Re: Honest Opinion Request
The OP’s question is tough and it’s hard to give straight answer. Just a few comments from my side. There are both 135hp and 155hp versions of the engines, and I suspect, but don’t know for certain, that a CD-135 airplane can be upgraded to CD-155 in lieu of an overhaul. CD-135 -> CD-155 upgrade req...

Re: 2023 DA42 VI for sale
Out of curiosity, does SF50 feature the same spring-loaded side stick as SR22 or it's something more sophisticated?Nikandsteve wrote: ↑Sun Apr 07, 2024 5:54 am The SF50 w/chute and safe return was a no brainer for our mission w/all maintenance covered under Jet Stream and with so much SR22T time it was an easy transition.

Re: Above FL180
Obviously performance reduces but not dramatically and I believe that -VI still operates fine, having in mind that DA62 (with practically same engines) is certified to FL200. I’ve flown DA42TDI (CD-155) few times above FL180 due to icing conditions below and while it’s not optimal, it’s still ok. I ...

Re: Prop Damage
The procedure is coming from somewhere, just wondering where. Strange stuff can come from various sources, some can be passed over generations of instructors although they are absolutely wrong. My favorite one is a myth of ice bridging on pneumatic deicing boots. It used to be problem on very first...

Re: Prop Damage
…static run up at takeoff to check for max power… Why would you do this on normal takeoff if there’s sufficient runway available for stop in case loss of power / no sufficient power developed during ground run? Does everyone runup power to max before brake release? Only for short field takeoff.

Re: Austro engine reliability and safety
Quoting witnesses: The conditions at the airport at the time of the crash included overcast clouds at 1,200 feet, 1 ¾ miles visibility in light snow and gusting winds, the report says. Two witnesses who watched the plane depart told investigators that it did so during a period of heavy snowfall, ac...
