Re: DA42 v Baron

Lesson being, that we always think the other plane is less maintenance and running costs, until we own it?

Re: DA42 v Baron

How did you spec one out with all the modern gadgets? most of the ones I've seen listed for sale are fitted with outdated avionics.

Re: DA42 v Baron

Thanks, I think the Cirrus v DA42 comparison is useful. My specific choices mentioned are both sub $400,000 planes, so similar acquisition prices. I have not been considering the turboed Cirrus, although it sounds like I should be. The jetprop is out due to the higher cost, as is a DA42 VI. As an as...

Re: DA42 v Baron

Yes it's a serious question. I considered all the options with my first plane and bought a Diamond, I am now doing the same with my second. I didn't consider this to be a fanboy website, supposed most of us owners have made choices and considered other manufacturers, so I am interested in the though...

I'm wondering what others who have ot...

I'm far from expert relative to other forum participants but, in my limited experience, the restricted areas were a good deal less work than I was anticipating from reviewing the charts in advance of flying. I did several days of my flying on weekdays and, thanks largely to the pro-active nature of ...

Re: another tour de france

I'm in a 2003 pre-g1000, so not sure. I have logs from my garmin aera 795 which I have uploaded to skydemon, might be able to do something with them?

Re: another tour de france

I certainly agree on how pleasant the ATC is in France. It was quite an eye opener being treated well and with respect after doing most of my early flying in the UK where they seem to regard GA traffic as a nuisance or they don't really offer much service... basic service :). It was great to get up ...
