Re: European MTOW vs. Canadiam MTOW

I have flown many DA62’s in Europe and have never found one with a MTOW of 4,047, I think pretty much all of them are 5,071lb. Don’t just assume that it will be a lower MTOW just because it has an Austrian serial number.

Re: Best Pivot mount for DA62

I use a Pivot case with the iPad Mini 6th gen. An arm around 4 inches attached to the ball mount works really well. The pencil is right there, the door opens and the air from the vent just about gets past it. The Pivot case is in my opinion the very best on the market. I usually slip the iPad off th...

Fantastic… thanks for the guidance there guys. I don’t have access to a GPU but will ask the maintenance team to look at it next time it is in there.

Did you ever get this resolved Neema? I have a new 62 that arrived last month and it is just the same. Very annoying when passengers 1. Want to listen to ATC and 2. Don’t know that I am and so keep chatting.

I think roughly 45-50 come out of Austria at present. Four a month feels about right.

DA62 Mass & Balance planning with ForeFlight

Does anyone else have a problem with (or solution to) this problem? I sometimes want to use less than full mains with some fuel in Aux tanks for M&B purposes. ForeFlight will not allow me to enter any fuel in the Aux tanks unless the mains are full. For example, if I put 40 gallons in the mains ...

New chief instructor just joined who seems good. I am doing ME IR in really nice DA42NG. Internal admin...

Re: DA62 fuel tanks

And now I will presume to correct myself. I noticed that the total gallons for the 62 are 26, not 25, gallons. I also noted that the part numbers in the IPC between the 40 and the 62 do not exactly match. I made the inference that the drawings in the respective AMM's for the DA40L/42NG/62 are isome...
