Same, except I'm 66, received my PPL when I was 17. Pilotes these days have no idea what its like at night, doing an instrument approach with paper maps. Even a night VFR XCountry flight. Had to hope you never dropped a pencil. I still use my e6b for planning and in flight to double check what I'm seeing.
I have been flying the DA-62 for 2 years for an owner. It is very high tech and easy for single pilot IFR but this plane is a maintenance nightmare. It has been down repeatedly for small and major issues including the gear not extending (on a very low hour aircraft) resulting in expensive damage. They aren’t fast. They are not roomy. I’d take a Seneca V any day over it
No doubt it's beautiful but.... at a cost of $2,000,000 USD, and assuming a commercial jet fight ticket costing $200 USD for a short flight withing Europe, one would need to take 10,000 flights in the DA62 just to cover the cost of the aircraft alone! It's certainly food for thought...
A Cirrus is immensely safe too, it has more built-in safety features than any other aircraft.... Well....air safety is really about the actions of people than about aircraft design !
King Air 90... half the price, faster, carries more, has a lav, and PT6 turbines, pressurized, icing. Yeah, take $1.2mm leftover and you basically almost got the operating costs covered annually in investment returns... for a much more capable plane. Oh yeah, and PT6's- about as save as they come.
I have a thing about burning to a crisp after a crash. Diamond is the only manufacturer that seem to have spent at least 1 hour thinking about that. Having an actual tank(what a concept) between a dual spar, is enough to give them my vote. Only if I have the money to buy one.
@@christopherhand4836 So every pilot who died burned because the engine quit and they crash was a bad pilot? Really? So people that died driving a car without an airbag, where bad drivers? You need help.
Not really comparable for most intended uses I would imagine. However, the SR22T is another desirable craft, that is for sure. How many kids do you have? 😀
@@malu1548 Well, looks like the SR22T is a better option for you! I have 2 kids, so either would be suitable. Just need to scrape together a few mil... 😀 Cheers, Dave
The only safe piston twin engine and that's barely, in my opinion I think is the cessna 337. Otherwise I don't think there's really any safe piston twin.
This one is. Engine goes out you don’t have do any split second decisions. It barely feels different. Watch some real world videos about it. It’s amazing.
There are no safe airplanes, only safe pilots. Just like guns can't shoot by themselves. I will never be leery of flying any airplane that i know all there is to know about that airplane... Know your aircraft is what i was taught.
When people start to compare inefficient, way too heavy , small inside in comparison to the outside - SUV to the most efficient personal aircraft out there... 😅
I believe that the early Ercoupe is the safest airplane ever designed. The rudder is linked to the ailerons and cannot be cross controlled, hence the plane is almost impossible to stall when making that base-to-final turn. Fred Wick had the solution. Cessna destroyed it. Way to go...
That's weird because in flight sim the DA 62 is thr aircraft I have crashed far more than other aircraft. It doesn't like flying slow and that's what they use for the Tokyo discovery tour and that is where I have crashed every time (in the Tokyo discovery tour) trying to do low, slow, high bank angle turns around buildings. It really really doesn't like to do that.
@@PendeltonWhiskey Are you properly trimming the aircraft as you fly it? i have msfs also and i find that the da 62 needs a lot of trim in certian manouvers..
If im not mistaking, this thing used to cost 1.2-1.3 M. How did it get to 2 M so fast !? Also it is said that a chinese firm that makes automotive and plane parts bought 60% stock of the company. Does that means that the plane now costs more and uses chinese parts ??
Pilot error always has and probably always will account for about 80% of aviation accidents. Maybe buy a Mooney, which has the same performance as this plane with half the fuel cost, and spend the extra 1.5 million on training.
I would love to see what the sales figures in Europe are between the lighter and heavier version. Once you have the $$$ necessities to buy one of these, do the higher ATC fees for the heavier aircraft really bother you? If so, are they all grounded with the explosion of diesel/JetA prices and you spent all your money on the plane and can't afford to fly it? I mean ATC/CASA fees in Australia are horrendous (and have arguably contributed to the collapse of GA in this country), but if I won the Powerball, I'd just laugh it off, as I'd laugh off the fact that here this is a AU$3million(!) aircraft.
I talked to a distributor in the UK. They’ve sold none of the lighter version, all of their sales have been of the max mtow one. I think the lower one is only for businesses flying with one or two only looking to avoid airways fees.
@@snn689 Interesting, thanks! I believe you can get the "business seating" arrangement even for the max TOW, right? (not like I keep the price-list under my pillow for the Lotto Fairy to find it.

Someone's never herd of the Cirrus SF 50 G2 which has not only a built in parachute that when deployed allows for the plain to land safely and softly, but has a return home safe feature that allows you to click a button allowing the plain to land itself at the nearest air port, for emergencies of course.
check the cert papers for the cirrus planes. they dont offer the chute for your safety, they couldn't pass the safety reqs without it. good luck with that.

You are absolutely correct! At least 60% of today's twin pistons will not fly on one engine except in extraordinary circumstances! All they do is give pilots FALSE sense of security and they try to continue flying "low altitude, T/O and Ldg" on single engine until they get below their minimum control limits, then they roll on their back and kill everyone! Also, the pilot must be extremely diligent and have continuous engine out training at least every 90 days to be safe! About the best you can do on most recip twins is if you lose an engine at low altitude, pull the good engine back and maintain CONTROL! You can't argue with proven statistics! Give me a single turbine any day over a light recip twin!
@@pilot3016 People do not realize, especially in the older 50's-70's light twins, the reason they have two engines is because at that time, they did not have an opposed cylinder "non Radial" engine big enough to power the airframe, so they put two engines on to get them in the air! Not so they could fly on one engine! Look at the early Piper and Cessna twins, marginal at best!
This guy is obviously not in aviation. Just one example, service ceiling or any altitude would never be given in meters. It's always in feet. Yeah aviation units of measurement is weird, we use knots and feet for speed and distance, but metric for temperature. It's all over the place >_
I loves me a practical man. Lear sure is awesome, though. If you honestly would enjoy this DA, we'll buy it. Her christened name will be "Panty Dropper" (snicker). We"ll book Mile High parties only.

Purchase price is only part of the story. Operating cost is more important ( fuel efficiency, maintenance cost) would be interesting to see those cost compared.
This video literally just took the same 6 ad videos combined them and then repeated the performance specs in three different units if measurement.
Yet, he manages not to list fuel consumption figures in ANY metric. Smh.

Obsessed.

So glad to see this as I build cirrus aircrafts
I am flying a Cirrus…but there are so many nice islands and when travelling over water the parachute doesnt help…
If I could, I'd probably just buy it for being so beautiful.
A lovely looking aircraft, but as to safety, remember the old adage: 'aircraft don't crash; it is only pilots that crash'.
That's insulting to all pilots who have faught mechanical failures
Never heard that one, must be new....
Remember. The spoon is straight...
It is you who are gay....
