Re: GWX75 is certified
Some of us got the airplane provisioned for the radar, waiting for certification. I got the radar already, but the shop is booked.

Re: GWX75 is certified
I picked up my Canadian DA62, Ser # C062 on Friday in London, Ontario. I have the GWX75 installed. According to the factory I was the second one installed.
Finished my transition training on Saturday, but not without issue as an un-clearable ECU fault kept the plane at my dealer.
Only played with the radar a little as we crossed Lake Erie into Ohio. Seemed to pick up a few cells on a clear day, but I'm sure I didn't have something set correctly.
I will give a more in-depth review when I get the plane back.

Re: GWX75 is certified
I'm also in the queue for a GWX75 and plan to take this Garmin course to learn how to use it.

Re: GWX75 is certified
Great. Can you ask them how much work it was? Like in hours, difficulty, etc.
My shop doesn’t believe in Diamond’s 2-hour estimate.

Re: GWX75 is certified
Thanks in advance - it would be good to know the service time for me too. I’m likely to wait until my annual in early December but even so …

Re: GWX75 is certified
For the GWX75, I can't find an AFM supplement on the Diamond tech pubs website, or a Garmin user manual anywhere on the web. There are bootleg copies for most Garmin products on the web with enough searching, but I can't find anything for the GWX75.
If anyone has this installed, would you please let us know what support materials, AFM supplement, manuals, etc. you received? And if they are in digital form, perhaps share?

Re: GWX75 is certified
Thank you.
FWIW, the Garmin $150 training course is of questionable value. This YouTube video, and this DAN thread are the place to start.

Re: GWX75 is certified
Correction: I meant the Garmin manual for the DA50, not the AFM.
