Flew this one here in Austria for internal testing before it went over the pond ;)
Fun to see where the planes end up and that they are on Youtube!
Best regards from Diamond Austria :)

I took delivery of a DA62 early this year. It’s a great airplane and just flew it with 3 200# guys plus bags 800 nm nonstop with almost an hour reserve. Both of these twins are amazing aircraft and lots of fun to hand fly!

Could listen to you talk about planes all day !. Great video👍

Wow, what an incredible flight in the 2023 Diamond DA42! The performance and capabilities of this aircraft are truly impressive. It's amazing how it maintains such a high cruise speed while being fuel-efficient. The avionics and features seem top-notch, making it a great option for pilots looking to transition into light jets. Thanks for sharing this in-depth

Redundancy comes with a maintenance cost . Agree on the multi engine hours building .
Always a pleasure watching ur vids .

[edwino.]

Big Diamond fan! I’ve probably watched every DA42/50/62 vide... One of these days!!! 😉
Great video! Thanks!!

11:22 "I got pumps, flaps & gear...easy" As he forgot the pumps entirely, lol.
That's a beautiful plane. I wish the rest of GA got with the times and used more advanced designs and technology like Diamond. For me, the fact that Diamond planes are all fiberglass, use Jet-A and have FADEC is a huge leg up on competition. They're simpler to fly, last forever and no rust issues.

That plane is absolute cherry! Great ride along video.

[J.T..]

Nice plane for sure, very unique look and efficient for multi time like you said. Thanks for another video Rich.

[skyepilotte]

Thx Rich for the flight...definitely a unique and capable aircraft...

[benjaminh]

[enricodigenova]

[timmartin]

Another fun "ride along" Rich's knowledge of all these aircraft is amazing.

[rawpilotraw]

I flew and delivery a lot in Europe and Africa...and very happy...
easy and jet a1....
nice video..as always

[benderaviation]

Did my multi in this model, great plane and experience overall. One dislike I had was how uncomfortable the rudder pedals are during single engine operations. Not a huge deal though since that was about my only complaint.

[davidkollins]

The evolution of your channel is just great! Too bad my client pulled out of the deal a couple years back! Fly safe man!

[davidfrench]

Rich, love your videos. I am disappointed how much planes cost. This is about $1.25 million, a G22 is similar, and a new Baron is almost $2 million? Good lord. I remember my former company buying a 1979 Baron 58 back around 1997 (so it was an 18 year old plane) for something like $180, 000. I used to wait to be a pilot, my finances just haven't worked that I could afford it (training costs), and I'd have to probably be in a flying club on a 50 year old 172.

[paradiserelaxation]

What a nice video! My dream, own a DA42.

[frankjablonski]

Thanks Rich, I always enjoy your videos.

That's a great useful load considering it's A/C and O2 equipped.
