Flying DA62 in icing conditions.

[@christopherbeddoe406]

That's my dream plane. Going to take me about 10 years but it will happen. Amazing performance and safety.

[@andie_pants]

Same here. It's the one payware plane I bought for X-Plane 11.

@Randall Billy thanks, signed up and it seems like a nice service =) I really appreciate it!

[@randallbilly1122]

@Tate Hamza No problem =)

An interesting thing about the TKS, it is anti-ice, not de-ice system. Meaning you have to turn it on before ice develops on the wing. A de-ice boot will break off ice when it is activated.

[@MarekMarciniak]

Generally speaking yes, but in Max Mode the amount of glicol should be able to remove already accumulated ice assuming it's not a lot of it.

[@leo3364]

You did not use deicing equipment, or it was not able to eliminate this ice?

[@MarekMarciniak]

I did use it. But you have 3 modes in a DA62 - normal, high and max. Normal is to prevent accumulation of ice, but if thats not enough you will use high or max to get rid of the already accumulated ice. That ice you see on the video was picked during operation in NORM mode. Then I used high and te ice magically disappeared 😁 Thanks for watching.

Two landings. What airport(s)?

Daimonds are the best... Looking forward for the DA50 RG 🙏🙏🙏

[@MarekMarciniak]

yes sir ! Can't wait !

[@alexs3187]

DA50 RG is my dream plane now. I wonder if Cirrus will start using the same engine.

[@Dhrruvv]

@@alexs3187 I've booked my test flight for it ... Hoping everything goes well then one day it will be in my hanger 🙏

@@Dhrruvv that would be awesome. When and where are you doing your test flight?

@@alexs3187 Due to Wuhan virus I've delayed the test flight. It will be done at daimond aircraft factory in Wiener Neustadt Austria.

What's that white box up in your dash with three green LED lights?

[@MarekMarciniak]

that's a Status antenna .

GoPro Max would let us choose where to look. Quite grateful for your posts anyway. Have a good one.

Is this FS2020? (I kid!) This is my favorite plane to fly in the sim, though.

What size iPad do you use?

Ipad Mini

[@NovejSpeed3]

I'm curious why are your pitots off if you're in clear icing conditions? Edit: I think you turned then on, why were they off in -24°C Temps? Are they only required in visible moisture at that temp.? Edit Edit: What a gorgeous plane ever fly to KRYY or KVPC? 😁

[@NovejSpeed3]

@@MarekMarciniak thanks for the info just got a new wrinkle in my brain

[@MarekMarciniak]

if you pause at 1:22 you will see that Pitot heat is set fir ON

[@MarekMarciniak]

Yes, the switch is set for ON. It might look like its in OFF position to some people but its definitely ON.

[@michaelhoffmann2891]

Is the 62 certified for known icing out of the factory or is that an add-on?

[@MarekMarciniak]

Out of factory

[@michaelhoffmann2891]

@@MarekMarciniak sweet. Not that we'd need it down here a lot. I searched and it seems there is 1 (one!) DA-62 registered in Australia. Make me sad. Anybody have the winning Powerball numbers for next weekend? 😭

[@MAGApepe]

0:02 - 24 C = pitot heat on :))

[@MarekMarciniak]

yup 😁😁

[@billjones3071]

Crazy, why fly through this ? where are you going your just asking for trouble

[@MarekMarciniak]

DA62 is designed to handle ice. It has a efficient ice protection system, so it's ok to fly through it with system ON. Of course you don't want to be in ice for hours but during climb to clear skies or during the decent and approach phase of the flight it is usually not a big problem for a plane like DA62 to fly through it. Of course you want to check the weather forecast, pilot reports etc to know where you should expect Ice and then plan your trip accordingly. If you don't have any ice protection in your plane - never fly through ice.

All that money and it doesn’t have adsb in?

it has it.

Flying in icing conditions with deice fluid "level low" - not good!

[@MarekMarciniak]

You get the low level message when you are down to 9 liters TKS fluid. Thats still over 55 minutes worth of fluid left at NORM mode or 27 minutes at HIGH mode. That day I was flying with oxygen well above the icing levels that were extanding from 1500 to 5000 feet in the area I was flying in. Everything was carefully calculated and I knew way before departure I will be in light Icing conditions for around 15 minutes total ( 2 take offs and 1 landing ). At that time I had 17 liters of fluid on board . Thats 1 hour 45 minutes worth of TKS ( at norm mode which I was primarily using). I had to use Max mode 2 times when Norm was not enough. Upon arrival to my destination airport I still had 6 liters left just like I planned. Plenty. Thanks for your reply.
