It's awesome and lets you play out scenarios I'd never want to do in real-life light GA. Carrier landing, check. 0/0 landings... 50 knot crosswinds... The models that I'm familiar with seem close enough. (Sans avionics.) Best x-plane moment: introduced my wife to it and she did far...

Thanks, appreciate it.

Hello all - I'm looking to do some block time leasing to a local pilot (CFII) and was looking for some pointers. We've got insurance worked out, as well as rates, scheduling, philosophies, etc. Last thing, really, is to work out a lease agreement. Basically "non-equity partnership." Does...

Based at HEF. Agree that 2W5 is a better choice for where you're going. Only better would be Potomac or Hyde, but FRZ silliness. Traffic's horrific out here. Office is 11 miles from home. It'll take somewhere between 15 and 50 minutes to make the trip. :yikes: The major interstates here...

The plane's been certified in Europe with NA pending. The EASA docs are online in the usual places. Unlike nearly everyone else, Diamond posts the AFM and AMM online. Here's the link to the AFM & AMM: http://support.diamond-air.at/da62+M52087573ab0.html Selected items I found interesting...

Have you ever dropped it? Why are you selling? I've had that brand recommended to me before but am debating this versus Reiff.

You get a great view of ORD and MDW operations when overlying that class B. ATC wasn't giving VFR flight following to anyone below the bravo, but as soon as they confirmed that I was overflying the bravo they were all of a sudden willing to talk! The folks at Chicago just requested that I...

It's been too long since I've done php... but you may wish to consider a really good IDE to help you out. I really like JetBrains' products. Here's a PHP one they have: http://www.jetbrains.com/phpstorm/ . I use their java and python product. I'm sure there's a free offering out there as...

That's what the DA42 is for. :D *dreams* The DA42 & SR22T appear to be in the same ballpark. They both have roughly the same capital (new & used) and variable operating cost according to Conklin & de Decker. (broad strokes here...) Cirrus SR20 G3 GTS $163 Cirrus SR22 G5...

A drill for the hole in the head you'll wish you had after the first unexpected major bill where you accidentally look away from what the mechanic is doing at the annual... :dunno: Make sure you set aside mx reserves, pre-populate an account with a reserve if you can, and keep your wallet...

What audio panel do you have? I tried listening to it once in mine (g1000 + gdl69a) and gave up as it sounded like the audio was going through a tin potato. Sounded similar when I flew a 172 with a g530 and some other random garmin audio panel. The bluetooth audio over the zulu.2 was...

There ain't no such thing as a free lunch... what's the catch?

Well, like all things, "it depends." In this particular case, the DA40-180 Vne, as per the AMM, is 178 KIAS. The speed tape on the G1000 also marks Vne on indicated air speeds. Diamond's flight test group also flight tested the airframe much higher than that (200+ kias), but I can't find the...

I'm going to disagree with this. Both the DA20 and DA40 have a castering nose wheel, and it's /very/ easy to get the tail swinging. I have my XLS in a 45' hangar. One of my hangar neighbors has theirs in a 48'. I tried putting mine in a 42' once (effectively 41' because door locking...

I had some new Duracell alkaline batteries give up the ghost in my Zulu.2 - the battery acid melted the plastic casing and the battery retaining clip. It still worked, but was a mess internally. Overnighted it to them, out of warranty, and they sent it back a week or two later, no charge...

You may want to try doing an "Internet Recovery." It'll let you know if your disk drive(s) is(are) bad, or if it's something worse. (Your second screenshot makes me thing it may have already tried this by itself, and failed...) HT201314 - "OS X: About OS X Recovery"...
