Re: New Purchase Experience

I've bought from Premier and it seems they only get a low reimbursement. Not much communication. Delivery should have been end of February / beginning of March. Had to ask and they responded they have an online sales meeting next week and they will ask :(

Long range cruise

I might want to do some long range cruise flights to Latin America.

I see on page 5-26 of the AFM the landing gear should be retracted. But how 8-)

Re: They're out there among us...

It will get worse with AI. In my medical field they are now feeding all the bad pharma publications to AI and only the bad, commercial results will make into internet wisdom....

Re: Thinking of DA40 after SR22

Re: Advise on New DA40 XLT Configuration

Done, changed from NG to XLT. Unfortunately 2022 prices went up already on January 15. Delivery now not May but August. Thanks to all advice a 50G with standard prop. Ditched the SAM because a Garmin GI 275 will outperform all backup instruments. And no GDL 69. Good think is the take off performance...
