ICON A5 Demo Flight

Price: $400k+

I got the great opportunity to fly with a fellow ForeFlight guy today in the ICON A5. Brint took me up for a quick hop to splash in a bit of water and get a good feel for how capable the airplane really is. I expected to like it, but after flying it I REALLY like it. :)

I didn't do any commentary on this video, figured the intercom audio spoke for itself. We flew out of 3R9 airport: Lakeway Airpark. Really cool little place.

I think flight simulator 2020 it's the best advertising for the icon A5

If these ever become affordable some decade, i can see this being one of the first 'air' cars to go mainstream.

That is still one of the most fun planes I have flown! Being able to fly with the windows open adds to that immersive experience.

I'm more amazed at all the homes that have their own access to the runway! Holy cow that's awesome. And holy cow I'm poor :-(

This is the coolest plane ever! I love how simple it is but still has so many cool features.

Holy car plane! The minute I saw this on MFS2020 I couldn’t even believe the fact that the cockpit looked so much like a car in which it’s not hard to start up

[rauleli]

Wow!! This is the most realistic video experience flying an icon a5 i´ve found! From the take off to the final landing! That camera or the video editing, holding steady the background, gives a much more truer feeling of the whole scenario! Congrats! And thank you for sharing this experience!

Cool video. Glad you enjoyed the flight!

I came here from the Microsoft flight sim game and I love this!

[Jerrys_missing_finger]

That runway landing was chefs kiss... gusty approach to perfect touchdown and instructors reaction, good stuff

[bryantg]

You can even see on the video the airplane begin to accelerate when you relieve back pressure on the stick and it really gets in the step !!!! Super cool deal !!!

great video, between all the demo vids from the company and fooling around in flight sim 2020 with it, i am amazed to see the stall handling and impressed with the smoothness of water landing vs a normal float plane. its quite an engineering feat to see, and i love the AoA focused coaching. i hope more planes and instruction transition to this common sense approach of wing management

If I ever win the lottery this is the first thing I would buy!!

[MADhaseX]

This is not a plane... this is a flying car... it's so easy to fly, even my 7 year old son did it after a few minutes in the sim.
And in this video, it looks exactly the same.

[sqlevolicious]

For real, I thought this was a msf2020 video, just shows how real that sim is

[damianhernanadez]

Best video on this plane yet thank you!!!

[PaulGarthAviation]

Really fun to watch. Awesome aircraft.

What really stood out was the competence and demeanor of the CFI.

[MattZaycYT]

I can't believe how soft this is. Beautiful.

Add that to your hanger you got all the bases covered. High and fast in the TBM and low and slow with the windows off in the A5. Life is good!
