Re: G1000 NXi Phase III
Any updates on this? Are the DA-62s on schedule to receive the Phase III upgrade on 3/31/2022?

No updates from Diamond. Still waiting patiently for them to schedule our next meeting.

Re: G1000 NXi Phase III
My plane is in for its annual right now… since it’s April, I had them inquire about the Phase III upgrade. The response was:

I did speak with someone from Diamond about this today. This person said that there is no official date yet. He believes that is going to be closer to the end of the year.

Re: G1000 NXi Phase III
To Russ, Paul, and others patient enough to interact with Diamond on behalf of DAN...many many (many) thanks! (I feel your pain...despite having only had to deal with them for a short time as a new owner with a temperamental DA40NG...my first and last Diamond).

Re: G1000 NXi Phase III
Trying to find the right DA40 NG to buy for myself now... How do I determine if the hardware that is present in the plane I buy (looking at a 2021 right now) has what is necessary for this Phase iii upgrade? What is the typical charge? And especially if I want to add the levelling button?

Re: G1000 NXi Phase III
Any DA40NG with NXi Phase II hardware will be able to run Phase III software without any hardware upgrades. Just look for the newer GMA 1360 audio panel with Bluetooth for evidence of Phase II.
The only feature missing will be the blue Level button -- which can optionally be added to the instrument panel after Phase III software becomes available.

Re: G1000 NXi Phase III
There is no charge from Diamond/Garmin for the software. Your avionics shop will charge you an hour or two of labor to install the update. Installing the Level button would probably be a couple more hours and a switch.hifiaudio2 wrote: ↑Fri May 06, 2022 9:55 pm Trying to find the right DA40 NG to buy for myself now...

Re: G1000 NXi Phase III
Exactly. Call it regulatory scent marking. It is very similar to the ADS-B diversity issue. If they don’t do something different, they have a existential crisis. So they try to come up with a new angle, and spend lots of time doing it.Ed McDonald wrote: ↑Tue Nov 23, 2021 8:17 pm …' This is all political as TC cannot offer any better insight to what the FAA or Boeing can but once again they feel compelled to "put their stamp" on it. …
