DA40 TDI Range?
Does anyone know the range for the DA 40 TDI. Did find a number of 741nm, at 60%, but is this number with or without the 45 min extra fuel?
What is the range at 70% power setting?
Kindest Regards,
Erik

With standard tanks 741nm
With long range tanks 1,083nm
At 10,000 feet.
I believe this is without reserves.

As you observed, the quoted ranges are at 10,000 ft, but you'd struggle to fly any distance at that altitude in Western Europe without busting airspace.
Last summer, I flew a DA40TDI 390 nm from Avignon to Caen in 3.25 hrs, mostly at flight level 65. Fuel used was 21 usg and no oil. In UK motoring terms, that's a ground speed of 138 mph at 25 mpg.
