Hey Blaze, a nomenclature question. I noticed that when you disconnected the A/P and disabled the yaw damper your verifying call used the word "away." Why that particular word? I ask because earlier in the video you commented about a lack of precision in a few of your ATC calls. Obviously, you've thought about the best way to make certain calls and I'd be interested in your explanation of why "away" is a good word for describing things that are disabled, disconnected, turned off etc.

Nice work, but my only comment would be why take the gear up when you have all that runway remaining my friend ? Makes no sense really in a light twin which you could easily get back down on the deck should an engine go bang after rotation or something catastrophic happen. There is a video of a TBM in the UK which had a cowling fly open on departure. Pilot tried to re-land and dive for the runway which he could see but had already tapped and retracted with loads and loads of runway remaining... Luckily, they noticed this error and went back around but lessons were probably learned there. It's something just to consider, fly how you feel safe or were trained. Just passing some comment as a former DA42 pilot myself :)

@westcoastflyer

5 ай бұрын

Good question! I try to get the gear up sooner so that if I have an engine failure I can take the emergency in the air and have performance being able to climb…this plane does not climb on one engine and a gear down…

@AB-qn9cs

5 ай бұрын

@@westcoastflyer I appreciate you’ll want to climb at VY(SE) or blue line and above but I’m just suggesting that by taking the gear up all engines operating with useable runway remaining ahead of you, you may just take away a good option to re-land if something serious happens. Fire, failure or critical damage were the top three I was taught in Sweden when I flew the 42/62 and that was by Diamond Delivery Pilots. I think you fly really well but it’s just a point, can take or leave it 😊 I’ve unfortunately seen a lot of stuff happen in aviation in the last 10 years. Taking an issue into the air in a light twin like you may on a 737 with tons of runway available is not always the best option. Have a look at the crash that happened a few days ago for reference, Grumman GA7 Cougar, blancolirio channel. Was the guy who gave the C401 to Jason from rebuild rescue. Engine failure likely after take off, high workload, ended up in a spin and not making it sadly. Big threat amongst all the goings on of securing the engine on every twin with a critical engine is the rudder running out of authority and deflection so your cross wind effect on the vertical stab if not in your favour could very well put you in a position like that.
