1. In order to test fly a DA40 with the 155 hp Centurion, please, contact discretely the Chinese Diamond factory. I believe they still use that engine on their current production.Antoine wrote: I d love to test fly a DA40 with the 155 hp Centurion.
2 questions:
Why are you saying the NG has shorter landing distances?
And did they already annouce 2000 hours TBO?
2. Actually I wanted to say "Take-off distance, ground roll is shorter" and it is based on everything I have seen so far. A DA40 tdi takes for ever to roll, always more than 400 metres even with half tanks and the pilot only. NG has its wheels up with full load after 370 metres. Nevertheless, the NG also needs less runway for landing. The landing ground roll of the NG is of 270 metres according to their sales brochure. At the same settings the TDI needs 284 metres to stop. Not worth mentioning.
3. Nope, not announced. It is planned but not approved by the EASA yet. I confused it. Have corrected that up there again.
