Steve when is your IR exam ? Best wishes for a great sore .
I work close to the London plant, on midnights I’ll be standing outside and watching pilots test fly the planes made in our community. So quiet you hear them then immediately see them, not like old Cessna planes that roar like out of control lawn mowers. Beautiful aircraft we are proud to produce in London Ontario Canada!

I live in New York City. I might come up to London later on in March to see the plant.
What a beautiful and capable aircraft! Its stall characteristics (watched more recent videos than this) are nothing short of amazing. Outside of losing altitude at a gradual rate, the DA62 (and many other DA craft) maintains aileron and rear stabilizer control(!!) in stall conditions!
Wonderful, Micke! Keep sharing!
What a gorgeous Aircraft... Look forward to seeing these videos!
This is such a cool series I've watched these videos 5 times through and here I am watching again. What an epic journey!

Great video, great plane!

Vilket bra jobb du gjort ,Micke!!

Micke and Martin are back! Our new KZread documentary is starting end of December 2019. This time you’ll join us on an extraordinary training flight in a DA40 NG from our headquarters in Wiener Neustadt, Austria to Dubai Airshow. Get a glimpse: kzread.info/dash/bejne/nmF9xtCbhJjUhpM.html
Beautiful plane. Would have liked to hear how quiet it was inside with both engines running.
Any feedback of operating this aircraft in salty and sunny area with no hangar?
Die 62er ist schon ein großartiges Flugzeug! Echt schön und sparsam, da freut man sich direkt Österreicher zu sein!

I know it can’t be but why does the cabin width look narrower than the 42?
Beautiful airplane
Cooler Flieger, cooles Video :)
As a simmer I bought this one because I loved the shapes of this bird. I'm now on route for a round the globe trip, so I know I can cross the Atlantic from your route... I just need to find where to go in the Pacific... I guess Alaska / Russia will do the job :)

best planes on the market,,,, all the windows should have UV and IR filters thou
It’s dream 😍
Great vid
Would be awesome if Diamond Aircraft would offer: optional dual side panel mounted control sticks, and/or dual rams horn yokels. Aso, because of size/7-place, average flight mission and the power-plants, Diamond should offer an optional pressurized cabin. If any GA twin should have these options, it is the Diamond DA-62...imho. Happy/Safe Flying!

Yes yes yes and yes, i agree!! Side sticks for me please, and a lav in the third row, lift the seat cushion and voila! Pressurization is gonna be super cool if you have kids, they never seem to be comfortable with those nose adapters, and kinda dangerous too (for kids)
this is very cool to watch this after first experiencing this aircraft in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. i have the knowledge to get the engines running and the flight systems on, but not the skill or legal abilities to fly it. i think i found my goal.
Do you have another chanel in German language?
nice ride guys .....
We need more.
Great videos guys, definitely they positively influenced my decision to buy one! Micke, I went to the link for your KZread channel but it wasn't available. Did you discontinue it? I do a bit of filming myself, but in 360/VR. I'd love to get some ideas on camera mounting on the DA62. Thanks for making these videos guys!
Brilliant video in the most advanced and safest twin in the world!!

I would love to see a North Atlantic map with the flight distances corrected/weighted for expected head and tail winds. Might make an Azores Bermuda route seem more attractive than at first glance????
I wish I could have a great aircraft like this...
I fly GA and cross the channel every now and then. I saw that little life raft and thought, wow cool. Such a neat small package and easy to take on board, maybe I'll buy one. I just went and looked , 1500 euro.. Guess not.

Dude, €1500 is nothing in the aviation world, actually it's like a tank or two of gas Haha, what's wrong with you? Small compact and LIGHT peace of equipment like this i would actually permanently keep in my plane, what is it 10lbs? You must not be a pilot? It's ok. Don't mean to bash on you, but c'mon now...
I would love to do ferry flights, much more adventure than on the line
love the BF109 at the back at 3:16
What are the suits called that you are having to wear??
Beautiful plane and wonderful adventure ! Wick lies on the north coast of Scotland, not Ireland (5:02)
Great adventure for a young pilot , jeez I would like to be young again

Should put a big ferry tank in it, take everything out of the plane that isnt needed like seats, only take a small overnight bag each, and do the crossing in one shot :p Hell, make it a pacific crossing !

This is not an airplane, nor an ultimate flying machine.....it is a winged poem.
I want the grey one in FS2020!
Seems like kinda oldschool constant flow oxy system. Why not a mountain high or similar ? Iirc theyre good to the limit of non mask breathing.
8:15, ya'll could really use a "Best Tug." Just saying, who wants to fiddle with choke, and engines when you can just deal with electric power!?
Could you take this thing around the world with a group of 5 people or something?
Where did you learn your English? It's great.
