Re: Lightspeed Delta Zulu

I decided to check CO history. It peaked somewhere at 8 PPM. But it never shows that high when I check it in flight. I'm guessing it happened sometime when idling on the ground where the exhaust isn't ripped away with the slipstream. With my keyfob CO sensor I would see it peak when I opened the ca...

Re: Diamond Pilots Association 2023 Survey

I am also surprised that, in this day and age, with email and social media, there was a need to mail out post cards. Can you provide reliable email addresses or any other form of digital contact of owners? Just a reminder, physical address is something that every owner has to have, however we think...

Re: DA62 USB Ports

The problem with using iPad as a kneeboard is moving head down and up. In IMC when you’re cross checking approach plates it can be confusing if not dangerous. iPad in field of view (glare shield or attachment mounted) is much better solution for various reasons, cooling included. Where do you keep ...

Re: DA62 USB Ports

Canopy mounts that allow the air vent to cool the back of the iPad (or perhaps the kneeboard mounts with built-in fans) likely avoid this. I also use a Mini 6 as a kneeboard. I use the My Clip strap which leaves 90% of the iPad exposed to ambient air, but as Paul writes, direct sun will still cause...

Re: Diamond China announce its own 'independently designed' domestic aircraft diesel engine, the 'AEC2.0L'
