Re: Austro support in Salina Kansas?

I had similar symptoms on my LH engine last year. ECUs would alert if I went over 90% or thereabouts (i.e. on take-off roll). Diagnosed the over-boost with the dongle and determined that the waste gate actuator wasn't, er, actuating. Ordered new part from DSC, local mechanic swapped it out, and the ...

Re: ICAO Equipment, Surveillance, PBN for G1000 NXI

Thanks for the references. The amount of time I've sunk into trying to get these codes correct is eye-watering. A couple of comments/questions: You have D2 listed under PBN on the screenshot, but not the post text. I believe it should be included. I have O2 listed under my PBN based on earlier searc...

Re: New owner insurance rates on DA42 NG?

I'll move it to the DA42 forum.

I did hear from Assured this past year that there were fewer underwriters for this class of airplane. Mine got moved to Starr Aviation this time around.

Re: New owner insurance rates on DA42 NG?

Wow, $65k seems really excessive to me. When I purchased my DA42, I had around 750 hours total with no ME time. However, my instructor had over 100 hours of DA42 time. The premium was $15k in November of 2020, which I thought was exhorbitant at the time. Can you find out from the agent what levers w...

Re: DA62 oil consumption

I was just browsing these old threads about oil consumption the other day. It seems like 1-2 quarts every 100 hours is normal for both the DA42 and DA62, with some outliers reported.
