Re: 200 hour price/AOG time

For me, in France I do a 200h check every year.
4 days AOG seems ok, but 9100$ is very expensive I think.

Maxi 1500€ oil and filter included here.

Re: Landing on grass with wheel fairings

Hello,

My DA40 is located on an airfield with only grass RWY and TWY and I often land on other grass RWY airfield.

I never had a problem due to clearance with the wheel fairings.

Of course, it will depend on the grass height, but I guess that the owner mows the grass.

Arnaud.

NLG-Elastomer pack inspection

Hello, I just made my 1000h visit and I decided to change the NLG elastomer on the very smart advices of some of you with the Berger-Tool ones. I also decided to change the damper rod as my mechanic told me that the one in place was a bit worn. I read somewhere that the maxi tolerance is 0,08mm of w...

Re: New DA40 owner | First Plane | what are common mistakes?

Hi, I take the advantage of my 1.000h visit to replace the 5+1 elastomer NLG spring. I don't know if it was urgent to do it because I only noticed 1mm difference on each of the 5 big and 3mm difference on the small one. This is done, I'm happy :). Do you know if the stamping on the elastomers are th...

DA40-Cockpit outside protection

Hello ! What cockpit cover do you use or recommend for our plane? Here in France we mainly have only one supplier, but I’m not satisfied the way mine is wearing… I’m hesitating to buy a new one, but not the same, so if I can have your recommendation I would help me a lot. Buying in the USA is not a ...

Re: 1000 hour inspection

Hello, I just noticed that my 1.000 visit is due in less than 30 hours, it will then be in the same time as my annual. I read the thread and noticed that the main differences with annual are bonding and rudder cable. I read carefully the maintenance checklist and when I compare an annual (200h in Fr...
