During our road-trip through Switzerland we met up with our good friend Maurits (#2) in Locarno. He works as a flight instructor in one of the most scenic areas in the world, and took us up for a flight in the beautiful Diamond DA-40! Watch as we take-off over Lago Maggiore and spot some snow-topped mountains. Switzerland truly is breathtaking.

I absolutely love the cockpit of the diamond da 40. And with the canopy opening instead of boring doors on the side makes it much cooler!

@PaulGarthAviation 3 года назад

Brings back amazing memories. Was checked out in a DA-20. Incredibly stable and burns 3 gph, which is amazing. Transitioning to a stick was easy as well. Love your energy.

Same here. Soloed in a DA20. Loved that plane. I miss it.

Great to see you have fun in the mountains and a good choice to take a professional FI with you! 👍🏼 We flew several times out of Locarno, Lugano and Ambri, which is an amazing experience every single time. The weather out there is indeed quite challenging though, especially with the famous Föhn.

Amazing video bamby, maybe sometime in the near future you will arrive in Romania ? I am affraid my country doesn't have any G.A but maybe you have better connections then me. I kinda want to start my people and have you same journey rather then paying all money in frnt(which I don t have ) to become an F.O in an airline. I kinda want aventures and G.A to build up hrs but first need to start my PPL :) Keep up the great work :*

@steelpl 3 года назад

The moment I lashed myself on DA40 I've lost most of my interest into any other small piston single engine. I'm affraid that if I'd try myself on DA62 or 42 it would be same for multi engines ;]

@oliverracz2686 3 года назад

I did around 1000 hours instruction in the DA40, and it's such a fun little airplane! Not necessarily more utilitarian, but more fun to fly than the Cessna 172. Then I did another 1000 hours in the DA42, which is double the fun! I moved on from instructing before I had a chance to give the DA62 a ride.

@magicmagnificent8862 2 года назад

@javev1772 Год назад

Question: I just got my IFR rating in a C172 G1000, I can do my commercial in a DA40NG with the G1000Nxi. Do you think it’s a long transition to learn to fly the DA40? How’s landing compared with the 172? I’m trying to decide if I should stick with the c172 or do my commercial I’m the Diamond. Thanks.

@chrisglover1978 3 года назад

Nice! Do you need a type rating for the DA40, or does your normal single engine licence cover it?

@gippa75 3 года назад

SEP will cover. However DA40, especially the NG, requires a lot of practice. It’’s quite fast compared to say Cessna 172 (which is the other one I fly) and it’s difficult to let it slow down. It sometimes behaves more like a liner rather than a SEP

Why using "Sheriff" for the phonetic of "S" instead of the ICAO standard of "Sierra"?

@zachary3352 3 года назад

I believe she is saying Sierra, just with a different pronunciation, so it sounds like "Sherra".

@alexanderbogander2671 3 года назад

What altitude was the airfield? It would be interesting to make sense of his ‘go-ahead’ limit

@gippa75 3 года назад

It’s quite low actually, 650 ft. However downwind is at 2’000 ft if you have fixed gear. However, flying over lago maggiore at 6’000 and crossing the alps at 10’000 or 12’000 (max 30’!!!) is quite normal. It’s also challenging because Milan Malpensa is just around the corner.

@alexanderbogander2671 3 года назад

@@gippa75 so he said below 1000ft AGL you land straight ahead? That seems a bit 'extreme'! I think if I was above 500ft and I had an engine failure I would still do a 180 and land downwind. Maybe the terrain doesn't suit this though. I also realise it is a training flight, so he is going to set conservative limits

@gippa75 3 года назад

@@alexanderbogander2671 Below 1000ft we land on water, same in Lugano. This is SOP. The area is very peculiar as there’s a lot of wind, I myself landed with G35kt and I also lost 1000ft for windshear during approach (luckily I approached at 4’000ft, nothing happened, just hit my head on the canopy). Also, locarno is full of houses as it’s a tourist area. Unless you’re very very very expert of the area and its winds, it’s safer if you land on water.

@alexanderbogander2671 3 года назад

@@gippa75 thanks for the info! Yes if you have a G35kt tailwind, I wouldn't suggest landing! Thanks for clarifying though. I tow gliders in Scotland, and we have very limited options also, however we thankfully do not have many houses.

@gippa75 3 года назад

@@alexanderbogander2671 dunno about your area, but I also fly in the South-East (nearby Gatwick) on a DA40NG. Winds in the UK are also very challenging, but they're different from the alps. If you tow gliders, you have far more experience than me. Respect mate 😊

She can't see over the panel, but uses her "supergirl" x-ray vision to peer thru the panel and engine. Also, she has excellent situational awareness because vision is not blocked by floorboards, wing, or tail feathers. ha, ha.
