Re: Engine failure on Astro DA42-VI

Yes it did, when we did the shut down. So are you saying it only did that when you put the master OFF and not autofeathered immediately by itself when the problem occurred? Yes it is correct.

Re: WANTED: Airborne image of DA42NG-VI

When we bought our new DA42-VI back in 2013, it was the first "dash six" in North America. As a result, it was featured in AOPA Pilot magazine's cover article, and also by Plane & Pilot magazine. For both articles, we flew formation with A36 Bonanzas with the rear door removed for air...

Re: Transitioning to DA42 questions

Hi Dave; Coming from Seminole, I usually pitch slightly nose up +/ 5 degree during the flare. However, I bounced using the same technique at 80-ish KIAS (short final) on that DA42. Any tip? How much pitch do I flare? Thank you so much. ................ 4. The nice thing is that the DA42 trailing-li...

Re: DA42NG-VI Checklist

Every tried using MiraCheck, without the voice recognition? just checked it out! Incredible idea, but I guess until it reaches the level of voice assistance from futuristic movies I'd find it not so practical in real world application :-( Used a similar simpler app though for flying in an Extra as ...

DA42NG-VI Checklist

Screenshot 2022-10-05 at 19.05.23.png As much as I enjoyed learning on the DA42NG-VI, I did not find the checklist format particularly user friendly or not super smoothly flowing... So, as I have done something like that before for a piper and found it a great way to truly learn the aircraft inside...

WANTED: Airborne image of DA42NG-VI

Hello, I am looking for a nice ideally airborne image of a DA42NG-VI. I have created a checklist in the past for another aircraft as a good one simply did not exist. Diamond checklists are good content wise, but I still prefer an easy to flip staggered pages format and am looking for a nice image th...
