who's plane?

@mikeydapilot Yeah somebody told me that they have a "TDI" version which I guess is a diesel... But I just did a little bit of research and I guess the lycoming is much more common. Especially here in the USA. In my opinion you really can't beat the sound of a lycoming, especially the one in the da40, its so quiet...

@mikeydapilot Well I know that, But all your videos tend to have nice flying! If I ever had to have a private pilot and I was really rich I would want you to be my private pilot haha

Do you happen to know if this is the Textron Lycoming version of the plane or not?

@goingtobeapilot Yes, this has the Lycoming engine. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that all DA40s use the Lycoming engine.

By the way Never got to mention to you that your night cruise back seemed really nice and peaceful : )

@CathayGuy Yea, night flights tend to be smoother. Winds are calmer, cooler air, less turbulence, etc.

Wonderful! The aircrafts instruments and GPS looked really nice! I'm guessing you couldn't have any drinks at the restaurant? Is it the same rule as for driving?

@CathayGuy Haha yea I didn't have any drinks at the restaurant, not only because I was flying but also because I'm 19. The regulations for pilots concerning alcohol are actually more stringent than for driving. The limit for the blood-alcohol content of a pilot is 0.04, half the limit for driving. The best rule of thumb, however, is "24 hours from bottle to throttle."
