Re: G1000 NXi Phase III
from the feature list on page 1, what is "Barometric Altitude Preselect Mode" ?
Do we know if the "Data Logging" improvements will include fuel in the Aux Tanks or TKS levels?

Re: G1000 NXi Phase III
When you are descending from the flight levels with the altimeter in standard, you can pre-select the altimeter that you need to use after the transition level. When you get there, you just press the baro button and it switches. It's useful, especially if the transition level is low and you'll be busy around there.
In North America, where the transition level is always FL180, you'd almost never use it.

Re: G1000 NXi Phase III
Does anybody know what is the current status or timeline for the G1000 NXI Phase III software in the DA62?
I know back in November Diamond issued a note on the page below as follows:
"As things currently stand, we are aiming to complete Garmin G1000 NXi Phase III implementation for all applicable airframes within the end of Q2/2023."

Re: G1000 NXi Phase III
I heard they decoupled the GWX 75 radar from phase III, to certify it faster. For me, that implies we’ll wait quite a bit more for phase III, sadly.

Re: G1000 NXi Phase III
I heard possibly the end of the year for Phase III, everything dependent upon Transport Canada. It was the same situation with Phase II and perhaps our attention should focus rather more on bombarding Transport Canada. Thankfully, the DA50 is with the Austrian authorities.

Re: G1000 NXi Phase III
I was at Diamond Canada a few weeks ago (picked up DA40NG) and asked specifically about Phase III, and yes Transport Canada is what Diamond is waiting for. Transport Canada reps were at the factory and I joked if I could go ask them about Phase III --- I think Diamond shares the same frustration, but has to walk a fine line too. There was some discussion about decoupling the radar that had been done, which seemed to help move things faster either for radar or phase III, or both. I didn't quite understand the reasoning. However it still seemed like it could be any day for approval.

Re: G1000 NXi Phase III
FYI, one of the most useful features of NXi Phase III software (which I'm fortunate enough to have installed on my Epic E1000 with NXi) and coming for Diamonds is *animated* NEXRAD for SiriusXM weather. The MFD map shows the most recent 3-4 NEXRAD images, and repeatedly cycles quickly thru them -- so you can watch storms grow or shrink, and easily see (extrapolate) where bad weather is heading. Sadly this Phase III animation feature is not available with free ADS-B/FIS-B NEXRAD for those who lack optional GDL69A SXM units in their aircraft.
Separately, for what might be coming from Garmin after NXi Phase III, take a look at this demo video from Oshkosh last week showing Garmin's autoland/autothrottle operating on a King Air with G1000 NXi. Ignoring autoland and autothrottle, at the 3:00 minute mark you'll see G1000 NXi displaying a new 3D view of taxiways and runways on the PFD while taxiing on the ground -- a view that goes way beyond today's runway-only synthetic vision (SVT). Very cool...

Re: G1000 NXi Phase III
The taxi view is really interesting indeed. Gulfstream has had that for a while.
I have animated Nexrad on the Cirrus, which is really cool indeed. ForeFlight has that with ADS-B, so I don't miss it that much on the DA62.
What I really miss is visual approaches.

Re: G1000 NXi Phase III
I also asked about Phase III at OSH and didn’t get much more visibility other than “by the end of 2023.” I agree that visual approaches is perhaps the most useful of the features but I am also looking forward to the GWX8000. It was also interesting to see autothrottles and autoland for the King Air with the most recent NXi software, although I’m not entirely sure how cost-effective either of those will be for the Diamond twins or whether DAI will pursue them (or whether Transport Canada could approve them in under 10 years anyway…).
Cheers

Re: G1000 NXi Phase III
I'd happy if they released rudder bias at least. Garmin has that for the King Airs. With the YD servo, it's just software.
