Diamond DA20-C1 with Garmin 500 flight

G500 DV20 experience over Central Alberta. Includes 15 second takeoff run, and footage of the dual Garmin G500 screens in action. These units are coupled to the GNS430W in this light 2 seater aircraft. The excellent visibility of the Diamond Katana is well demonstrated.

Yes, you're right - it is an Eclipse. The G500 is neat...although it isn't an IFR aircraft the situational awareness is excellent, especially in areas you are not as familiar with. Also, no money wasted on my part. I rent the aircraft from a flying club and it is less expensive to rent than a C172 :-)

Hello,

This isn't a Katana (A1), but an Eclipse (C1).
