Re: FS 210 follies

Thanks! Is that ledge on which it sits standard or something you added? How did you lower it?

Re: FS 210 follies

I'm supposed to have a FS210 installed at my annual next week but I'm beginning to have my doubts.

Re: arizona baffle

Holt - I have 40.277 and it wasn't on mine. It was installed before I bought the plane so unfortunately I don't know the pricing. Bernie

Re: Lightspeed Sierra quirk

Interesting. On my Lightspeed Zulu I only hear the 500 foot call out once in a while, to the point where I wouldn't rely on it for an instrument approach. This may explain why. Thanks.

Re: 12 Year Structural Inspection

Matt- Did you end up doing the MSI? Did it require taking off the wings and fuel tanks in order to do the required MSI inspections of the wing interior? Thanks. Bernie

Re: The New Garmin GI 275 Attitude Indicator (AI/ADI)

Unfortunately, it's the turn coordinator that drives the KAP140, not the AI (the only Bendix King AP for which this is the case, all others are AI driven). What this AI would do is provide GPSS-like steering for lateral nav guidance. Looking at the documentation, I haven't seen anything that says it...

Re: uAvionix AV-30 EFIS

I did some more exploring to see what the GI 275 offers over the AV-30 for the 2001-03 DA40. In the AI version, additional features (at a price) include Synthetic Vision (free for the first 11 hours), flight path marker, and V speeds (but no AoA). It can transfer flight plans, but NOT to the GNS530W...

Re: uAvionix AV-30 EFIS

Appears Garmin is coming out with a AV-30 killer --https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/p/719027#overview This does AI, HSI, MFD and EIS. Could not determine basis of certification and whether it can be installed in the DA40. The site also mentions that it might be a backup EFIS as well.
