Re: WAAS upgrade woes

When my upgrade was done by Absolute Aero in KHWD they replaced both GPS antennas and used all new cabling as specified in the upgrade. Also the entire Ethernet cabling assembly that runs from the cockpit to the rack was replaced, again as specified in the upgrade work instructions. The 1K labor sou...

Re: WAAS upgrade woes

Was supposed to be available last October per their original SW upgrade announcement. Do any of the Diamond 6 have any news from Diamond? Been waiting for this upgrade patiently :( The solution to all of this is for Diamond/Garmin to certify slightly newer (2015-era) GDU Version 15 software for DA40...

Re: WAAS upgrade woes

That is why I replaced my top Com with a Comant Com/WAAS Combo. BTW, this issue would go away completely if Diamond would finally come out with its promised G1000 GDU Version 15 software for the Legacy G1000. The GDU V15 software enables the GTX345R to obtain its GPS location from the GIAs (just lik...

Re: Priorities for 2022?

Is the affordable autopilot upgrade on the agenda for the DA40 as well? Also any word on the v15 update for the DA40-180s that were upgraded to WAAS?

Thanks!

Re: Upgrade to Hartzell CF

Will the MT prop replace an aluminum Hartzell without need for a new governor or any other parts? Your new one looks awesome - that is what I wanted but just overhauled my aluminum due to price of yours (o/h a few years ago).

Re: WAAS upgrade woes

While I had some issues - they were different that you experienced and once corrected all has been mainly fine. All mine related to wiring boo boos. I would expect that your shop should have covered the GTX345 issues as that should have been a part of the upgrade/install.

Re: G1000 Legacy & NXi upgrade program

Possibly depending on lack of any further software updates or repair availability for the LRUs, etc. I could install anything already approved for the non g1000 DA40. If you look at all documentation for my era DA40 it is a steam Guage DA40 with g1000 under stc. Removing the g1000 makes it back to a...

Re: G1000 Legacy & NXi upgrade program

And the great thing about the older DA40 180 like my 2004 is that legally we can remove and replace the g1000 as it is installed under STC and is not a part of the aircraft type certificate.

Re: DA40 WAAS Upgrade Demand

I'll add that I feel my KAP 140 tracks the LPV better than the ILS.
