My new DA42-V1 has a shorter range and hauls fewer lbs of people and cargo … useful load of 1,165 lbs (528 kg) in the DA42.
Radar and air condition?

Re: Play music from your iPhone?

Can I upgrade just the audio panel to Phase II? It's a little hard to justify the full cost just to get visual approaches. Phase I is dead-end. No new software releases. Ever. Phase II HW upgrade automatically means Phase III software upgrade once it's released. For free. As well as all subsequent ...

No it doesn't. SR22 G3 range 1170 NM, useful load 530 kg. DA42-VI range 1215 NM, useful load 589 kg (DA42 TDI 435 kg).

Re: DA62 or DA42

DA62 is logical choice assuming you can take capital cost difference. Of course the insurance will be a bit higher, due to higher hull value but it seems that it's less an issue than in the US. For Europe 5-seater in optimal choice because of 1999 kg MTOW and avoiding IFR route charges. It's the sam...

Re: DA62 on order or recently delivered?

The first year with my new DA42 saw two new turbos, two new oil pumps, one new current sensor and voltage regulator and a software mystery. I would say it was horrible. Paying $1M (or more) to have problems because someone used low quality parts or sloppy manufacturing. Imagine $1M car also produce...
