Flying & Landing a Diamond Star DA40 XL Seattle 2010

how much would this cost per hour rental? And do they do flight training on it at KBFI?

@PilotCJensen I'm not sure of cost per hour, but I know both Galvin and Wings Aloft both rent out Diamonds at BFI. My best guess for cost is $200-$250 per hour. I normally rent a C-182T at $195/hour.

@KD1video You're joking, right? Place here in CA charges $145/hour wet.

jealous of you guys for getting to fly outta KBFI! Wish I got to see 747 prototypes taxiing by on my way to the flight school :P the diamonds are great little planes.

I favourited this because of the 747-8F in the end, and because this is an awesome video showing great capabilites of the DA40! xD

I wonder how pilots deal with the rapid fire commands from ATC and fly the plane at the same time.

Great Video!!! Really nice example of the capabilities of the Diamond DA-40! Fantastic piloting as well. Only slightly disturbing are the steep turn practice maneuvers over the oil docks at 2,600ft. :-) Still fantastic video though and great landing at BFI.

What did you use to record atc?

[KD1video]

@goingtobeapilot: To record the verbal communications, you need a camera that has an audio input, then buy a cord online that plugs into the headset intercom system. Cheers.
