This will be bad news for some owners.
As it affects the engine I would expect it to be bumped up to AD status pretty quickly, at least in Europe. FAA is a little slower to act .

Re: DA40NG Coolant Leak and ECU A Failure
And in more fairness, the DA42 has not been investigated so we don't know the cause.
PS, The DA40 was 2 years ago, not this week.

Re: 11 months delivery time for Austro engines
Hi, My DA42ng has about 250 hours left on both engines, and when I contacted my diamond service center they told me that it takes 11 months to receive new engines. Why is it taking so long to get new engines? will this change in near future? You should be able to claim an extra 50 hrs on the engine...

Re: Shop chopped up my nose gear!
Not sure about the FAA, but in a lot of places around the world it is a requirement to destroy any aviation component considered scrap so that it cannot be reused.

Re: Don’t get out with the prop running
My god that's a huge propeller...I heard of a crew member walking through one that must have been barley turning and not getting hit. Sounds more like a myth but who knows. I used to work with a guy in the military in the early 80s who had such an encounter and survived. He was removing the chocks ...

Re: COM static
Yesterday we tested the static wicks and they were all within spec. Later, the guys across the alley from my hangar, who restore legacy aircraft (they were wheeling out a T6 and expecting a P-51) said it was a ground issue. This kind of resonated with me. The static is not when I'm Rx/Tx, only when...

Re: COM static
I've tested the squelch switch and it is definitely not the problem. I'm going to have the static wicks tested next week. Before I make my flight to the SC to have them tested, is this something I could test myself? I have a decent multimeter. Does anyone know how to perform the test? You need a bo...
