What is your role as pilot?
Do you fly for yourself or are your hired pilot carrying other people?

I used this aircraft for training. I swear, I've had like 3-4 ecu failures during my last month of training and my school has 20 da40's in their fleet.

I am an apprentice AG pilot. I'm learning to fly under powerlines and shit now. I love it

This is a diamond 40, the DA 20 is more like a lawn mower with wings. I've been in a DA-20 in mod turbulence. Fun shit lol

Using diesel and jet A instead of whatever you boomers use now sounded like a good idea.
Is the other certified diesel engine good?

I don't know. I've never had a problem with the engine itself, it's everything else, the ECUS, prop gov etc

I've spent some time in DA40s but they're -180s with the gas engine and CS prop. I love the things, so much easier to fly than a 172 (taxiing fucking blows though) and the school I was flying with had pretty good uptime with them, but they did seem to have a lot of trouble with their DA42NG's diesels so I'm not too surprised to hear about reliability issues with the 40NG.
