The fuel hose replacement every 5 years is a recommendation, not an airworthiness requirement.David B wrote:I'm a big believer in the old adage that the squeaky wheel gets the grease. That being said, I have been on Diamonds case over this issue, and a few others, since I purchased my DA40 4 years ago. Each owner may be doing this, but if not, I strongly recommend ALL of us call, write, or e-mail Diamond about this issue and let them know that we, as customers, demand that they get this time issue changed. There is more than enough evidence to support the fact that we should not be changing out new cables with new cables. So far I've been pleased with how they respond to customer concerns, but this and the fuel hose issue need to be addressed immediately.
