  • G1000s are now the industry standard.

    After flying it, or an Avidyne, no one wants to return to steam gauges. And now the artificial terrain and 'highway in the sky' are an incredible improvement to safe flying.

  • (almost)everybody can fly, but don't forget, that you have to aviate, navigate and communicate, which can be a lot more difficult than riding a trepel wheel bike

  • @dr0lukasz sight seeing?

  • One comment... IMHO flying on flaps so long (1500ft above) is not a good idea, you just producing drag, a specially when you flying in top of white arc.

  • how can one not like a 172.... but on the other hand i havent actually found one that i didnt enjoy flying...... but as they said the 40 is easy to fly and actually nimble....

  • nice vid

    would be good if you can add some narrative for the uninitiated

  • The DA40 is probably the nicest flying aircraft I have ever flown as far as "feel" and handling. Very smooth and fantastic handling characteristics due to it's wing design. The downside is that this wing design isn't as stable as other aircraft which matters a lot when flying IFR. Great plane though. The only real downside is the limited useful load.

  • You have to use the brakes to turn. Both airplanes are great to fly. The DA40 is fast, and you can see out of it better. it also has a constent speed prop. I find it a little harder to deal with the prop, but both are easy to fly.

  • nothing like flying some plastic around!!!

  • Does the da-40 use differential braking like the da-20 or can u control the nose wheel? thinking about flying it this week instead of the 172

  • I fly and own a symphony OMF which kicks ass over the Diamond.
