I just want to address one point. A few people have indicated that they felt that I was taking undue risks by conducting this flight in this weather. They say this out of respectful concern, and I appreciate that concern. I need to make it clear however that, while I have not posted any videos of flights in this sort of conditions, I have conducted many flights in high pressure environments due to both weather and busy airspace. I was never during this flight in the least uncomfortable with my situation. I was completely in control at all times. I recognized what was going on from previous flights and had plentry of capacity to handle whatever might have come up. I would never conduct a flight where that was not the case. If you don't yourself fly a lot of IFR in IMC, it may seem like I was "on the edge", but that is not the case. I was, however, happy that I didn't have any passengers, because I don't think they would have found it very comfortable. I understand that. But for me, it was well within the envelope my experience enables me to handle. I do not encourage people to get themselves into situations they are not comfortable with, and I don't do that either.

It was a good flight, and if the a/c was able to cope with wx ice etc, and you were happy and aware, why not?

Although you were busy I did not see this as taking undue risk. I would have flown it as well with the hardware you have, the situational awareness is just super. If it was my old Mooney with a strike finder and lagging Nexrad radar on a Garmin 430 I would have cut bait.

jaunty17 agreed 100% ! Well handled captain, plus that Da42 is a remarkable piece of aviation engineering. Cheers

This video should be required viewing for all instrument ground school students.

Those are some good controllers!!

Major airport, major traffic and major weather! #theperfectstorm Well done sir!!

Just watching this exceeds my personal limits :) - awesome video

Wow, I was pretty stunned watching you and the controllers deal with that huge workload. I love your videos for always being kept simple and not too overloaded with additional information. It just feels like sitting right on board. They really make me think about saving up for an IR. Thank you :)

Thanks for the nice video, jaunty17! I'm an Approach Controller for EDDF myself and just wanted to tell you that when we ask for your present speed, we would like to know your IAS. The GS is shown on our radar. Keep up the good work and when you're in EDDF next time, let me know ;)

Magnus, vielen Dank! Very good to know decisively. Will help me in the future to quickly give a correct response. I'm sure others on the channel will appreciate that as well.

you did great job out there! one of the most excited video that i have seen lately! thanks for sharing it with us!

Thoroughly enjoy your videos. Thanks for taking the time to film and edit them so well.

I really enjoy all of your videos but that one was hard work just watching, let alone experiencing turbulence etc. You did a great job, as did the controllers! Well done.

That was intense and I am glad that you made your way through the storm safely. Thank you for sharing, I love your videos.

Thank you for posting the video. It was exciting to see you land at such a busy airport.

Great video, as always. A beautifully capable aircraft with an equally capable pilot. Thanks for sharing Jaunty!

Great video, just shows how much work it was for you and the controllers when the weather gets challenging.

Really enjoy watching all of your videos. This one is just incredible. One of the most intense flying videos I've seen on youtube. Thank you for sharing.

Great job, as always. Nice to watch you handling the workload during the approach in heavy weather and high traffic conditions.

Got sweaty palms from watching it. ;) Great job on keeping your cool under these demanding circumstances. Excellent educational video, thanks for posting!

Jaunty17 - a gripping flight! You are incredibly cool throughout. A true airman. Thank you and safe onward journey. Martin

An amazing video! My level of stress was high the whole way through. Well done Captain, superb controllers and what a capable aircraft!!!

Thank you for sharing your experiences. I had a special interest in this video which we don't see so often on youtube. Please continue to share. Thank you

Den mest spännande videon hitils! Jag satt som på nålar hela tiden, bra jobbat, och tack för din insatts med att dela med dig av din flygning!

Great video and stunning arrival !

Thanks for this video - I think it is one of your best. It really demonstrates the workload for a single pilot IFR at a busy airport and the need to be on the ball. I'm thinking of doing my IFR training and I see the level of professionalism you need. I was really impressed by the approach controller's ability to adapt on the fly (pun) as well. More snaps than a pond full of crocodiles :-) Cheers and I hope the return trip was less intense.

amazing, beautiful landing and approach, thx mr.!!

Very much enjoy ALL your videos!

Wow, you worked hard there! Really enjoyed the ride, many thanks for uploading. Funny when the controller told you to keep your eyes on the runway!

This was an awesome experience to watch!

I really appreciate your video. I just pass my IFR and this video shows the effort we need to do. Thank for sharing and.... good job.

Excellent job! And excellent video! Was on the edge of my seat at 0600 am 👍

It's the sixth time I watch this video since I've discovered it about two years ago. It is still one of my favorite general aviation on KZread. I hope you're doing well since you didn't upload any video since quite a bit. Greetings from Switzerland.

Well done, and thank you for posting a video like this. As you had "real time RADAR" on board, and de-ice capability, as well as plenty of experience flying in these kinds of conditions, there was no real danger--and you had obvious "outs" if you needed to pull the trigger. Thanks for sharing!

Amazing video and approach, Respect! Always happy landings!:-)

A very gripping approach in significant IMC. Could sense the tension under control but ready for anything. You are living my dream.

brilliant video, good work in a busy environment, it just shows GA can mix it with the big boys!

Awesome Video!! Beautiful Job! I felt like I was there with You! I’m viewing on my IPAD and Felt Like I left Pucker Prints a couple of Times in my seat!! You are an Outstanding Pilot! Wonderful Job!

This are the best aviation videos on youtube.

Great Job.........you were busy as hell !!!!

That was beyond intense. A great experience I'm sure. I'm actually going to watch the whole video again lol

Well done! Thanks for sharing!

Amazing, thank you.

