If Dirk wasn't a regional sales manager, he would make a great radio/voice over announcer.

As a Captain for Southwest Airlines, thank you for the SWA shoutout. Have enjoyed watching your DA62 checkout. Looks like an exciting and amazing GA aircraft. Well done and it looked like Dirk was a pleasure to fly with. Lots of good solid information he shared with you. It will always be a part of your career regardless where or what you end up flying for a living. Best wishes and clear skies...

[@georgehasler142]

Haley another beautiful flight thank you so very much for sharing this experience with us in the DA-62 and as always fly safe and please keep on making your videos

[@FlywithHayley]

Thankyou, appreciate it! I’m glad you enjoyed the flight 😊

[@WarrenKimpel]

another nice video, two in the plane makes it more interesting, THANK YOU

[@thomasbranic]

All the Diamonds look great! That DA62 just looks fast. Thank you for all of your work.

[@TheFlightLevel]

Great video and beautiful plane. I sat in a DA62 at the factory in London, Ontario and I was blown away by the spacious and luxurious cabin! Blue skies!

[@bobby-io2rr]

I am new to your channel as of 10 minutes ago. I am hooked on it. Of course your smile and laugh makes it nice

[@jackrolfson312]

Always fun to watch. Thank you for bringing us along.

[@snoozie1suzie]

Howdy airport hangar neighbor! I found your channel and I am loving it! Mr Dirk should’ve been an airline pilot, he has that Captain’s radio voice. He needs to throw more “ummms” in there. Its fun watching you fly!

[@boofer875]

Haley, I am an old retired guy who watches planes and motorcycles on KZbin. My niece is in Aerospace at MTSU. I guess you will eventually ferry a plane to Murphreesboro or Shelbyville. I think they fly D40s and C172s. I like the way you talk to yourself when recalling your checklist. Keep learning. I rode 80 miles yesterday on my 99 Honda Magna. Got to keep current on perishable skills. Bye, Barry

[@Zzrdemon6633]

I'm 60 and still ride a zzr1200, hope to keep with it till your age!

[@rkisembo]

You and Dirk are smooth flying buddies. Hope we’ll see more vids from the both of you.

[@easttexan2933]

Dirk is such a smooth talker. He has that perfect airline captain communication voice. His way of giving instructions and not making a big deal about it is very relaxing. What a gorgeous airplane. Are they quiet in the cockpit?

[@ashikihsan1946]

Well done Hayley Herberger. That was a good flying of you from DA 62 Ferry from St. Louis to Dallas. You will be an excellent and a professional pilot Hayley someday. My best wishes for you.

[@jmead6121]

Dirk's explanation of the difference of the engine fuel was very interesting. A video of you flying an electric plane would so cool. Thank you for a fascinating flight.

PLEEZE have Dirk along on other flights! I think I could just about log some training time myself!

[@blake86303]

You are a very competent pilot!

[@tnmonty501]

Well , except for not seeing what the traffic at Bentonville was doing

[@addsub49]

That was a Cirrus move. Must have forgotten she was in a Diamond and couldn’t join a 25 mile straight in final for the opposing runway.

[@FlywithHayley]

Winds were variable, it made sense to go straight in until we were handed off to CTAF and heard traffic was landing North. Joined the pattern with everyone else, so no was not on a 25 final and yes, did see what the traffic at bentonville was doing

[@tnmonty501]

@@FlywithHayley 15:00 😉

[@jahartley]

In my 62 I use COM1 for weather and ground and COM2 for approach and cruise etc. Reason being, when you are departing again, COM1 is active before the avionics master is turned on and so I already have the frequencies I need all dialled in from the arrival. Just something that makes life a little more straightforward. Great videos 👌

[@michaelchiappini5928]

Checking in from the 🇬🇧. Love this young woman.

[@crikycrocky]

I enjoyed that one and the other. Love the Diamond aircraft. I would have liked to see a bit more of the forward view on occasion.

