I agree 100% with all the points made by @dmloftus. Regarding the DA40 as a traveling machine, I've flown mine more than 2500 hours in the past 7 years, including four international adventures each of >8000 miles.

The just-released 2022 shipment numbers: 239 Diamond 629 Cirrus 199 C172/C182

Latest full year report 2021: Diamond shipped 240 aircraft worldwide in CY 2021. For perspective... Cirrus shipped 528.

I update my DA40/G1000 exactly as Mark describes. Once I bring the NAV card home, I upload the "data log" files (flights since the previous month) to Savvymx.com for a comprehensive analysis of engine performance. Wayne

The ForeFlight app has you covered for an e-Checklist, and much much (ok, I could put 100 "muches" here) more.

I agree 100+%!! In our instrument training we waste hours and hours -- and even more brain cells -- on entries into the Hold. Once you have the rating, the entry matters exactly 0%... you just remain on the protected side of the hold (so nicely painted on our panel GPS and/or iPad) and within...

Yes, they used to... and I prefer those trend vectors. As ForeFlight indicates in the release notes "This new source brings more reliability and stability, and we will be working to bring additional functionality in the coming months. Stay tuned for future updates" ... hopefully, the trend...

@GeorgiaPilot1021, not pertinent to your question on specific XP aircraft, but perhaps useful for your instrument training... I recently put together this Primer on IFR with X-Plane. DM me if you have questions or suggestions. bit.ly/wam-ifr-x-plane-primer Wayne

Correct... oh, and he was also full-CDI-deflection to the left of the runway centerline. Re-created above in X-Plane 12.

Just checked with my Frankencessna friend… C210 wings (field approval).

I know he has oversized wings; perhaps from a 206 or strutted 210?

In a similar style, I have a good friend also with a "slightly modified yet still certified" C172... started life as an early 60s C172, converted to a taildragger, wings swapped for C182 wings, and a Franklin 225hp engine. Climbs like crazy!

If you're using X-Plane there is a toga command... you just then connect that command to a key or button.

In our previous episode we flew three enjoyable legs to arrive in the southern Baja. Today, we get to work at the free healthcare clinic. Welcome aboard! Wayne, GeezerGeek Pilot

Today we’re off to the Baja along with four other planes… to deliver a free healthcare clinic. Welcome aboard! Wayne, GeezerGeek Pilot

^^ This ^^ Your only solid chance for smooth air is to land by noon, e.g.: -- Day 1: KCMA to KBOI, depart 6am, (probably a fuel stop en-route), arrive before noon -- Day 2 (or if, and only if, you're lucky, evening of Day 1): KBOI, depart 7am, arrive KGPI before noon (and of course, no...

@Brad W, glad you enjoyed the series... so did I :). Thanks, Wayne
