Accelerate-Stop distance (How to calculate)

If its not in the performance section then your missing a page or Diamond doesn't know how to make a twin.
 
Okay - so yeah. . . Diamond doesn't provide an accelerate-stop perf chart.

Silly. . .weird. . .and well, whatever.

So that leaves us taking our takeoff ground roll distance, adding it to our landing over a 50 ft obst. distance, and well, there is our accel-stop distance. . .

I'll take that and multiply it by 2 to give me a balanced field solution, requirement for our school is to multiply it by 1.5 though.

Maybe Diamond will put one in one of the future revisions.
 
Doesn't surprise me. Have they come out with an AD yet for the FADEC? Nothing like a light twin in which the engines are reliant on electrical power.
 
Not sure. You talking about the incident in Austria where they started both engines on ground power?

There is an AD out for that, which prohibits starting both engines on ground power. We can start one if needed, but the second engine MUST start on it's own without ground power.

Another incident I need to know about?

I have to say, I am extremely concerned about this aircraft though. Far too electric dependent.

Yeah thats what I was talking about i think. I herd Diamond was working on a AD to install a backup battery for the FADEC.
