Re: Diamond Quality

You can use the Check Flight Report in the DA40NG Aircraft Maintenance Manual (05-28-92) for a part of your acceptance process. The AMM is available from the Diamond Tech Pubs website.

Re: Standby instruments

It uses the pitot/static inputs to determine that the airplane isn't flying (no airspeed) and turns itself off. So if you run out of power in clouds and your pitot heat gets disabled and you ice over... According to the SAM pilot guide, you can stop the automated shutdown. SAM-shutdown.png
