Re: Nose gear recurring AD
Interesting report. Of note, the accident aircraft had 4,855 hours on it and was being used for flight instruction.

Re: Business Seating Configuration
The 26 April 2023 email I received from Diamond also mentions the DA50 second row business seating configuration -- https://www.diamondaircraft.com/en/about-diamond/newsroom/diamonddiary/article/latest-product-updates-you-dont-want-to-miss/?utm_source=mailworx&utm_medium=email&utm_content=pr...

Re: Older legacy DA40 avionics upgrade options?
I also investigated the G3X touch. I concluded that it would require extensive panel work to mount so I went with the relatively easy to install Aspen.

Re: A very big deal -- FAA Approves G100UL for ALL GA piston spark-ignition aircraft
Rich- I don't see a request for "registration number". It asks for airframe serial number and tail number. Here's the site I'm looking at -- https://stc.g100ul.com/aircraft/ Bernie

Funny, I put in 40.277 for my "airframe serial number" and it took it.

Re: A very big deal -- FAA Approves G100UL for ALL GA piston spark-ignition aircraft
I watched a video of GAMI's presentation on this at Sun N Fun. The roll out in California seems to be on the verge of happening. The Governor wants G100UL in all airports by the end of the year. Doubt that is feasible but shows the amount of pressure to get this done. One thing I learned about the f...

Re: No plans for Diamond GFC 500 autopilot?
Emir- Thanks for that clarification based on your discussions with Diamond. I'm a little surprised that presumably the GFC700 also doesn't use the same servo mounts as the KAP140. (I assumed the use of new servos, which should be improvements.) I guess this is one of the reasons Diamond requires KAP...

Re: No plans for Diamond GFC 500 autopilot?
Apparently, satisfying the FAA with regard to whether the lightning protection used in composite aircraft (vice aluminum) is satisfactory is a non-trivial matter from a STC regulatory standpoint. This is particularly the case with regard to critical avionics that indicate flight attitude (PFDs) or d...
