Re: DA40NG - CO detector needed?

My XLS has the integrated CO detector, but during winter I also fly with a backup - works excellent.

TAS600 was factory installed. Love the system especially good when traveling into Canada’s airspace where those cowboys have no ads-b. I’m very happy with it especially as coupled to the GTX345r

Your pocket calculation of $110k misses a major factor - Tax on that interest income.
