is this DA20- C1?

music too loud.

Having learned to fly on the A-1 version, with its twin altitude-compensating carburettors, I learned that the A-1 is very underpowered. Rotax 912 is a reliable engine, but at 80 HP it is too underpowered for a two-seater. I got twice the climb rate while flying solo vs flying with my instructor. C-1 version seems to be a much better aircraft with its 160 hp engine. Plus the rear-facing windows improve rearwards visibility.

❤❤❤great vedio

That is the fastest starting katana I have ever seen. You deserve a medal for that start lol

Like many others in the comments, I’m also about to start at a flight school… and guess what planes they fly??? Thanks man, really insightful video. Now I’ve got a tiny head start ;)

Thank you so much for posting this video. So helpful! ❤

Never pour the fuel back in from a tester!

Good video. I'm about to start flying again and I'm going to use the Diamond DA20... so this video helped getting a feel for the basics of this airplane. Thank you

I wonder why nobody seems to perform the procedure that is very important for a Rotax engine. That is before starting it (ignition switch off!!!), remove the oil cap and then manually rotate the prop 3-4 turns until you hear some gurgling of the oil. That makes sure to have enough lubrication for the startup. If you skip that, the engine experiences unnecessary extra wear causing reduced lifetime.

Thanks for the video. What did you use to out your speed and elevations in the video?

Nice flying shoes!

Thanks bro

Thank you for not cranking up the engine to 1700 RPM like the checklist says to. It's rough on the engine before the oil has a chance to lubricate it.

Need to yell clear before that prop runs!!!

Was watching videos on DA20C1. Funny to come across yours. I recognized that airport. didn't take long to realize you're preflighting one of the Diamonds at KSMD. I am a student pilot, currently training part 141 there. Cool to come across your video. 🙂 You forgot to check the tires, struts, brake pads, propeller, air intake, and air filter 😉 Great job though, especially with interior checklist! Happy flying and may your landings always be soft friend.

Port Austin is Lake HURON....tip of the thumb

Interesting, nice to know the intensity can be controlled via radio signals!

RIP N212DX tho 😢

Like the vid did not like the fact you did not "CLEAR" the area considering ther was a work truck right next to you

Hi, for the stall it sucks air out of it. Thank you for the great video !

Nice and very helpful. But I think you did not yell "clear" before starting engine???

thank you for the video, a good refresher for me. Perhaps a little wing down top rudder for that cross wind will help you stay better aligned with final

Dude this was so helpful, thank you so much!

Did you have to hold the phone up the whole time?!?!?!?

Great video! I’m impressed with the camera clarity. What did you use to record? Also, I fly with Sweet and often in the DA20s!

My god your friend is the luckiest guy. I have been dreaming to fly with someone who would also let me have a go at the stick.

I would also check the gear struts and tires, check the prop and spinner, and dump the sumped fuel instead of pouring back in. Other than that, pretty good.

4:03 the SUCKING actually creates the noise of the stall horn. Not the blowing. You could just as well use your mouth to give it a good s u c c and achieve the samw

Thank you, have a good flight :)

Hei Buddy! Thank you very much for this amazing video. I'm looking forward to attend flight school in 2021. The plane they use is the DV20, similar to this one i guess. The video was very informative. Would you ever consider to do a video on taxi, pre-takeoff and takeoff? I just cant wait until i get to fly and get my ppl :-) Thank you again, have a good one!

Awesome! Just there yesterday in buddys 182.

This is a great video. Thanks.

You're not supposed to put the fuel back into the airplane when you've drained it. It has to be discarded in a fuel drain container. Otherwise, thanks for good video!

Thanks for the detailed review of the da20! I start my college flight training in a week and will be flying the da20 hopefully. This helped me become familiarized with all the instruments!

Really enjoyed your video. :) I've just learned about PCL and am intrigued with the history. But none of my Google searches has turned up the date when pilot-controlled lighting first went into use. Do you have any information on that or how/when they were developed or even where they were first used? If you have any reference to point me to, I'm happy to go looking for my own info. :) Thanks much.

Thank you! Checking out in a DA20 next month after years of flying older Cessnas, so this is very helpful.

Cool :)

Pretty sure you were in my ground class. If your the guy who always brung the monster and went to sweet aviation then you were- it was the class of 2020

Thank you! Very informative.!! Was searching a lot for such a practical video

Excellent video! I hope I can see some more from you!

Congratulations dude. Proud of u

I was once night training when I was new to aviation couple year ago and I needed the runway lights so I just turned them on it was soo cool

Is that a DA20 or DA40?

Lovely video happy to see you guys again...

Awesome man

What is your name??