If you are willing to fly all the way to Panama City Beach I will be happy to help you with your Avionics’s upgrade. We could maybe get Garmin to spring for some of your upgrades. Just a thought. Either way, nice video. I enjoy watching you grow as a pilot.

[@petesheppard1709]

Such a slick bird. It looks like it's approaching Vne just sitting on the ramp.😎

[@dr.strangelove7739]

Dirk should let you hand fly the approach. Automation can makes pilots lazy and can lead to trouble. Stay sharp, keep those skills tuned up for when you need them. Don't be a an autopilot pilot. I have a friend who flew a turbocharged A-36 Bonanza for years. The aircraft was packed with state of the art avionics and he always used the autopilot. He flew with one of those little jet pilot headsets (the ones with the little wire for a mouthpiece.) So, he and his wife were flying in IFR over Missouri when they hit a huge Canadian goose. The windscreen exploded and the goose came into the cockpit. He found himself unable to communicate with ATC because that little headset was ripped off his head. A 130 MPH wind was hitting him in the face, he could hear nothing, his eyes were injured from debris, and the autopilot disengaged. He admitted it had been so long since he had practiced hand flying the airplane in IFR under emergency conditions that he lost control of the airplane for a moment. Thank God muscle memory kicked in and he got the aircraft back under control and made an emergency landing at... Bentonville, Arkansas. Now he flies with a heavy duty David Clark headset, hand flies IFR approaches every other trip, and practices emergency procedures in IFR and VFR conditions regularly. Each time I see him and his wife, I am amazed that they are still with us.

[@flysport_tedder]

I don't remember your vid showing the Bentonville FBO and restaurant last time. I see why you like it!

[@methodman247]

Great video. Wish we could see the instruments when you have to do something. Also I agree, I would get rid of the music. We don’t like lol

[@SmittyPilot]

I had to laugh when I saw you looking at the approach plate on your phone - I thought "now there's an example of younger eye balls" as I view mine on my iPad mini

[@dovpauzner5093]

The real diamond is the pilot Hayley.

[@KutWrite]

Nice flight, thanks! Would've liked to see your food orders. Maybe it's just me, but airport "club" food always looks great.

[@ozmozis6073]

DA62 vs DEBI.. What a difference. Great flight and no snacks.. (?) I guess lunch was the 'snacks'. What's the rule with the canopy? Are you're able to taxi to the pre-takeoff point without issues? Do you have to maintain any speed with the canopy open? That looked so cool. Love the DA62.. wow. Just wow!

Please tell me you tried the apple pancake at The Original Pancake House.

[@easttexan2933]

I do not like the joystick. If one is left handed, yeah, that's probably a good deal, but for a right handed pilot, that's got to feel awkward. I think I would prefer a control set up like the Cirrus.

[@motoole3200]

DA72 looks nice. What is the distance and longest flight time? A poem the airman by W. B. Yeats is about being a poilet in wartime. Fly High.

The center stick looks fun but do you ever worry about bumping the stick if you get restless legs and need to adjust sitting position while on autopilot?

[@kd7lxl]

It's hard to follow with so many jump cuts. I'd like to hear the full ATC exchange without a cut.

[@maccomusic]

Hey Hayley, love the videos! I was looking into the option of becoming a ferry pilot, but it seems a little difficult to find jobs in that field in the SoCal area. Any tips you can share or where to look for those positions?

[@FlywithHayley]

Networking! Talk to aircraft sales companies and brokers. There are also Facebook groups to join.

I thought 13L was better for possibly changing your Southwest flight then at the end you changed to 13R. I missed the reason.

Love was taking arrivals on the right, departs on the left so they changed it ,not Haley.

[@traumaman5150]

what is a checkout flight?

[@duathlete827]

Your job reminds me of the US WASP program during WWII and the tremendous job some 1200 ladies did for our country moving aircraft from MFG's and various airports all around the US to free up more men for combat flights. They became capable of flying every type of aircraft the men flew during their short two year period of service. I believe about 34 young women lost their lives in the process.

[@MichaelDocDale]

Love your channel. You have a lovely voice; when I am able understand you. No more music, please.
