KAP140 autopilot

[Guillaume AMELINE]

Hi,

I was wondering if you could consider one day building a variant of your DA40NG, equipped with a KAP140 instead of the GFC700 autopilot. It is a combination that can be seen very ofter in real life, because the KAP140 is significantly cheaper.

The KAP140 being tricky to use, I think it would be an interesting simulation platform to practice for many student pilots throughout the world.

That isn't something currently planned, but something to consider. I believe that config is much more common with the DA40 XLS and prior (non-NG variants).

Thanks for your reply. Hard to tell, but I would be interested in finding out the statistics.

In my Airclub, they have a DA40NG with KAP140 + G1000.

In the private flying school next door they have 2 DA40D,  2 DA42 with TAE125 engines and 2 simulators with that same cockpit layout.
