Re: Weight and Balance Calculator
...but they don't have one for the 62 yet so I'm still doing the sheet math for rare bird Wayne, welcome to the forum. I sent you a PM requesting your email address so I can send you a graphing Excel spreadsheet that I developed for my DA62 that plots 4 data points combining fuel and TKS fluid onbo...

Re: DA40: water puddles on the carpet
I made the same mistake once in my DA40: I left the right vent window open when the plane was tied down overnight in a thunderstorm. When I returned the next day, the right cup holder was completely full of water and my right sheepskin seat cover was soaked. But the drain holes in the bottom of the ...

Re: fuel leaking from right wing?
It's considered "normal" for fuel to flow out of the vents on the right wing if you mistakenly fill it all the way to the top. I've seen this on my DA40 and DA42 (and I'm pretty sure the 62 will exhibit the same behavior). The leaking is made worse if the fuel nozzle is pointed inboard whi...

Re: G1000 NXi Differences
While available as an option prior to NXi (on newer G1000s with the GSM 86 servo mounts), our DA62 is the first plane I've owned with Electronic Stability and Protection (ESP), and I'm really impressed by its ability to fly coupled missed approaches. When nearing the Missed Approach Point (MAP), all...

Re: G1000 NXi Differences
I've only been talking to Diamond Canada. Diamond Austria, working with Garmin, decides what NXi features to include in Diamond aircraft.dselder1962 wrote:Did you ask Diamond why they aren't included in this setup?

Re: G1000 NXi Differences
Another NXi-related thing I experienced: If you top off the DA62 Auxiliary fuel tanks all the way to the filler neck, the (welcome new feature with NXi) Aux tank fuel gauges (on the MFD Engine page) will both show yellow Xs -- as if the gauges have failed. However as soon as you start transferring t...

Re: G1000 NXi Differences
In the Garmin Pilot Guide for NXi on page 206 a visual approach "visual 13" seems to be one of the options: I'm not surprised that Garmin reused this diagram from other planes in their NXi Diamond manuals (e.g., there's an entire "Visual Approaches" section in Cessna NXi manuals...

Re: G1000 NXi Differences
Did I understand correctly? You can't have Canadian and US charts loaded simultaneously? Yes, only one country at a time for these IFR/VFR raster image charts that are new to NXi. In contrast, object-oriented NavData shows all of North America maps seamlessly (as was always the case with legacy G10...

G1000 NXi Differences
Now that I've had my new plane for a week, I thought it might be appropriate to share a comparison of the new G1000 NXi panel with the "legacy" G1000 I had in my DA42 and DA40. Since the original G1000 was introduced in 2004, it shouldn't be too surprising that Garmin was able to significa...
