Short field landing DA42

[skybolt811]

you get a 9.5 for that landing

[TheSavageB]

Cant say that was a short field landing.

Nice flying man... Love this A/c, one of my favorite when i was in flying school!!! Keep flying man...

[BigJonBone]

When I went on my check-ride, I got pretty lucky on my short field landing. I had like a 20 knot headwind going right down the runway. I just sunk right to my mark and stopped in about 400 feet. It was the shortest short field I have ever done for sure.

I just felt like bragging! Lol.

Whats the glideslope speed for that

[tzuchen2003]

did you land short ?

[slav4o1]

doesnt look like a short field landing ,

[gilz16]

perfect landing! but It doesnt seem to be a short field landing....you are supposed to clear a 50ft obstacle before your aiming point

NZHN? Who are you flying with? I didn't know anyone else in NZ had Diamonds.. Lol.. I'm assuming you're Hamilton CTC?

[jamrocx]

pretty long displaced threshold..looks like 1/3 of the runway..lol

[robbieboy22]

Lol, yeah. And there were some places we went where we had to use it!

[skysurfer0805]

lol, you call this a short field landing . but cool video!

[skysurfer0805]

of course i see you ment the technique ... ;)

[robbieboy22]

Affirm.

[aviatorsbh]

Crosswind from right side?

[robbieboy22]

Absolutely no difference personally. You fly a lot of the time in yoke aircraft with one hand on thrust levers/ throttle and the other on the yoke, so that sense it's hardly different at all.

[TREXBORLON]

The only thing I don't like about Diamonds is that they have a stick rather than a yoke which I'm used to, but I've heard it's easy too get to stick. Is that right if you only flown yokes?

[robbieboy22]

Yeah not great asymmetric but the avionics kit was amazing for IFR training!

[pininfrna]

Very nice landing. Looks like a fun plane to land (and fly too I imagine)

[robbieboy22]

Thanks for the comments guys, AFM stated if I can remember (finished flying it 9 months ago!) that max demonstrated x-wind was 20 knots, but on the DA-42 you had plenty of rudder authority to do quite a bit more!

[crabAndSlip]

It looked as if it was going to land in a crab... Very nice-smooth landing though.

[ecuaviation]

good technique there mate, keep up the good work

[topgunbobby]

how much knots of cross wind correction do you get out of that bird?

[Aaron1701NX]

i don't know about the DA42, but the DA20 is certified for about 20 knots of crosswind. seeing as how similar the planes are i'd say the DA42 can handle the same if not a little more
