I did my training in the Da42, and absolutely loved it. I can’t imagine how much fun flying this thing must be!
Are you maybe planning to show the DA40NG? Because I would love to get closer information on single-engine planes at its price.
look cool:)
Yes! I was hoping you’d do one on this.
why is he moving the ailerons for the check if there is explicit a sign you shouldnt do that
This aircraft is the future of twin flight training.
PC-12 for $1.3??? If one were to find one at that price it might be a bit rough and end-up costing quite a bit more than $1.3 in short order.
It’s a nice plane but it’s not $1.3mil USD nice. They’re out of their minds trying to sell it at that price. You’d be better off buying a used PC-12
Did I got it right that in case of an engine failure at take off the seven people onboard are flown on one 180 HP (the power of an average 172) engine pulling sideways? Sorry, I’m too young to fly planes like these 😉
What a gangbusters aircraft!
Curious as to why Diamond chose the joystick instead of the yoke. Anyone?
What does that 2 minute limit mean at 6:45 ?
Thats what aviation needs, another piston twin that won’t fly on one engine.
Dear Santa…
AV WEB’ : What Benefits does having a Diesel in an Aircraft ?? as a former Truck Driver , Diesel Fuel Gels up in the cold, even if treated, so how can having a Diesel in an Aircraft be of any Benefit, especially in COLD weather and at High Altitudes where its considerably colder. I really don’t understand the true Benefits of having a DIESEL in an Aircraft, could you explain, please – Thank You ! Jetranger at SIM HANGER on YOU TUBE.
good plane
Very very nice plane- would be better with the Technify/Thielert engines in it
Over priced massively
$1M and couldn’t splurge on SVT?
Fuel cap on backwards?
1.1 million lol? Yea ok I’ll go get a king air instead
Sooo… A 1000 hour TBO on each engine and gearbox? That’s an engine and gearbox overhaul every 500 hours.
“The company hopes to increase TBO to as high as 2,400 hours eventually. Other required engine maintenance, meanwhile, includes inspection of the generators at 300 hours, and replacement of the high-pressure fuel pump and inspection of the two-mass flywheel at 600 hours.” http://www.flyingmag.com/we-fly-diamond-da62
For myself, I’ve always thought the DA’s were kinda ugly. But ya know.. to each his or her own.
If I paid $1.3M for this aircraft then I would want to keep it in a hanger. However, with that wingspan one will need to find a much larger (and more expensive) hanger.
For that money I buy and used turbine duke and a cessna 182, just saying…
Very good
It’s like the sexy minivan of the sky.
15 gallons per hour is not a lot of fuel, not sure what you’re comparing to… the other guy looks like he wants to disagree but then nods like, “it’s Paul Barterelli he must be right”
Great stuff this airplane, you need to think of total cost of ownership, despite’s the TBO which will get better folks, diamonds are soooo much cheaper to own than alternatives … cirrus, Cessna ttx, and don’t get me started on the comments about king air and Pilatus, I’ve owned and currently own diamonds and despite the poor cabin looks, the cost of ownership per mile and per year is always lower. I am tempted by that Baron though, need to do a little more homework on that one.
Hopefully trump doesn’t take away tax deductions for GA
Checked out on twins in the RCAF back around 1955. It was what we called an Expeditor which was a Beech 18, two Pratt and Whitneys at 550 HP each. Also spent some time instructing in them. Had a reserve squadrron converting to these, can’t remember from what. Also ran GCA approaches for the GCA school. My glory days.
Outstanding quality aircraft.
Nice airplane, great fuel efficiency 🙂
$1.08 milion 😐
TBO 1000hrs 🙁
fuck its sexy!!!
DA62… no squelch adjustment
I’m always amused by the discussions about how “If I had a wife and kids this would be the perfect plane for my family.” Like normal people spend over 1 million for stuff.
I’m pretty sure if I had a family I wouldn’t own any airplane! Nice plane either way though.
For that price they should make the cockpit look cool, currently it looks like it was put together by toddlers. Think cool like TTX.
I want to ask the price of the DA62 aircraft for how much that send to Indonesia?
I personally feel like Diamond’s Flight deck is a little weak compared to others. They’re really still using 10″ screens? The perfect plane .. ( DA62 with Cessna TTX flight deck including direct control side stick. ) Just my opinion : )
15 gallons per hour jet fuel combined for both sides is very little fuel
