DA40 NG FERRY FLIGHT to ETHIOPIA [DAY 1]

[@jayanthkumar7964]

All I can think is that the DA40NG is an incredibly smooth, easy to fly, fun and reliable aircraft while I watch these videos.

[@mikercflyer7383]

I started following you through following Flight Chops ferry flight enjoyed it.

[@pnkemp]

Micke, fascinating to watch the process. If you do more of these would it be possible to post the IFR route details so those of us who sadly just fly in simulators can recreate some of your trips?

[@MickeLang]

Thank you Peter! Yes will do so the next times☺️🤘🏼

[@CCitis]

Ah, you are the guy I watched ferry the DA62 to Canada... cool.. I will subscribe. Nice video.

Wonderful flights.... Thanks for sharing... 20:36 Lake Salda is a mid-size crater lake in southwestern Turkey, within the boundaries of Yeşilova district of Burdur Province. NASA says the minerals and rock deposits at Salda are the nearest match on earth to those around the Jezero Crater where the spacecraft landed and which is believed to have once been flooded with water.

[@MickeLang]

Great information here! Thank you!!!

[@johannesb.]

Really cool Job you have there, keep the vids coming, great quality and content!

[@MickeLang]

Thank you Johannes! I am giving my best😊🤘🏼

[@NiklasPrescher]

Very cool Video!

[@jeffbridges666]

Very nice video

[@matmay]

Can you talk about flight weather and the limitations of the DA NG. Icing for example

[@theaeronaut-channel]

Other great video!

[@Alex127682]

Hey, wie machst Du das mit dem Sauerstoff? Eine externe Flasche? Wie ist die festgemacht?

[@MickeLang]

Ja externe Flasche im Fußraum hinten. Meistens polstere ich den Raum aus und lege etwas drauf. Dann noch den Sitz bisschen zurück und das Ding sitzt👍🏼

[@MAGApepe]

nice,,, wonder why it still only says 14 gal tanks when they are 20 ,, not updated software or something

[@MickeLang]

Hi there, that's a good point but there is a logical answer for it. If you take a look at the fuel system of the DA40 NG you have the standard tanks and the long range tanks. The fuel quantity probe is located across the standard tank and the DA40 was initially only built with the standard tanks. Then the long range tanks option was added and why should you put one (actually two, one for each side) more probe in there when you can do it the way it is now? In my opinion this was a smart move because you have less mechanical parts which could fail, you save weight (just a little but hey lighter is better) and you don't have to update the fuel calculation software -> Money and work hours saved. Personally I think that was a great idea. Let me know what you think :)

[@MAGApepe]

@@MickeLang well one good reason would be so you know how much fuel on board you have,,, imagine that lol,, pretty sure the north American ones have it showing 20 each side

[@MAGApepe]

@@MickeLang another reason to have the 6X 2 gallons recorded is for CG and W&b calculation

[@venusreena2532]

Hella pilot.. Hella plane..on my short list

[@AFP557]

Where is the building at 21:16 ? Looks interesting.

[@MickeLang]

It is southwest from the City "Kemer" in turkey, a mountain with an elevation of 2365 meters. The building is from the cable car called "Olympos Teleferik"

[@AFP557]

@@MickeLang Found it. Looks like a great view of the Mediterranean coast from the top. bit.ly/3mbGtM0

[@massoud999]

Cool. BTW what stills camera are you using and are you happy with it.

[@x.k.b.w.6716]

As soon as it went dark I was like t f*ck that is freakin' scary

[@MickeLang]

Sometimes it is😂

[@Tkamsker]

hi Micke i like your videos because of covid i can't fly as much as i wanted to ,.. question did you ever consider "survival" or similar when you do this trips over extreme real areas ? I have my minimal pack (fits metal tin box ) and "magic drinking straw" on body when i do long overland trips like norway what do you do ?

[@MickeLang]

Have you seen the Atlantic crossing series from Flightchops? He covered all that very well👍🏼☺️

[@Tkamsker]

@@MickeLang no but i will

[@flywithkay1]

Pig horney (sau geil) ^^ Da wäre ich ja auch gerne mit von der Partie... viel Spaß.

[@SuperJLine]

ur cool vorallem am Schluss wos so finster is. voll heftig wenn ma so nix sieht ausser das was am Bildschirm anzeigt wird :)

[@faisalraja8658]

How does Proflight ear in headset works for DA40NG? I am considering buying one, and flying DA40 myself mostly.

[@MickeLang]

works great!☺️

[@cjknieriem]

Great video! What’s the average speed and fuel consumption on this leg with the DA40? Would you recommend the proflight series 2 above the A20 in a DA40

[@MickeLang]

Thanks! About 135kt true and the average fuel flow of around 6.3 GPH. Depends on how long you fly, the in ear starts to get uncomfortable after around 4.5 hours in the ear but everything under 3 hours I would recommend it, for sure. Especially for me with my height :P

[@zackperdue]

Is there no BOTH fuel setting? I'd love to fly this aircraft one day soon!

[@MickeLang]

No, system is designed to take from the left tank only and only in emergencies the right one

[@princea.6122]

what are you doing if you need to go to the toilet? You won't do a landing for that. how do solve this problem?

[@MickeLang]

I have a thing called “travel john”. Easy to use👌🏼

[@olliewilliams8925]

What was that thing under his nose in the beginning

[@MickeLang]

That’s an oxygen canulla☺️

[@NickFrancehouse]

Wonderful video. Brings back happy memories. Looking forward to Khartoum - Addis to see how you handled it.

[@MickeLang]

Thank you Nick! Coming soon :)

[@rajiscrazy]

How do u go for toilet

[@MickeLang]

Video coming soon on that topic☝🏼

[@RahulSharma-oj4ik]

26:40 ... It becomes really annoying when you touchdown and the ATC starts the transmission..!

[@MickeLang]

I have to defend them here, I made a cut there so it seems faster then it was☝🏼☺️

[@RahulSharma-oj4ik]

@@MickeLang wow! That was seamless ..😹

[@gragasbushkin2933]

hey, what's up with your nose?

[@MickeLang]

That’s an oxygen canulla. When flying over 10000 feet we need supplemental oxygen because our planes are nor pressurized☝🏼

[@ryanawilson8549]

The cockpit seems a bit small for someone your size

[@MickeLang]

actually I fit very good☝🏼☺️

[@mwangidonato]

I want to know if it is possible to reach you via email

[@MarkUKInsects]

Post COVID-19 I would like to have a trial lesson and see where it goes. A nearby flight school has a many craft including a DA40 (at extra cost) what that be a wise choice to a first flight?

[@MickeLang]

Definitely! Give it a try! 🤘🏼
