VOR audio communications (is that even still a thing?)

I remember getting ATIS this way at some airport in France (I don’t remember which one).

It's great that everyone is ok, I hope we'll get some info about sudden loss of power that led to crash landing.

Really disappointing numbers - my DA42 with CD-155 engines beats it in every aspect except in useful load. I don't see any market for it with that range (what's real range when flying 181 KTAS at FL160?), probably not so fast if you want range (I guess 150 KTAS), single engine, no chute.

I don’t think DA42 would benefit from CD-170. CD-170 is heavier than CD-155, has lower critical altitude (6000 ft vs 8000 ft) and lower TBR (1200 vs 2100) while having practically same continuous power.

I am the reverse of Paul. The iPad remains north up, the G1000 maps are all track up.

Same here - G1000 track up, iPad north up.

I always land with full flaps. Up to max demonstrated crosswind.

Hello there...Please can you tell me the "max demonstrated crosswind" that it is writen in the AFM.I think there is no number for Landing Flaps (only UP& APP

20 kts - Page 5-9 of AFM, Rev. 8

If DA42 is equipped with GFC700, I don’t see much difference, especially for the training purposes.

Yes, infrared images are there. However, tbh I never managed to derive useful information from the way the grayscale data is displayed on the G1000. But then, it might just be me... ADL shows infrared image with four colors - light gray, dark grey, blue and cyan, each corresponding with certain ran...

Thanks for the info. It wasn’t the case in the past and it’s not specified at GSR56 web page.

There are two main advantages at ADL side for GA pilot flying in Europe: 1. ADL (unlike GSR56) shows infrared imagery which is used to determine cloud tops. Combining it with radar images and looking them separately you can better understand weather phenomena in front of you. E.g. even heavy precipi...
