Re: Cirrus Grounds SR22’s
The rough estimate posted in COPA which was apparently provided by CMI is expected the max number of planes affected will be 1000; with expectations that only in the high 600s will have to be inspected, and then possibly mitigated.

Per COPA, CMI notified Cirrus, and Cirrus notified all new owners and COPA of an installation issue of a pin holding the counter weights. If the pin comes off, the counter weights could come loose and fly off through the case, causing the engine to seize. The issue affects engines made after June 1s...

Re: AE300 Cost
Attached is the letter from Austro about TBR and cost. I never understood why they remained with iron block when they changed policy to TBR. They could switch to aluminium and save some weight for increased payload. Time and Money. Theilert (now CMI), engines were aluminum, but the company spent ye...

Re: NG vs XLT in light of Austro MSB
Keep in mind over many decades Lycoming and Continental and various shops have produced, maintained and overhauled engines of these types several hundreds of thousands of times.

Re: New MSB about to be issued
Attached is a screen shot from the presentation (which they may or may not make available) that they expect the MSB to be ratified by EASA in around a month and the AD 2-3 weeks later. Thanks!

Re: New DA62 owner but not PPL yet
I met a student pilot from Europe years ago. He found it was cheaper to come to the USA for a series of intensive/dedicated flying trips to complete his training than do it in Europe. If I recall correctly, he came over for three weeks stints for to get his PPL then IR. The MEL add-on was a one week...
