Piper Meridian (4K), Full IFR Flight: Augsburg (EDMA) to Friedrichshafen (EDNY)

Wirklich sehr interessante Videos mit der Meridian. So eine Turbine ist schon was Feines 😊

[@wolfgangkarner]

Danke! Sie haben ja so recht ;-)

@@wolfgangkarner was kostet eine Charterstunde ungefähr, wenn ich fragen darf (ich habe gar keine Lizenz, nur aus Interesse)

[@wolfgangkarner]

@@audioenergy Ich kann es nur ungefähr sagen weil die Maschine so gut wie nicht verchartert wird. Die Stunde dürfte sich zwischen 1.200 und 1.500 Euro bewegen ... nicht ganz günstig aber das sind in etwa die Selbstkosten ... hinzu kommen natürlich noch nutzungsabhängig die diversen fees für Airport und ATC

[@audioenergy]

@@wolfgangkarner okay, vielen Dank. Sowas habe ich mir gedacht. Meridian, TBM und PC12 liegen bei den Charterkosten gar nicht so weit auseinander.

[@pybelleau]

Nice, you added the comm.

[@wolfgangkarner]

Only half of it ;-) ... the speakers were "coincidentally" on

[@pybelleau]

Leave it on it is better.

[@AMoose454]

Great upload. Thanks for sharing. What camera did you film with?

[@wolfgangkarner]

THX, appreciate your comment! Like always: iPhone11 Pro ;-)

Is there a black box or flight recorder onboard

[@WolfKarner]

No there is no black box or flight recorder on board ...

[@pybelleau]

How the sound level in the M500 compares to the Diamond DA-62 ? Sounds loud on the computer.

[@wolfgangkarner]

Objectively, the DA62 is much louder than the Meridian. The pressurized cabin probably makes the difference. Communication between people on board without headsets is much easier compared to the DA62

Why wing de ice on without any ice? Isnt it useless?

[@wolfgangkarner]

The rule is: Activate "surface de-ice"-boots as soon as the airplane enters icing conditions. That means when the air contains droplets of supercooled liquid. These droplets freeze on contact with a potential nucleation site, which in our case is the parts of the aircraft, causing icing. Therefore you sometimes get a little icing only, moderate or heavy icing. On this flight to Friedrichshafen we were lucky and did not pick up much ice. On our way back to Augsburg a few hours later, we loaded quite a bit of ice during descend to the airport. I recorded this flight too and I will put it on my channel within the next few days ...