Whoa, must have been a lot more exciting doing it, than watching it....! And watching was very exciting.

really enjoy your flights thanks for sharing

Hope you're okay. I'm really looking forward to another video. I always enjoy watching them and therefore miss them quite a lot.

Great video. The situation is very well handled

wow.... thats an intense flying experience ... great to see it doesnt scare you too much and you keep your cool... thats the main thing when flying I guess ... keep the thinking process running in all situations since panic clouds the mind and then things start to get ahead of the pilot... great...

Great video! Btw: the TAM (LATAM now) spooling the reverse at 34:19 is a must hahaha

Wow, thanks for sharing, that was fantastic. I could see the turbulence, and that radar... so much red. I don't think you were taking undue risk, you flew the approach by the book, you had great weather avoidance equipment in the airplane, a good autopilot and were on top of the flight at all times. Just a good plane, a good pilot and understanding controllers. Hat off!

nice flying... really enjoyed watching your ILS landing

Scary and gripping, excellent work, Frankfurt is quite an airport to fly into on top of the weather :)

Wow. Rather you than me. That was intense, but you kept your calm. Well done.

Busy - really interesting ! Thank you.

great video! I noticed he never said keep your eyes on the runway, rather "keep you advised on the runway"

That was a hell of an approach...Great!!!

Very well done!!!!!

Awesome video nice flying

Nice and light on the stick, while in the bumpy soup! Suuuubscribed!👍🇺🇸✈️

That was a very nice approach! I know FRA very well... Well done... !

A lot of stress, but well done Jaunty! 👍💪🏻

What a great video.

Wow great flight. Well done sir. I'm going to Carenado to pickup a DA42 tomorrow. For my flight sim lol.

Magnificent piece of airmanship there. Greased the landing considering the adverse conditions. Bloody Germanic efficiency with requesting you to leave the runway effective immediately.

Brilliant!!! Way to do it!!!!

Såklart man vill utmana sig själv! Kul att få se videon också! Man lär sig något på varje flygning bokstavligt talat!

WELL DONE SIR ......THIS IS A CLASSIC IMC SITUATION FOR HELICOPTER AND SMALL PLANES FLIYNG ALMOST IN BAD WHEATER IN WINTER TIME. JUST ANOTHER THING...BRAVO TO THE ATC

Great work! SP IFR at its best

Great video also!

You are my inspiration

Thanks

Jaunty thanks for The videos that you have been posting. They are excellent, very professional. I wonder if you are a retired airline captain? The diamond D42 is an excellent machine amazing ! I have seen the Last diamond release the D62. I hope one they Diamond Will be able to create the same models with cabin pressurizing. We wait for more vídeos. All the best

Thanks for that video Capt, very very enjoyable indeed. That was a very challenging approach. Captain, Just a quick one, I could be wrong about what you thought you heard, but on short finals did you think the controller said 'Just keep your eyes on the runway' ? He said, 'Will keep you ADVISED on the runway.' :) Considering the scrolling text you put in, I get a feeling you heard him wrong. Always enjoy your videos. Thanks.

Nice approach...

Good job!

mikewlkr2 Intense and excellent video. First class

Good pilot job! :)

chapeau monsieur

I love this plane I hope to own one some day.

I have heard of "get home-itis" but this trip was "must get there-itis". It is nice to have all the gadgets onboard but they can get you into trouble methinks. If I was flying on that day, it would have been below the bases. Well done.

Must be somewhat surreal landing a little prop, hopping off the runway as an airliner lands right behind you lol. Great vid.

very interesting flight

That was fun. I think you did that just fine as a lone pilot. I don't think you pushed too hard and you communicated your intentions with a good ATC. Nice but harrowing.

Hats off sir

What an intense video!

Nice stuff!

awesome ...

very nice!

Real exciting video in the approach to EDDF! Any pilot can see, that you had been in coolness and control of the whole inflight situation. As I watch, I can see the great experience you have on this. It was exciting watching this and it was strong weather but you had a reasonable good plane and the experienced skills to do this. That is my opinion out of the video. Respect doing this but it was no out of control thing. So ignore the typical stupid comments on this I guess out of want to be professionals or semi professionals or some kind of unexpierienced people. Everybody in flight has to make his on decision how far to go and feel comfortable. Thats all to say about! And of course great job.

Excellent video! ATC confused with the speed because you're meant to report indicated airspeed, not true or GS.

Amazing video and flying really well done! Impressive. Now, how would all of this have felt without A/P? ;-)

What an awesome life you have!...the right amount of adrenaline one needs before or after some business meeting

Good job man for that approach, especially cuz u fly single pilot and it's visible from video, that second pilot would fit in there.. So as a lot of guys here, I'm also curious about costs you'll experience here..

Hi Jaunty17 thanks for these nice videos you upload. I have been looking for first hand information on how much owning a DA42 VI would cost in real world without success. I thought you might be able to give some facts and figures since you fly/own one? The operational cost of the plane (maintenance, fuel, hanger, insurrence, etc...) and also when one purchases the plane how much would that cost etc... i am stuck with the idea of starting an airline company with one/more planes like DA42 in Scandinavia. havent looked into details though. Just a dream. Thanks in advance

Great video and very informative! I was wondering if you have to have a special certification to fly RNAV routes in europe?

Really busy hands on the multi function displays. Could one get away with less? I couldn't imagine the difficulty of turbulence and hitting the wrong button, or if the autopilot had to be switched off

"A welcome hole opens up" LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL :-) Did you have a "goodbye hole" as well upon departing from EDDF?

After watching this, I think I'll stick with VFR!

You don't need windows to fly This was a GPS approach carried off very well Good job
