There is a difference between knowing how to use them and being competent in their use. Competence is achieved by experience. You can use the charts in a classroom and in the seat of an air conditioned Diamond and fly just fine in clear Florida weather. Get into real IMC in a crappy old cessna or piper with no GPS, and that will be what determines skill. I highly recommend everyone who rents glass to get into a crappy plane once in a while. This isn't just to riddle students.

@HDaviator Right, because we clearly are never made to use our sectionals or anything...
-
the famous two-for-one landing.

The Seminoles had GPS too. The Twin Stars just make it super easy use the GPS.
Overall, I hear the Twin Stars are a lot of fun to fly and a hard landing in the DA42 is a good landing in the Seminole( boy, did the Seminoles land firm). The only bad things I have heard is that they suck gas now with the Lycomings, the CG sucks, and as already alluded to with the Vmc demo requires a lot of rudder to maintain control( why they took so long to get certified I hear).

@ushockeyguy17 hahahahahahahahahahahaha! xD this actually made me laugh
-
they actually just got some brand new diamonds in at embry riddle and they are phasing out the pipers now. there are only a couple pipers left. i can't wait to fly the diamonds. i haven't flown glass yet cuz i took my single engine in a round dial and now i fly the pipers. the diamonds look nice but i hear they are a bitch to do vmc demo cuz you have to press hard on the rudder

oh .. i do miss this place ! good memories!
-
I got my multi-engine rating at Riddle back in October in the Seminole.
I'll take a Seminole over the Twin Star any day, lol.

Riddle will forever elude my understanding. The Seminoles are superior trainers. The Diamonds produce inferior pilots, bottom line. I am willing to bet that if you put a riddle kid on a old cessna with no GPS they wouldn't know how to get around the airport, let alone fly.
