Thank you Wolfgang. So what you are basically saying is that the only advantage of the WAAS/EGNOS upgrade would be that you get the luxury of vertical guidance on GPS approaches and that you would legally be able to fly to lower minima on most such approaches. But it does not buy you anything on RNP...

I am affected as well (non-WAAS G1000), and started to read up a bit on this. AFAIUI right now the situation is as described above. So you can fly en-route on a non-WAAS G1000, and also fly LNAV approaches. You'll do that without vertical guidance, so basically like you would do any conventional Non...

Hi Chris,
Good job, works now!
Well, maybe not that good, no excuse for not donating
Come on others, do not just throw in your 2 cents, but make it a bit more!

Nope, not there. I use a Mac/Safari

Sorry, my mistake. I thought we were talking about the hoses/lines on the engine itself. Indeed, the hoses you referred to have an different replacement interval. Just had mine done last yr.

The 'Thielert' MM states (chapter 5, Airworthiness Limitations): 'Every 60 months replace ...

'Thielert' DA42, no problems so far. Note: hoses and pipes need to be replaced every 5 years under EASA rules, Airworthiness limitation.. Did that in 2013. Different in SA, Steve? And how about FAA, Colin?

Very nice Ofer! You got lucky on the shadow of the aircraft at landing, or was that carefully planned?

Seriously (and before I get stripped of a few of my stars by the moderator), I would not be wild about the idea that my residues would end up on the empennage, because this venturi probably would not prevent that?
