Re: Sparkover in ignition harness
Hi Markus - welcome to the forum, and thanks for posting your problem! Wow - how unusual to have all 8 ignition cables go bad after only 100 hours! :scratch: Maybe just a bad batch of cables from the factory? I wonder if any other DA40s manufactured close to yours have the same problem? At least the...

Re: Highest Density Altitude?
Tim, Just pull the upper card out of the MFD, and copy the *.csv files from the folder on the card. There is one file for each time you power up the G1000, with names like: log_{date}_{time}_{airport}.csv so you can figure out which files go with which flights. It's nice to weed out the "small&...

Re: Highest Density Altitude?
I'm very jealous of all your new adventures, and I miss 5JP! You should post the data files from the trip to the Reports section for us to analyze - then we could answer all these burning questions!

Re: LSGL Lausanne Switzerland to OLBA Beirut Lebanon May 201
Spectacular photos, Antoine - what beautiful scenery! Thanks for putting all the effort into writing up your adventure so guys like me, who will probably never have the privilege to fly in such far-away places, at least can get a glimpse of what it's like. Whenever I land at a somewhat-unfriendly FB...

Re: Cabin Cool
Welcome to the forum, Harry! I can't seem to find any reference to this MSB on the FAA web site - do you have a link to (or the number of) the MSB? Do you have any idea what prompted the FAA to issue the MSB? I'm just curious - I don't have Cabin Cool, but I always thought it sounded like a nice opt...

Re: KAP140 Autopilot Pitch Fault
Specifically, this is the KC 140 module. The KAP 140 is a system consisting of the KC 140 and the servos and other stuff (in my case a HSI 525 and magnetometer). Good point, Rich - thanks for the correction. Upon upgrading to WAAS I had to reseat the KC140 afterward, as somehow the pins didn't full...

Re: DA20 accident
What were these guys doing? http://www.ntsb.gov/aviationquery/brief.aspx?ev_id=20110523X90907&key=1 Wow! Good question. The report reads like they were just horsin' around prior to the incident. But two pilots - you would have thought one of them would have some common sense? I can't imagine an...

Re: KAP140 Autopilot Pitch Fault
Back from Virginia Aviation at KLYH. The tech pulls the log from the KAP and we find a ton of "error 33 - accel mon over upper lmt" messages - pretty much one for every time we've powered up the avionics lately, including the flight over to LYH this morning. His idea is to replace the KAP1...

Re: KAP140 Autopilot Pitch Fault
Just as an update, this problem doesn't seem to be cold-temperature-related. Well, actually it seems to have gotten much worse now that it's warmer! The last few flights, the Pitch fault light comes on as soon as the KAP140 hits the power-up test #3. If I cycle the AP CB maybe 10 or 12 times, it wil...

Re: Dangerous airline
Looks to me like it's missing the entire RIGHT WING, but you would think the pilot would have noticed that! Or maybe he was just too distracted by the pretty young flight attendant... :shock: The right engine is still there - I guess that's the important part, right! Actually, if you look really cl...
