Nice series... that large flying bird is something similar we get in Texas. LOL
Martin is just the calmest pilot I've ever watched. He must know flying so thoroughly. He looks almost bored. Must be a very smart guy!
Had an amazing trip, but the back seats had an angle that was not very easy on the back
I’ll take one of these
I love the DA62, but I hardly see this as a traditional business aircraft. It can of course serve as such. The formally dressed pilot is a bit much, she looks more like she's ready to take off in an Airbus A321 than a DA62.
So cool @MickeLang. I think you where even happier then Louis! Crazy how time flies 🙂
Welcome to Egypt ❤
I love this but it would have been nice to add some context in post for example, a break down of what was unique about that approach at the end.
Blue Raiders <3
It was a big pleasure to see my former boss and mentor Capt. Solomon Gizaw when I did PPL with Abyssinian Flight Services in Addis Abeba, saw the first Diamonds landing in Addis before I left the company :)
Thank you, it's beautiful what You have going there. 🛫👍🏻
I am excited for electric innovation in aviation! However there are a number of significant obstacles to viability. 1. Battery technology. Improvement is an asymptotic, not exponential, curve. Breakthroughs have been teased for the last 5 years and will be for the next 5, but ultimately they will reach a plateau which will still leave the range lacking. 2. Charging infrastructure. It is hard enough to find electric car charging sometimes, and will be harder still for aircraft. Car charging is often installed as an incentive to frequent a commercial establishment, and the same case is not likely for airports. 3. Engineering limitations. Batteries are heavier than fuel tanks, even if the motor is lighter. Conventional planes place fuel in the wings, but due to battery weight, doing the same would overwhelm the load factor. For this reason, most designs place them in the fuselage. This not only limits space for batteries, it eliminates space for pilots and passengers as well! In addition, fuel is burnt off during flight, reducing weight which batteries cannot do. 4. Regulatory limitations. Besides electric motors being banned by the FAA as of the time of writing. Much like the above point, the best design for on electric plane has little to do with the best traditional GA design. It is much more efficient to feature numerous small propellors or ducted fans than one large single engine. However, this would thet push the design into the space of multi-engine, a niche with which current electric planes can compte even less. MOSAIC does not go far enough to consider this: in my opinion electric planes should be exempt from a single engine requirement especially as the risk of an electric motor failure is far remote. In contrast, there are also a large number of benefits to electric aircraft that should not be forgotten! 1. Extremely cheap operation. Compared to avgas prices, electricity might as well be negligible. In addition, electric drivetrains are far more mechanically simple and as such require vastly less maintenance, including on the 100-hour. With a low enough entry price, this will make them much more tempting to new owners (such as myself). 2. Quiet operation. Of course this is just considerate neighbourliness, however that in itself may substantially benefit GA. Airports are prime real estate to get closed and redeveloped, and noise is often cited as a complaint for housing. Reducing the volume leads to a better perception of GA. 3. Mechanical simplicity and creative design. With the simplicity of electric motors, more creative designs can be attempted. We see this with the rise of eVTOL startups. VTOL operation with conventional cruises makes operation even simpler and more accessible. Plus we don't know about what hasn't yet been tried. 4. Getting the lead out. Lack of emissions should be obvious. In my personal opinion, the best solution to address these problems while maintaining the benefits would be a hydrogen fuel cell drivetrain. This technology is dying because it truly does not make sense for cars; however it matches the considerations of aviation much more readily.
An excellent aircraft!
New sub.. .Great video awesome aircraft....looking forward to the entire trip....Greetings from Michigan, USA
This was an Epic Video! We love our Diamonds at UVU :)
So cool seeing Luis get to experience that, shout out to the controllers for allowing ya'll to have that moment.
Amazing!!
Thiss just have me hope 😪 I pray to god I find a way to pay for my flight training 🙏🏽 someday someday !!!
Yes, if you have a beating heart you can be a Pilot.
Absolutely love it, well done. Glad the algorithm is recommending diamond aircraft
As a pilot I wish all of you a brillant career and safe landings at all times!
big fan da20, first comment🛩
Well done ✅ thanks for sharing this video with us!
Enjoyed the series! Well done guys! Just wanted to know if you breath outside gathered oxygen at higher altitude or, an oxygen tank?
MTSU all the way baby!!!
It is very nice to see a new, young, generation of pilots.
I love that light bulb that comes on when they get it. 😊 thanks for sharing this with us!
This video gives me chills!!! I LOVE IT!
good for them, god speed ❤️👍
I had an engine faliure on the DA 20, it can happen on any aircraft, but if it wasnt for Dimond aircraft large wing span gliding clean landing on a soft field wouldnt have been easy.
Diamond próxima aquisição, na dúvida entre o DA 50 e o DA 62.
Micke is a good trainer.
It is always a pleasure watching your vlogs and looking forward to the new ones. Always a happy landing.
You were in my hometown of Polokwane! Hope you enjoyed the short stay. It's a friendly town like you observed and a very quiet airport😂😂
I remembered seeing this plane at the exhibition. I was in awe to thing that the plane had to fly such a long journey
Great 👍🏽. Fantastic and Congrats.
Great videos as always. Your editing skills are improved significantly. I got a lot of pleasure watching the whole trip at once!
A-M-A-Z-I-N-G .... i stay in SA and fly helicopters @ Wonderboom. Great job
Do you give people rides?
Thanks for the perfect sound, picture and cut. Very high quality. 👍🏻 And I learned some new things too.... 😊
I don't understand. Why does Flightradar show your last flight in OE-FGZ, flying a 26 minute circuit from Wiener Neustadt East Airport in Vienna (QEW) on 3 April 2024. Is this old footage or do they re-issue tail numbers in Vienna?
Welcome! To SA As kid I used to cycle to WonderBoom airport to go watch airplanes from the perimeter fence. 😃
Welcome to South Africa, I hope you enjoyed it, go check out the fig tree there in Wonderboom.
Why don't you wat to fly big aircraft? Get a local SA pilot to show you some low level flying. As an EU pilot is was wild doing low passes below the legal limit back home and being told, descend further
this was sooo great!!!! Take care my two Flughörnchens 🌍 Mama
sehr coole und lustige Episode 🌍
I'm an instructor at Wonderboom. Nice to see my home in a video like this😊
Lekker man
Amazing to see the place where I grew up at the end of the video
Amazing series, I was glued to it! congratulations
That seemed like an eventful approach coming into Wonderboom.
It was😂
It was😅
