  • Episode 1 takes us from Wiener Neustadt, Austria, to Paphos, Cyprus. Micke shows Luis the ferry-flight ropes and advises us what to pack, snack, and what not to open in a DA62 cabin at 11,000 feet. We see the features of OE-FGZ’s iridium antenna in action, and Luis hand flies into LCPH.

    Would love to own this aircraft one day! Literally on my bucket list to fly one of these. Trained on the DV20 out of CTFTC in Cape Town, and just got my CPL/IR/ME on a Seneca II . Doing my FI stuff now. Hopefully see this baby one day in the future :)

    What a great video, hopfully the first of many to come. Micke and Luis certainly work well as a team with a great rapor that makes for thorougly entertaining viewing. This channel has created some of the best general aviation content on youtube, as well as being a great advertisment for Diamond Aircraft and the DA62.

    A video overview of what went into the flight planning and permits for overflights would be a great dimension to add on the series.

      To keep things short, all permissions were done by “GASE” “General Aviation Support Egypt” . Basically we sent them the routing and then they did their magic😊

    I thought you both were wearing fake mustache by looking at the thumbnail, that is why I clicked lol. Although I'm a huge fan of Diamond, and especially of DA-42 and DA-62.

    Great video as usual! Micke, how come you switch PITOT & (Stall Heat?) off when on the cruise? We always keep it on from runway to runway in the UK, and that's how I was taught.

    • @MickeLang
      @MickeLang 8 месяцев назад +1

      Hi mate, because we had no visible moisture and mostly plus degrees so we decided to keep it off then. Thanks😊
