Re: G1000 wants to overwrite active database with old one

You should be able to format the SD card as FAT32 using the Mac. Open the Disk Utility app, choose the SD card from the "External" list on the left hand side, select "Erase", and choose "MS-DOS (FAT)" from the format menu. Of course, you'll have to re-install all of the...

Re: DA62 USB Ports

I would be pleasantly surprised to learn that they support the PD spec. Most of the after-market ones I've seen are 15W (5V @ 3A). I'd love to get 25W or more.

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 ...

I have 8.33 kHz spacing disabled via the menus since the US uses 25 kHz spacing. So I've left it off the ICAO list. If I ever fly the DA42 to Europe, I'll re-enable it and add it back.

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.
