    New case against flight tracking

    To me, this is a non-issue. Anyone can use a service to track an ADS-B flight path but looking up the tailnumber does not yield anyone's address unless they have chosen to make it public. Moreover, if there were an address, it would not be Ms. Swifts unless she had taken active steps to make her...

    Anyone here flying a DA-40 with G-1000?

    I I liked the checklist feature in the previous software versions. The default list was good and you could customize the text file it reads to meet your preferences.

    Anyone here flying a DA-40 with G-1000?

    It does seem more like DIamond than Garmin @midlifeflyer because it was eventually worked out with other manufacturers. I'm not familiar with the inaccurate totalizer issue. Which sub-model DA-40 is this? On my SN 40.876, when I pay attention to the filling level and remember to reset it at...

    Anyone here flying a DA-40 with G-1000?

    UPDATE: It looks like 031.23 reintroduces the checklist. That's as far as I need to go with this aircraft if anyone has a copy of that.

    Anyone here flying a DA-40 with G-1000?

    Thanks all. It looks like there are a few DA-40 guys hanging around. I asked because I'm running software revision 031.22 on a 2008 XLS that I'm bringing up to speed on a few g1000issues. Version 031.22 dropped the checklist, which I like, and I wondered if anyone had a copy of whichever...

    Oil burn...What are your numbers?

    Depends on how much oil I keep in the crankcase, more so in my 500 hour TTSN IO-360 than my old 1,200 hour TSIO-360. For local and regional flights, the sweet spot for fill in my IO-360 is 4.5 quarts. More than that ends up on the belly in an hour. With a 4.5 quart fill, I estimate my burn to be...

    City of Portage trying to close AIrport C47

    It is great that you guys have been able to maintain S43 for all these decades. Congratulations are in order, especially considering that the thresholds of many privates are now X-ed out. The glib answer I suppose goes to comparative efficiency but studies in analogous situations always fail to...

    SR20 v DA40

    You will see a number of issues on which opinions differ. The more consistent differences include: SR20 is much roomier SR20 may be faster (DA40 is faster in my experience; consider them identical) SR20 has a chute (controversial value add but expensive maintenance either way) SR20 has...

    Need help. Searching for a 200+ kt cruise, 6 seats, +/- 300K.

    Since cost is a factor (and low), I'm guessing that total cost of ownership would be factored in. If so, I don't see an aircraft that meets all of your criteria. Some used Glassairs meet all but the six passenger requirement and have low operating costs for their performance. A Cherokee Six...
