Re: MSB-E4-034 High Pressure Fuel Pump driving gear
Is this also the supposed and never communicated cause of the IMC engine out of a training DA40 NG in NY in October of 2020 that happily returned to land safely under exemplary CFI response? I think Diamond is failing both mechanically and through poor communications and puts its brand equity at ...

Re: ECU Failure Errors in Flight
This happened to me in a 2019 DA 40 NG. My A&P checked and confirmed the failure of the waste gate controller which he replaced and it solved the issue going forward. He expects these failures on all Austro engines because of the poor design of the waste gate. He takes care of over a dozen NG's for ...

Re: Flight schools with a DA40 fleet
Hi Kal
I would recommend Blue Line Aviation in Raleigh (soon to be relocated as a company/operation largely to KJNX about 30 miles away where a massive new training center is being built and is soon to be opened, plus BBQ Restaurant...!). I completed my private and instrument ratings with BL and ...

Re: DA40NG Lost Engine in IMC
Unfortunately I can't make it to OSH this year but maybe someone who is there can find out from the Diamond staff onsite what the story is on this 9-month old yet-to-be-communicated issue...

Re: Considering New DA40 "NG"
All I would add is that the flipside of strong new NG pricing is the strong aftermarket sales support. Just sold my 2019 DA40 NG and received 94% net purchase price back on sale after 20 months of ownership and 375 TT. Hopefully this dealer-led market support continues into the future

Re: DA40NG Lost Engine in IMC
They replaced the engine ... the engine in question was shipped to Austro a while back.
I tracked down and spoke to the pilot. He has not yet heard why/what happened. He still has confidence in the NG engine...
I was told by LifeStyle a few weeks ago that Austro had communicated a response ...

Re: Best Way to Sell a 40 NG
Thanks Dave. Very good points for consideration
How did you proceed with selling your plane?
I decided to broker it and completed the transaction last week. A very good experience for me and happy to refer details for any who are interested.
Now, what to buy and where to secure a hangar ...
