Re: Diamond schools in Atlanta area for leaseback

Yup .. called them too.. and they said only if I had a DA42. Never got past the gatekeeper but he said he talked to the owners. Not sure they realized / cared it was a NG with Fadec.

For what its worth, if I do move to Atlanta, Peachtree / PDK is top area on my list.

Re: Austro engine reliability and safety

Yes the dual engine electrical failure is an especially scary one. Glad they weren't taking that flight at night!

Re: 100 hour inspection quotes. Holy Cow!!!

This question moved off into the "do you really need the full FAA 100 hour inspection", which it sounds like you certainly dont. But to answer your question about the pricing if you DID, which I do on my NG that is in a flight school, the ~$1800 pricing that Paul gave is spot on. I think m...

Re: Updated information for MSB-E4-039

So we were told originally, and on the call with diamond that those of us in group 3 with engines less than 900 hours and returning low aluminum numbers from the sample would have the option of a core replacement at 900 hours. Now I am seeing documentation stating that the only remedy for this situa...

Re: New MSB about to be issued

Ah ok. I had thought the pro rata talk was only around a full new engine, and not just a core.
