DA 40 NG Flight Test: Spinning

[@wwhite993]

Makes me proud to be a Diamond pilot/fan.

Impressive video and amazing flying. I used to fly a DA40 CS but I never flew it like that! The DPE for my Private Pilot check ride suggested an aerobatic flight for the experience and fun, now I see why.

[@Shadowsc133]

Great video, awesome flying. Are there videos on DA42 twin star spins too? Very interested in that.

[@kel50pp]

Dam those spins look sweet!!

[@pilotwinebrenner5102]

And this is why i only fly diamonds

[@maxcavill4762]

they're shit

[@wowuu1075]

Max Cavill you are worse than shit

[@jadesluv]

I'm not a Star owner, but its nice to know that a pilot can get out of spins without pulling a chute and destroying the aircraft and risk killing oneself in the process unlike the Cirrus.

[@MiGutzu]

Wow! I really appreciate your post. It's very interesting....and it's a good didactic material!

[@NikosAndrianos]

If it can recover from the spin, then why in the manual says that spins are prohibited?

[@williemaxt]

I think it's because they want an even bigger margin for safety.

Waooooo.diamond aircrafts is the best of best in it's class.waooooo.so safe planes. Can we watch these tests for da 62 too please?

[@YaKyLLaN]

Nice ending

[@christophermichaelson9050]

Over a populated area?!

[@OfficialUSKRprogram]

Hadn't even realized, that's against the law, lol

[@irminkerck6124]

That’s only due to the perspective of the filming airplane 🙂

[@DiamondPilotDan]

oh good god.... these are horrifying lol especially 2:36

[@eatmorenachos]

Wheeeeeeeee!

[@thaicoon6242]

This is giving me ideas. hmmm

[@MAGApepe]

entering spin,,,opposite stick? never heard of doing that,,, using full back stick is the norm i use

[@Jdr1053]

This is not a flight training maneuver. Opposite aileron aggravates spin entry. This is flight test technique. these guys investigate the spin characteristics of the test aircraft. They have to go beyond what is common in order to get a good idea of the flight envelope and ensure that even in non-standard entry the aircraft is recoverable.

[@GZA036]

okay... so why is not approved for spins

[@aiden1182]

I believe the original DA40 had issues with the instruments toppling. No idea why the NG isn't though.

cracy........
