Re: Shutting up the gear warning while OEI
The previous owner of N157DA never shutdown the engine in flight and neither have I... I've also heard of too many gearbox and governor issues. I'll do this on a training aircraft and not the one I use to fly my family with.

Re: Newbie Question 1 - Flaps UP takeoff

Re: GDL 69A in New DA62
I have the 69A and the wx radar in my 62 and I use both. The radar give you a good view of the wx and groud clutter ahead of you and the SXM radio is nice for getting a good picture of not just wx radar from ground stations, but also all the other weather products provided. And occasionally some SXM...
