Re: That innocuous foam cover

According to this interview with Dr. Brent Blue, microphone covers should be dipped in a 10% bleach solution and then left to air dry. I assume this would mostly apply well before a pilot or passenger switch is made. It might also now be handy to carry extra mic covers in the age of COVID-19, along ...

Re: Flood of Used Diamonds?

In the very early stages, twelve of these Falcon Aviation aircraft signed the G1000 petition - 7 DA42's & 5 DA40's. If anyone knows what eventually happens to any of these aircraft, please advise. Thanks!

Re: The G1000 project - "The next step"

Friday afternoon (2/21/2020) we received word from CEO Scott McFadzean, asking the joint meeting at Garmin Headquarters be changed to March 25th and 26th.

Re: The G1000 project - "The next step"

Looks like a great agenda. Kudos to whomever put it together -- clearly a lot of work. Yes, indeed Peter! And without a doubt, one DAN member deserves special mention, and that would be "Boatguy". Early last year he generously gave this now long running project a much-needed shot in the a...

Re: DA40 bevore the B777X in KBFI

Last time I checked, this DA40 is operated by Galvin Flying based at BFI. Often I hear this aircraft on the same Seattle Approach frequency - as we share the last three characters of our N numbers "89Y".

Re: KAP140 / WAAS Navigator

Sandy, per your question and late here at night - I quickly entered a couple of formulas to calculate this information. As of today and according to the G1000 petition - there are approximately: 37 - DA40's and 60 - DA42's that meet this criteria (non-WAAS with a KAP140 A/P) It is highly unlikely th...
