Very professional and informative. Flip flops not the best foot wear for flying. If one of my students showed up in flip flops, I’d send them home.

[@Mike-cs9jr]

The sound of the engines during the ECU test is just beautiful!

[@talonpilot]

Great video, thanks for sharing and giving us that dont/cant own a DA42/62 a little insight into the normal checklists fm preflt to takeoff! ....on a personal side note, I noticed you wearing flip flops.... Kinda a personal pet peeve of mine! Of course you can ‘what if’ everything to death but what if you had to evacuate quickly, especially after a crash and trying to move around torn metal and such could be difficult. Just something to think about. Thanks again for the video. (And yes, I realize this video is several years old)

[@virajpatel9679]

I start flying this tommorow for my IR renewal...thanks for such a great reference...no doubt I'll be watching it again and again :)

wow! what a lengthy process before a flight, maybe one day we can hope to just get in and fly in the same way we can just get in a car and drive.

[@fly8ma.comflighttraining199]

You can do it!

[@yacahumax1431]

In reality is really short. Just the ECU test. Everything else is just making sure everything is ok. You dont want to fly with your canopy open(for example). Most people dont even check if they have fuel on their cars. Again, something that you want to make sure you have before flying.

[@urbancommute5239]

@@yacahumax1431 ok

[@u.s.patriot3415]

Awesome video John! If the DA42 is also marketed to Flight Schools, Diamond should offer optional dual panel mounted side-stick controls (as found on Airbus Aircraft) and/or dual rams horn yokes (as found on Boeing/many other commercial Aircraft). Just seems like it would help with muscle memory or familiarity when heading for the Airlines. Just my humble opinion.

[@karlsandin4515]

U.S. PATRIOT naw, going between diamonds and cessnas myself I’ve noticed it’s barley even noticeable , it moves the plane either way

[@bonnystarks]

the flipflops tho hahah

[@WilkElektronik]

I see that it's not only me who wears sunglassess the same way after putting headphones on :D Don't like the aviators so I have to deal with quite thick frames and they lower noise reduction capabilities.

[@mikerowell8627]

Hey nice video, looks like a fun plane to fly. One thing I noticed in watching several Takeoff videos is the pilot forgets to turn off the fuel pumps after take off. How soon do they recommend turning them off, and can it be a problem if you do forget.

[@fly8ma.comflighttraining199]

+Mike Rowell they usually get turned off around 1,000' or whenever the POH directs.... I typically never touch them below 1,000' agl

[@rickwells3836]

I have never flown with just a stick, it’s always been a yoke. Is there a major difference? Only reason I ask is because the flight school by me only has a da42 for multi and I’m scared I’m not going to like it.

[@airman64]

sounded like the props were uneven but boy that sure a beautiful airplane

[@leftcoaster67]

I thought I was nuts when I heard that.

[@ebykb661]

do you think this aircraft is capable of cross country ?? which aircraft would you pick if you are going on a world tour ? and why ( single or twin engine? )

[@fly8ma.comflighttraining199]

Depends on who's footing the bill for said trip???

[@andrewwatson4843]

Nice video! I would like to ask though, what is the ECU test?

[@fly8ma.comflighttraining199]

ECU test is basically your run up. It is testing the integrity of each engine control unit to ensure it is working properly. The engines in the DA-42NG are electronically controlled, very different from something like a Seminole with throttle, mixture, and prop levers connected to cables.

[@andrewwatson4843]

Ah i see, that is all because it has a FADEC right? Pretty amazing stuff! Thanks for explaining it. I'm looking forward to starting flight school in the next couple of years, just need to save up money for it. Every bit of knowledge helps haha. Cheers!

[@fly8ma.comflighttraining199]

Good luck! The more you study now the more money you'll save in training costs down the road!

[@andrewwatson4843]

Awesome! Cheers!

[@glibsonoran]

Yes, there are two ECU's, A and B, you can hear the RPM's rise then drop then rise again during runup, this is each ECU being tested.

[@svenf1]

You do both ECU run-ups at the same time..? Interesting, need to check with my CFI on that

[@glibsonoran]

Pretty sure you can do them either simultaneously or separately, your preference

[@maxnicely8926]

I think doing one at a time allows you to have more awareness per engine during the run-up

[@cherfieldm]

Nice airplane, is the seat adjustable for small people?

