https://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/308928 From the ground track and eyewitness reports it sounds like some sort of an impossible turn type situation. The post crash fire is the third or fourth in recent memory in our airplanes, after basically none before that I'd heard of. Very saddened for the o...

It would be truly hilarious if this survey was actually done by Cirrus, as a way of getting great feedback from the least satisfied Diamond owners… But in more seriousness, on the Austro call, they said something to the effect that European data protection regulations make it difficult for them to c...

This didn't go to everyone. I didn't get the survey, and I bought a plane in May... Thanka for sending this along.

When I encountered this problem I deleted what I had, downloaded a fresh copy from the Gamin site, and installed it. Then it failed again. Since Garmin knew about this problem, they should have put a notice on the download page. I don't know if or how they intend to let us know when the new version...

I don't think that all the affected engines are those they built themselves. I thought that they'd only been building them since late 2021 / early 2022, but there are affected engines going much further back. For all we know, this same issue is also affecting this same engine for Mercedes as well — ...

Will Diamond Canada be paying for this, or is this entirely on Austro and Diamond Austria? I don't know if their corporate structure is going to be putting the Canadians on the hook for this.

If they keep the current language, I wonder what all the Part 91 operators in the US will do once past TBO. The way the MSB is worded, it would seem like you could stop doing analysis at TBO... but I'm sure that's not the intent here.

Am I reading this right in that for my engine (group 1) I am now going to be required to perform an oil analysis every 50 hours? And the moment it doesn't pass, the engine needs to be replaced?

Sigh.

The static was not radio noise but more like electrical contact noise. I did not check if it’s causing RX to light up. Both pilot and copilot could hear it, however. It did not go away when unplugging the pilot side microphone, but it got worse when wiggling the pilot side headphones plug. Sprayed c...

I just started getting this problem. A quick spray of contact cleaner seems to have reduced the static quite a bit. My symptoms were pretty strong static, which reacted to me playing with the plugs.
