Re: 2023 DA40NG fuel pump ECU failures and fuel tank sensor issues

Then displaying a yellow X at other points in time. This is while the aircraft is on the ground not moving, as well as in the air. A yellow X over the fuel level on the engine page means there is a loss of signal from the sensor. That sounds like a bad connection or sensor. There is/was a change in...

Re: 2023 DA40NG fuel pump ECU failures and fuel tank sensor issues

While investigating both issues in the pattern at my home airport, I at one point received an audio 'low fuel' warning. While I was confident I had fuel in both tanks and both were in balance, I could have had a fuel leak or something else, so I landed and had them both topped off which amounted to...

Re: Unable to enable Pilot 3D Audio

Diamond did not enable it in the default G1000 configuration so it cannot be enabled from the AUX pages. You have to modify the G1000 configuration. The general instructions are in this thread. Use caution, and be very careful what you change. https://www.diamondaviators.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=98...

Let's hope phase 3 doesn't take much longer now.
But according to my DSC, the work instructions (WI-OSB 62-047) document has not been released. The work instructions contain the list of parts that must be ordered, so the waiting continues.

What I've read from AOPA says the opposite. It says there is no statistical difference in accident rates for older pilots.

Re: IFR notepad for students and the experienced

I have a similar template for every day of flying. I fill most of it out before each flight which then also puts me through a review of the airports, W&B, speeds, etc. I pre-fill my expected clearance, though of course that isn't always the clearance I receive. It collects everything I need for ...
