Re: Replacement Remote Switch for Artex ME406P

Update:

Re: Replacement Remote Switch for Artex ME406P

- The ELT is Artex ME406 - The part in question is listed as a kit by Artex under the number 453-0023 - The frontispiece template number is 591-3029 - The entire unit is 570-0023 - If not confusing enough, in another document supplied by Diamond, I see a 455-0023 number for the enture unit. - It mou...

Replacement Remote Switch for Artex ME406P

I have an inop (damaged) remote panel mount ELT switch that Diamond used in the early XLS series.

Artex lists the design as discontinued. Does anyone know where I can locate one of these (new or used)?

Emergency Landing in Texas

Does anyone have any details on the DA-62 emergency landing on a Texas roadway, apparently after clipping power lines shortly after takeoff? A friend who lives nearby sent news items and said that the aircraft was having trouble gaining altitude after takeoff.

The reply I got from Electroair: Rob, The FAA wants full control over this as if that is a good thing. The only battery they are going to allow, at least initially, is the battery that Electroair chose which is the TCW Technologies lithium Iron phosphate battery which is already being used in aviati...

Re: My experience with the ElectroAir ignition upgrade

Thanks Phil. The company added a link stating that they received approval for dual installations April of this year but they have not had time to put detail on their website. I do not see any specs other than the fact that a battery is required. Are we talking about a 7 amp sealed lead acid, a 10 am...

Re: REPLACEMENT FOR BACKUP AI IN G1000 DA40

Wasn't Garmin's backup AI ruled out with G1000 equipped aircraft because of code similarities or am I thinking of something else.
