "failure during run up due to a parameter being out of bounds". It did not sound concerning to them, unless it keeps happening and does not clear as per procedure.

Re: Losing GPS on approach
Does it always happen in the same area? There are, for example, GPS anomalies that happen in the vicinity of KSMO — for years, I've lost ADS-B coverage due to a loss of GPS at around 1300 AGL, and even had full GPS loss during an approach (fortunately in visual conditions). The airport even had gone...

Re: ECU error during runup
Thanks for the replies. I'm glad to hear that this is not something related to the cool-down period (it didn't seem likely to me, but was the only difference in behavior in both circumstances). I don't have A/C, so it's not related to that. As the failure was non-latched (the warning went away after...

ECU error during runup
Hi folks. Twice over the last year, while doing the run-up, I've received an ECU fail message (I think both times was ECU B). The test proceeds as normal but the ECU B FAIL message does not go away upon the run-up completion. Running the run-up again only performs the runup on the working ECU (I thi...

Re: Any DA-42 misfuelings?
Does anyone else feel like we're getting away with free fuel, by the way? Unlike 100LL which counts in tenths, I think all Jet-A pumps (or at least all the trucks) count in whole gallons. I figure on average that must mean I'm getting a half a gallon for free with every fill-up.