[@HyperDrive45]

the rudder pedals are

[@robertoNirengi]

may i ask type of the sunglasses?

[@jijojohn5168]

Its a best practice to close canopy before you start engines.

[@thatguyalex2835]

@@maxnicely8926 Lol... I have heard stories from a YTber that the DA42 lacks good interior climate control (bad at heating and cooling the cockpit and passenger compartments).

[@cosmodreamer]

The checklust calls for variable elevator backstop done with flaps on LDG. Did it still work for you when you did it after lifting the flaps?

[@fly8ma.comflighttraining199]

There's a couple different checklists for the da-42 based on the exact model and year. I just followed the one that matched the POH tied to that particular hull.

[@pilotwhite]

The checklist you were referencing says to do it with flaps set to land. Interesting, as the backstop should not kick in with flaps in the up position.

[@pilotwhite]

Think I can answer myself - as it's the NG (and has a bit more oomph), the backstop is active all the time. Not so with the older version.

[@terryterry1655]

Can't hear u after left engine start

[@vishnus4628]

very good weather😍😍

[@fly8ma.comflighttraining199]

Got to love FL, generally 20-30mi vis every day

[@MAGApepe]

thanks,, whats the reason to watch the fuel temp? can it get to hot or other reason? i know jet a1 is good to -47C i think , and can you control the fuel temp by any means, covers etc?

[@fly8ma.comflighttraining199]

Diesel, or Jet A is a little more temperature sensitive than regular AVgas. There is not a way for the pilot to control the fuel temp on that aircraft. Your most problematic temp would generally be too high of temperature for fuel on a diesel engine.

[@jasontooke]

I would have thought diesel would be more problematic in cold conditions (gelling)?

[@kanhasharma07]

Can someone tell me it’s operating costs with 1000 hours usage per year?

[@georgwassner9427]

What noise level (dB) do you have in the cockpit with 2 engines?

[@yacahumax1431]

I take classes on a da40ng. Same engine but one. The thing is LOUD. So I imagine is double that. I think only electric engines will bring that down to car level territory.

[@robertlashier8779]

What is the cruising altitude DA 42, and is this aircraft pressurized??

[@thatguyalex2835]

While I don't pilot planes, the aircraft isn't pressurized (yet cruises at 16,000 ft, so you need an O2 supply and mask), and apparently gets quite cold according to a DA-42 KZbinr. The Piper PA-31P Navajo is pressurized though, and is similar to this plane, except 40 years older. Lol... :)

[@onurcetin5371]

Great demonstration but i would like to see the call outs while you doing it. Also Why didnt you turn your taxi&position lights on?

[@karlsandin4515]

[@veryrandomchannel7214]

What trim are you useing

[@fly8ma.comflighttraining199]

Electric trim on the top of the stick, the trim indication next to the wheel on the center console was set to T/O.

[@terryterry1655]

Any turbine training video

[@efyxxx]

no flaps?

No. The take-off is supposed to be performed without flaps (the check-list requires flaps up for take-off) on the DA42 NG.

[@lancepeltier1081]

So I know I'm late commenting on this video but I just had to ask, flip-flops? Really? Not sure how I feel about that.

[@FamilyManMoving]

It's Florida. We wear them all the time. If it were Hawaii, he'd be flying barefoot.

[@tabu99]

curious-- why did you retract your gear so late into your climb? After positive rate and no sufficient runway left, you should have slung your gear up. You sure took your time.

[@USNavalAirForces]

Looks totally fine to me.

[@fly8ma.comflighttraining199]

Might just be the bend in the windscreen, but there was quite a bit of rwy and clearway left in front of me. I'm all about lifting it up early, however I want to have enough altitude that I would have time to cycle it back down if I did need to land straight ahead.

Hi Ali. It depends on your philosophy! Some CFI want you to retract the gear as soon as possible. Others prefer to wait until it is not possible to land straight ahead anymore. Taking into account the fact that putting the gear down requires between 6 to 10 seconds on this aircraft. It is the reason why it is sometimes better to wait a little bit prior to retract the gear in order to benefit from the remaining runway in case of emergency. A friend of mine undergone an engine failure during the climb on a single engine aircraft. It occured in an airfield where if he had retracted the gear he would have been forced to land in the river. In this case, hopefully, because the gear was still down, with the drag and the full flaps, he managed to land on the very last available meters of the runway.
