No, they were steam gauge models. The DA42 (european diesel version)
with the G-1000 does have an ADF box - JAA IFR certification was delayed a bit because of it. Steve |

Are those long range tanks factory installed or do you need a ferry
permit? I am amazed about the range! With 160KTS you can fly 2400NM in 15 hrs. by using 8.7gph (no reserves). Is that realistic? Gerd |

Gerd The standard tankage is around 102 gallons. With the long-range tanks that is increased to 130 gallons. They are an integral part of the wing -- basically an extra fuel tank bay outboard of the normal fuel tanks. I believe the STC for this is held by Monroy, but the factory will do the install on a new airplance; or it can be done aftermarket. In neither case is a ferry permit required. The longest trip I could see myself planning would be CYYT-LPL which is about 1232 NM. However, once factoring in the distance to possible alternates; and possible headwinds; it'd be nice to have the extra fuel. A local surgeon took his O2 around the world. He had both the long-range tanks as well as a ferry tank. He did require the permit for the ferry tank. Ron (EPM) (N5843Q, Mooney M20E) (CP, ASEL, ASES, IA) |

... In Germany, ADFs are required for IFR training aircraft. This is different from the UK, as Peter posted. DMEs are required for IFR flying. No substitution by GPS. Yes, I know... Related question then... Some German airports (with class F) appear only to have GPS approaches, which, according to the plates, require some sort of qualification. Is there a practical way for a foreign pilot not based in Germany to get that qualification? Julian |

Julian,
Some German airports (with class F) appear only to have GPS approaches, which, according to the plates, require some sort of qualification. Is there a practical way for a foreign pilot not based in Germany to get that qualification? Excellent question. I'm just starting on my German IR, so I don't know. I believe it is a simple check out/endorsement from a CFI. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |
