I have done the same flight myself and there is no way one can describe the emotions and beauty of this scenery. It simply must be lived. Flying low, from morning to evening seeing the light change the colours, and with no clouds is simply unique. Micke your 6h flight must have been among the best of your numerous crossing!
That's 100% right. I was quite focused during this one but scenery wise it was out of this world!
Thanks for watching Francesco :)
Ohio in the United States loves your channel and your videos!! Been watching ever since you made the first Atlantic crossing!!!!!!!!
Thank you for following allow!☺️
Haha me too, feels like a parent sometimes.
Can you give more stats about the flight and more close up's of the panel please. Long time to sit in one spot. Thanks for sharing the flight !!!
What do you want to know ;)
Wow! Thank you for sharing the awesome views. They were quite literally breathtaking.
Greenland is always breathtaking!!
Its so cool to watch this trip of yours, really inspiring! I hope i can make a ppl someday.
That last controller was quite possibly the clearest I have ever heard!
Great video ! Very well done at this extraordinary long flight
Amazing, really enjoy your videos and this one is special from the photos, love how you highlight your learning opportunities and even some of your mistakes in your videos! love the scenery in this video
Thanks for the insight. Amazing sceneray, great airplane. A dream
beautiful landing! 10/10! super interesting! Beautiful plane! Like a sports car!
Love each and every episode; thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Excellent series !
Thanks Luke! More inverted flying is needed right? ;P
Thanks for including so much of the amazing scenery, really liked this one!
You're welcome :)
Thanks for sharing this experience
Thank YOU for watching!
Those were some crazy amazing pictures you got there from greenland :D
And it was really interesting to see how fatigue began creeping up on you.. Can't imagine doing a 6hr flight alone
Well done, you! Stunning scenery. Thank you so much.
Thanks Chris!
Jattekul videon! Tack, Micke! :-)
Amazing video Micke! What an incredible scenery! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for coming back to the channel again mate!
I really love all your videos man. Such a good display of love for aviation, the DA62 and piloting. Will you do a video explaining how you plan flights and set autopilot specifically in the diamon?
Wow!! What stunning scenery...and a loooong flight. Really have enjoyed this series of videos. Good job!
Thanks Don!
Impressive video combined with consistent music, good work👍
What a beautiful landscape, great to fly with Micke airlines!!!!!! new sub! 73 from Argentina!
I love the view!!
Same ;)
Super interesting, spectacular footage, thanks a lot 👍
Thanks Frank :)
Absolutely amazing, view and aircraft performance. Well done 👍
Thanks :)
Great video. Thanks
Thanks Jake!
Thank you for many nice videos Micke. You sound very relaxed after 6 hours and field in sight 😄
Thanks for watching Manu, yes was quite nice to get down there ;)
That was a very tight downwind. Great video
Yepp, that's possible in the Diamonds ;)
Thanks :)
Another excellent video.
Thank you Fred!
Safe flights Micke!
Thank you!
as always a very nice video. Great video cut and nice music selection. It fits very good to your story. I am looking forward to your next video. Thank you for sharing, man.
Thanks Holger! Much appreciated!
mega cool pictures from above - if the time and situation allows it - more of them are welcome.
You make me wanderlust - and that's good - thank you for that!
Thank you Ralph, a lot more is coming! I have 5 more crossings on the hard drives to edit ;)
Winter weather looks much more enjoyable from above!
Nice landscape and view all around 😊
Thanks Clarence! :)
Congrats Micke! I love long cross countries but 6:08 is a long time to spend in a GA plane. Great flight management and super photography! 👍
It is😂 Thanks Trevor!
great video!!!
Thanks!
Great job, keep it up!
I'm an ATPL student and I can't wait to complete all the theory exams and then start the IFR training and finally take the twin-engine rating with this fantastic aircraft!
Thanks Denis! Trust me, the studying is worth it! Good luck! :)
Hi Micke, what a beautiful video; thank you for sharing this with us! I have got into the habit of programming the AP before the departure. That allows me to check whether the routing is entered correctly and compare it with the clearance. Finally, I have to activate the AFCS when up in the air without tipping a further button. For landing, I fly and train a landing decision point concept with the 62. Until LDP I fly with flaps T/O and 110 KIAS, then the decision to land is made and after that flaps LDG with Vtgt. That gives me the advantage of excess power for a GA in a OEI situation with a much better climb rate. My experience is 1 kt over Vref results in 20 ft/min climb rate. With the 62 with 110 KIAS, then 400 Ft/min plus over Vy climb rate until the Vy is pitched. Take care of you my friend and always happy landings!
Hey Micke.. Brilliant video..Absolutely marvelous✅.. Very KIYADIYATI.. 🕋👍👌👌
Awesome approach bro and I have to.... BUTTER landing! :)
Thanks Michael☺️
Amazing amazing Micke.
6 hours a true testament to the endurance and distance the diamond can go and the pilot. Lol
That was a test yes😂
good video thanks
thanks
Back In 1987 I flew the same route, in a Fairchild Swearingen Metroline II
WOW! That must have been an adventure!
@@MickeLang indeed.
Cool video & congrats! Off topic but; how does the DA62 maintain cabin pressure when you have those small windows you can open next to you, at the front?
Micke, what an awesome flight!
Could you give an advice. What life west you using. I need to buy one for sea crossing. But struggle to choose.
Nice videos Micke! What is the brand of drysuit you use?
Super and fantastic flight! What is the type of your plane?😊👍
Amazing views with these vast distances with no human Habitate in sight you can feel very lonely out there.
True, it's quite amazing to see this and to think that nobody has aver been on these mountains before!
Hammer Flug 😎
Danke :)
looks very intersting I'd love to go on a flight in a 42 or 62. Hopefully I can find a school with one to do my multi
Interesting, I don't recall seeing the computer screen refresh in prior vids... beautiful flight, great fuel conservation. I hope the stewardess (sexist just to be funny) served nice meals on this long flight...
haha I wish ;)
when do you use Anti-Ice? and how do you use it?
I love DA-62 MSFS2020
What was your air speed at 55% power? I know people have backed down to less power on this plane for longer runs, but that would have made your flight a wonderful 7-8 hours I would guess.
hey micke, would love some more detail on the DA62 specifics and how to fly it so we flight simmers can replicate on MSFS like it's real life
What exactly do you want to know? :)
@@MickeLang route w/waypoints,winds aloft, UTC time departing Wick, general idea of weather at departure, enroute and destination.
Hi Micke! Could you tell the full procedure of how you organize refueling? Do you need to call or write an email in advance? Do you pay on the spot or are you billed later? Do you simply ask for refueling upon arrival? Thanks!
I always contact the handlings before and they make sure fuel is there on arrival. About the payment, this is company internal ;)
Hi, great video 👍🏼
Do you fly on msfs too? 🤔
thanks Sebastian, no I don’t :/
@@MickeLang, OK. Maybe in future? 🤔
@@sebastianfaber9216 I don’t think so😂
@@MickeLang, OK.
Well done mate. When was this flight?
Thanks Chris, this was in January 2022👍🏼
@@MickeLang Jan 22 and 23 have had brutal headwinds. Thankfully I'm Pax.
@@seagullsbtn Oh yes!
Very good choice of music. VERY nice view of the country. Great Video. Thanks. Dana VE6KBI
Thanks Dana, much appreciated! :)
why dont you run the engines/oil up to hot, then shutdown and top up fuel then take off ?
BRAVO HUT ab !!! Und Dein Steißbein , tut es gar weh ? Oder sind diese relative dünnen Sitzschalen bequem für 6.Stunden Flüge ? Viel Glück beim nächsten Trip rüber nach Canada 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
In der 62er sitzt man wie ein König also da ist ein Linienflug viel schlimmer ;)
Danke :)
@@MickeLang Ok Sonnenklar das Du das SO sagst ! 😎😀Must ja fast , als DIAMOND Muster Test & Berufspilot Pilot !
@@clouddancerticino7006 Das sag ich nicht weil ich es muss, das sag ich weil ich das so finde. Ich will auf dem Kanal ehrlich sein und das bin ich auch. Ich mache auch keine unnötige Werbung für irgendwelche Produkte mit Rabattcodes weil ich das nicht ehrlich finde. Ich zeige Dinge wenn ich davon überzeugt bin und wenn ich sie benutze (Foreflight, Logten Pro zb) aber nicht wenn ich dafür extra bezahlt werde. Also, ich sitze in der 62 wirklich sehr gut und falls mir was nicht gefällt, sag ich es. Als Beispiel, die Landung in Island, da erwähne ich auch, dass ich das helle Deice Licht am Panel zu hell finde und es nicht mag☝🏼 Also bitte nicht glauben dass ich hier Dinge sage weil ich es „muss“.
@@MickeLang Gut so Danke für Deine Ehrliche Antwort und bleib uns erhalten ! Happy Landing überall auf dieser Wunderschönen Welt , zu der wir Menschen mehr Sorge tragen sollten !
It's a very long flight. I remember when I did 6.5hrs in the DA40 to Spain due winds and its a mammoth duration. I bet you needed a wee after that one.
6.5 in a 40?! Wow! Power setting of 50%?
@@MickeLang 6.5 hours flight time at 50-60% then 70% due to 60KT headwinds for the majority of the flight. Below was CBs so had to stay high and it was the TDI with extra range tanks ;)
@@MickeLang ruclips.net/video/c_AAqoCIu08/видео.html
@@TheFlyingVLOG holy smokes! Do you also have 39 GAL max in yours?
@Micke Lang Yes, I was very close to diverting into PPG or MPL. But I worked out the last 20 of the 6hrs 20 was descent into Girona. Never again, though, my limit will be 5hrs 30 planned. Divert if it's above that. Luckily it was VMC.
out of curiosity, do u have an atpl or cpl ? willing to fly jetliners in the future?
CPL with ATPL theory, right now I'm happy where I am :)
@@MickeLang so basically you’re just missing the mcc and uprt to have a Frozen atpl right?
@@userDFboeing I have the MCC and the JOC. UPRT is smth I don’t have but not needed unless I want to do a type rating.
Which brand and model is your immersion suit?
This one is from Switlik but now I have one from Viking, will be seen in future videos ;)
👍
I think you're interpreting the wind not correctly on the GRAMET. The headwind you are talking about is actually a tailwind! The tip of the wind arrow shows to the right and the tail (feathers) is on the left, so the wind is coming from left, i.e. it's a tailwind.. but never mind, nice videos!
No I’m not, you have to take a look on the magenta arrow which shows the track (north west) and the wind arrow then comes almost from the front, it’s a headwind.
@@MickeLang Copied, now I got it! Thanks 🙂
@@TheBitterepille 😉
Could a DA42 make the same trip?
check the other videos in this channel, there are videos of the same route on a DA-42 not with this headwind though
Absolutely, last week I flew a DA42 over and had "almost" the same winds, flight time was almost 5 hours ;)
Vackra bilder, dina produktionerna blir bara bättre och bättre
Tack så mycket! Kul att läsa detta :)
A Wahnsinn!
8:08 Nothing more to say? My humbling suggestion: ... and you're fueling jet Fuel and not AvGas I might add ^^
The ole joke used to be "Greenland is Ice, and Iceland is Green"
hahahahaha
How do you pee in that plane?
open that little windows at your side an stick it out?
GREAT! Thank you so much.
Linguistic and logical detail: When you arrive in a foreign country, you cannot wish yourself or fellow travelers a "welcome to Greenland" or whatever. Local people can do that, but not those who arrive. Linguistic nonsense that one often hears in cabin crew announcements by flight attendants or pilots who have rather little linguistic sensibility.
Gilt auch im Deutschen: In Grönland anzukommen und sich und andere willkommen zu heissen, ist bestenfalls ungeschickt, schlimmstenfalls grob unhöflich. Es ist als ob Sie einen Fremden in einem für Sie fremden Haus willkommen hiessen. Das steht Ihnen nicht zu. Alleine der Empfangende und Heimische darf das.
Ist eine Kleinigkeit, die nichts an den wunderbaren Bildern, die Sie uns geschenkt haben, ändert.
Many happy landings.
why do you have to play that awful annoying music.....it sucks
nice,,, almost a full shift :)))
True ;)
