Re: Time for TKS to Coat Wings
I’m puzzled with this low pressure warning. Is it normal/expected behavior or it happens just occasionally on some aircrafts?

Re: Time for TKS to Coat Wings
DA62 has longer wings, so obviously more work to be done. I don’t know if the pumps are the same as in DA42.

Re: Time for TKS to Coat Wings
I can give you data for DA42 only. If turned to MAX, both wings are completely wet all the way to the winglet until the end of MAX session (2 min). If turned to NORM, it takes few on/off periods to get the same result. HIGH takes some more time than MAX to get the same result - approximately 5 min.

Avgas future In Europe is quite blurry these days, besides being much more expensive than Jet A1.

Re: MSB-E4-042 - Crankshaft-bearing cap screws replacement
No more "hundred dollar hamburger" flights or fun flying around on nice days (an Epic turboprop burns nearly 10X the fuel per hour, so it's appropriate only for long trips). Convert it to “three hundred dollar hamburger“ :) Is the consumption per mile more than 3 times on some 300 NM dist...
