Diamond DA4X, 50, 6X stabilized approach criteria

Hi, I am looking for Diamond pilots who can contribute stabilized approach criteria for the DA40, 42, 50 and 62 models for implentation in FlySto.net The idea is to get a better understanding of parameters and values for approach scoring and limits, see here for a sample flight https://www.flysto.ne...

Re: DA40NG Fuel Transfer Failure

Thanks all!
Indeed the pump didn’t work. The emergency valve switch worked.

I will report back if the issue is fixed with a new pump.

Re: G1000 flight log analysis

so, some UI feedback. I'm picky about ui. I looked at the example log and for the 2d map: -- can't drag around at all? is there some hotkey? I tried holding space. -- both mouse buttons zoom (including middle) -- scroll wheel doesn't zoom, it moves the map up and down (?) -- if you accidentally zoo...

I've been using FlySto quite a bit as well. I really like the ability to analyze approach and landing performance. I've created a separate spreadsheet to capture several key parameters generated by FlySto to look for good (or bad) trends in my approaches and landings. I’ve PM’d you. Interested in w...

Re: G1000 flight log analysis

I'm a big fan of FlySto and the insights the website provides to my flying. I recently bought an SDcard-to-Lightning adapter for my iPad Mini and now am able to upload the G1000 flight data without having to take the card home or my laptop to the airport. That’s a great idea. Have you tried connect...

For the sun part: Covers for all surfaces, with UV protected fabric (apparently the best material is "Sunbrella". Regarding heat, AFM is more about low temperatures, but someone else might have anecdotal references as well. 2.16.1 TEMPERATURE The airplane may only be operated when its temp...
