Re: DA50 base MSRP Guesstimate

Customer support is the 800 lbs. gorilla in the room. Diamond shows nothing that I would consider substantial definitive progress in that direction. When you have customer support everything else will follow. Until that’s there, forget it. Nothing else will help.

Re: New Waste Gate Controller AD for AE300

It still seems like a really difficult way to fix a really simple problem regardless of who’s making them, how many were made, or where they come from especially considering how critical failure is when it happens. A 250 hr.recurring AD for a part this critical yet this simple would not give me the ...

Re: New Waste Gate Controller AD for AE300

That being said, it’s pretty easy to see where Diamond has been, where it is going and what to expect regarding ongoing customer support. There are no surprises here. Wishing an...

There’s nothing wrong with a Janitrol heater as long as it is maintained properly. Kind of like everything else on airplanes.
