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?

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?
