Diamond DA40 NG
When you fly the Diamond DA40 NG, Headingstar's instruments mark its own speeds and limits: the airspeed arcs and V-speeds, the engine gauges' green arcs and red lines. Typical published figures; the aircraft's handbook is the reference.

In the simulator
The Hub uses this profile when the simulator's aircraft title contains DA40. The rules are tried in order, so the first that matches wins. To use another profile, set the device's ENGINE in the Hub to it instead of auto.
