Re: DA40 NG Market Today

Is Diamond’s customer abuse strategy finally having consequences?

Re: GTX345R

First and most important, the attached SB from 2019 unambiguously states that there is a bug. The MFD is not displaying all targets once there are more than 200 within range. I can't find the document, but my memory is that the range is a 150nm radius from the plane.
