Re: DA-40NG Purchase Advice
I wrote this for a Facebook thread somewhere, but mostly relevant: - You're looking at roughly $600k, give or take how many hours it has and installed options. - Decide if you're looking for one with air conditioning (RACC) or not. This is by far the most significant option because it weighs 90lb an...

Re: Long range cruise
Assuming you have the long range tanks (39gal total) the practical rule is the meatbags inside are probably the limiting factor. On the next page you'll see at 10k' and 45% you're burning 4gph, at ~100ktas that gets you ~800nm in 8 hours with still 7 gallons to spare. You could squeak out even more ...

Re: Where to get dongle
AeroCity in Long Beach sold me one, but it took a few weeks to get so that's probably not super immediately helpful. I'd offer to let you borrow mine somehow but it's also 400mi from me in Long Beach sitting in the plane for annual. There's often a couple Diamonds on ADSB in the Salt Lake City area,...

Re: Unable to enable Pilot 3D Audio
There's a configuration mode you can get into by pressing and holding the PFD's `ENT` key while turning on the master; let go after `INITIALIZING SYSTEM` shows up. In there are a ton of controls for everything, many of which can screw up important things, so don't just go randomly making changes. Bu...

Re: New here, insurance question
I'm shopping for a lightly-used (don't want to wait out that year…) DA40NG and have started getting quotes. In the US (Arizona) instead of Canada so dunno what's typical there, but that looks super high from here even if your numbers are in $CAD. Based on $500k hull value, recently finished PPL with...
