Re: At annual on DA 40 NG pedals?

The pull cord does not move the collar that I suspect allows travel of the pedals with pressure when trying to adjust. When i pull on the cable it seems stretched.

Re: DA40 NG Anomaly

That is exactly how they fixed my issue, with safety wire; no recurrences.

Is that new afm (amm) available online?

Heading south at 11,000 with TAS 155 burning 8 gallons at 92% power. Soot stains from the diesel mean regular washings are needed! Still waiting on Diam...

Re: DA40 NG in U.S.?

Thanks Eric

Very useful info

A friend of mine near here has a DA42 which had the old engines but upgraded to two Austros when they became available- Ladd who works with Stuart has that experience , so I will keep what you said in mind.

Lucky you to be getting the version VI

Thanks
