Mine has a mound of kitty litter under it that also serves as a wheel stop.

I wonder if signal transmission through the carbon fiber of the DA62 is more difficult than the DA40 fiberglass. Too bad it's mounted under the relatively crowded cockpit vs. the tail.

I was wondering if there are any new thoughts or updates on this topic now that diversity is a requirement for Canadian Class A airspace (as of 10-August). I have a bucket list item to fly to Alaska through the Yukon Territory, but I don't see that as possible with my current equipment (Legacy G1000...

I have a 2004 upgraded to WAAS. The G1000 was installed in new airplanes until at least 2016 and not something I worry about, although I expect to get something newer within the next 10 years.
