Re: DA40 NG Market Today


From the Controller advert:
2022 model year, Tach times: 1,600 hours on the airframe, 490 hours on the engine, 355 hours on the prop. Those differing hours will raise questions. Knowledgeable buyers will also want to know if the pistons are affected by the various ADs.

I thought about that but I would also need to reinstate my third-class medical as Canada won't accept BasicMed :x

Re: GTX345R


Is it the 345R via BT to the iPad or routed somehow through the G1000 via FlightStream. I didn't know FS would route EDS-B IN data.

I don't think those are mutually exclusive, but in my planes it was always via an FS510.

I have no FlightStream in my legacy G1000 but receive ADS-B traffic and ...

Re: Nose gear recurring AD

I ordered in January and was originally quoted 3 months, now being told July 2025. Any news on whether they will be subject to tariffs?

Re: Starlink in Diamond

Has anyone found a Starlink Mini kit for $300? I see it mostly for $499, although there is a refurb option on Starlink's site for $349

Re: Starlink in Diamond

It looks like there would still be a big performance advantage of using Starlink Mini vs Smartphone. Also, if someone used their phone or iPad, placing it on the glare shield for an extended period would likely cause overheating. Sounds like no one has had any overheating issues so far with the ...

Re: Starlink in Diamond

Once satellite data is available from T-Mobile and others, can't there still be a rationale for Starlink Mini? Has anyone seen a projection on download speed for a smartphone-based solution or any prediction on reception? I would have to believe that Starlink Mini would still provide a much more ...
