Re: New Owner - advice on configuration
ADS-B transponders actively transmit their 1090ES packets once per second without being interrogated. This is also true of the 978UAT devices. This so that the traffic detection can fully operate in remote areas where there are neither radar facilities nor ADS-B towers. Rich, You sure? I looked for...

Re: New Owner - advice on configuration
To clarify. The GTX345R broadcasts on 1090 with Extended Squitter (ES). The ES effectively means the GTX345R is including the position and ADS-B data in the 1090 Mode-C broadcast message. Other planes are very likely doing the same. In addition, the GTX345R receives both the 1090 and 978 UAT signals...

Re: Delta Hawk DHK180
But there was a distinct separation between the companies. To really take this distinction seriously I would ask: 1) Who sits on the BOD of the two companies? 2) What other airframe manufacturer uses Austro engines? Well, I went and looked. Based on the websites, Austro is no longer separate. So li...

Re: Delta Hawk DHK180
Most of us use DAI and Austro interchangeably. However, they are separate companies, in fact a few years ago before DAI was sold, DAi's stake was 1/3 or 2/3 I forget which. Not sure of the status now. But there was a distinct separation between the companies.
No idea if this is still true today.

Re: Tanis engine heater for Lycoming: Love it or not?
I have had Reiff and Tannis on different planes.
The only differences I could tell was:
1. Reiff was cheaper (a lot)
2. When a CHT sensor died, it took a few minutes longer to swap with Tannis.

Re: Lithium Battery pack in the airplane
I only use smaller LiOn battery packs from large name brands to reduce the chance of a short circuit due to poor QA or manufacturing. If I was to get a larger one, I would buy a Lithium battery fire bag and keep the battery in there. LiOn batteries have thermal runaway events that start when chargin...

Re: DA42 vs BeechA36 or Cirrus for long distance
I have demoed and flown in a DA-42 a number of times. I have owned a SR20 and SR22, and spent a lot of time in Bonanzas. For travel outside of the USA, the DA-42 wins every single time from a fuel availability standpoint. From a comfort perspective, a SR22 is if not the loudest SEP in the mass marke...

Re: G1000 NXi Phase III
@pietromarx There is an upgrade paths available for some G1000 planes: https://www.garmin.com/en-US/aviation/G1000-NXi-flight-deck-upgrade-for-select-cessna-piston-singles/ So far, neither Diamond nor Garmin has addressed this issue. My understanding is that Textron worked with Garmin to due the STC...

Re: DA62 Options Selection
Mine is in production now (so I'm told), and didn't order the preheater. My dealer said it's a waste of money since the engines start in temps down to something like -20°F or some crazy low temp, without preheat. I live in Reno and when I returned home from Scottsdale this afternoon it was 35 degre...

Re: DA62 Options Selection
I prefer Reiff over Tanis based on price, warranty and ease of installation. But basically, unless if you only fly in Texas and avoid the cold snaps a couple weeks long each year, a pre-heat system makes sense for most of us.
