New Kid on the Block: Passage to Pretoria - a Diamond Aircraft DA62 Ferry to South Africa / Ep. 1

Ғылым және технология

Episode 1 takes us from Wiener Neustadt, Austria, to Paphos, Cyprus. Micke shows Luis the ferry-flight ropes and advises us what to pack, snack, and what not to open in a DA62 cabin at 11,000 feet. We see the features of OE-FGZ’s iridium antenna in action, and Luis hand flies into LCPH.

    Would love to own this aircraft one day! Literally on my bucket list to fly one of these. Trained on the DV20 out of CTFTC in Cape Town, and just got my CPL/IR/ME on a Seneca II . Doing my FI stuff now. Hopefully see this baby one day in the future :)

    What a great video, hopfully the first of many to come. Micke and Luis certainly work well as a team with a great rapor that makes for thorougly entertaining viewing. This channel has created some of the best general aviation content on youtube, as well as being a great advertisment for Diamond Aircraft and the DA62.

    To keep things short, all permissions were done by “GASE” “General Aviation Support Egypt” . Basically we sent them the routing and then they did their magic😊

    Great video as usual! Micke, how come you switch PITOT & (Stall Heat?) off when on the cruise? We always keep it on from runway to runway in the UK, and that's how I was taught.
