Sun Visor Movement

Has anyone found a way to secure the DA40NG sun visor in position so that it doesn’t move during a hard landing?

Re: DA40 NG, available power check

Thanks Jan for the advice. My runway, for the winter, is a very short 498 m which I guess I should have mentioned in my original post. Are you then advising me to hold on the brakes, at the take off point, with full power for the full 10 seconds?

DA40 NG, available power check

Where should the available power check be performed and for how long? The Diamond checklist edition 17.3 states that it should be performed as the last item on the line up procedure which implies that it is performed on the runway. However the AFM states that it should be performed as one of the las...

Sideslip

The DA20 Flight Manual does not mention sideslip, does this mean that it is not an approved manoeuvre?
