Two captains having epic fun. That kid in a candy store grin needed no explanation :)
Expensive toys though, but yeah 😋
It's interesting to perceive how uncomfortable and counterintuitive was to Mentour let the plane enter in stall. After years of training the concept seems to be written in stone to an airliner pilot. Great video Mentour!
A good pilot is always learning. 😁😁👍🏻
Yep, that’s my motto! Always learning, always improving, always innovating!
A good pilot is always walking away after landing
as a passenger...i prefer this :D
@Röhrich Oak See you next week. All the best, your...
@Röhrich Oak That's where i got it from. 👍🏻
The aircraft itself and the institutional knowledge base required to safely fly it are both marvelous feats of engineering. Watching Petter take instruction and more importantly balance the task loading between operating the aircraft, communicating with the ground and the FO/Instructor and actioning his instructions was really impressive. One of the best Mentour Pilot videos I've seen yet!
Looks like the mentor became the student. Excellent video.
Good pilots go in for reevaluations and continuing education. Bad pilots assume they know everything.
After this, I'd like to see him challenge himself with a single-engine Cessna with only VFR rating. It might be like riding a unicycle for him. Or maybe a Sopwith Camel. That would be incredible.
Im pretty sure a wiser man than I said somewhere that one can only become a master when you realize that you are in fact the student.
After the 1st gulf war my National Guard unit flew from Dahran to Dublin. After nothing but brown for months, the beautiful Emerald was too much to behold! A few people actually wept. We set down and were all given a Stout pint. Ireland will always be a joy in my heart. Thanks for this.
"It's quite sensitive." 😁
Just a wee bit of mass missing behind you...
The controls of Diamond aircrafts are really sensitive. Cessnas are completely the opposite. Like Boeing aircrafts most likely I guess. So it is not caused by the mass 😊
@@julienbey1082 Sorry to disagree with you, but there's this thing called the moment of inertia. No matter how "sensitive" the controls are, you cannot make a great mass change direction as quickly as a small mass. You could apply the same fallacious reasoning to attribute nimble handling in a sports car entirely to its rack and pinion steering, but the fact is that a 1000 kg car will be able to turn in faster than a 100,000 kg truck because of the difference in mass, regardless of the steering gear used. This is physics 101.
@@StringerNews1 I see your point and you are right in a certain way. Nonetheless all aircrafts are built in a different way. The
DA42 has a T-Tail, so the elevator is not as much affected as a normal Tail. So it also depends on the airflow, which hits on the elevator or not. So in some aircrafts you have to use more power to create the same lift. And as I fly a DA20 and C152, I know that every aircraft is handled in a different way, even though the weight difference between these 2 is 30kg. So the moment of inertia doesn't explain that phenomena in that way.
Other example, C152 and DA62 - the DA62 is a lot heavier but the control inputs are much more sensitive.
@@StringerNews1 Bugatti Veyron weights 1888 kg, and they say it's quite "sporty"
@AlbertoNencioni Ah, but Veyron would be that much faster if it was lighter! That said, I'm not sure that "sporty" is the right word, unless the sport in question is outright, straight-line speed records.
Actually, while it's very fast in a straight line, it's also rather heavy and _very_ stable at speed - which is the opposite of what "sporty" usually is. For better handing, faster cornering, more nimble rotation of the vehicle...you want less stability, not more (within limits, of course.) :-)
That DA42 sure is a pretty-looking airplane! There was one on the apron at my local airport (KAUW) while most of the Women's Air Race Classic crews came through. It was piloted by one of the air race officials. Most of the aircrews who had time and had never been near one went over to drool upon it...along with the local pilots!
Good to see Mentor keeping a hand in small aircraft...keeps the blood fresh!
@Mentour Pilot. Aileron in the stall at 5:50. Naughty boy! The down aileron increases the angle of attack on the upgoing wing and can cause that wing to drop and begin a spin. Always rudder to keep the wings level in a stall. I recognize that you have far more experience than I do but these are things that we pilots tend to get out of the habit of as we progress out of light GA aircraft. ...just a friendly reminder and word of advice from one pilot to another. We're all in this together! Great video, though. Thanks for sharing.
Michael Sartori, I am an instructor in the Da20 and 40 and I thought the exact same thing when I saw that! My first thought was “if he continues with that the video will be called ‘mentour stalls and spins a da42’ 😂😂
ALWAYS play with the aileron in a stall... Unless you are in a MD90, that can lead to some really really hairbreaking moments.
Vimeo has a clip of it titled "Alf In The Wake Over VINAX" a bad title for such an extraordinary circumstance though.
@@CMDRSweeper ''ALWAYS play with the aileron in a stall.''...really....interesting!.
@@CMDRSweeper NEVER ''ALWAYS play with the aileron in a stall..'' unless you want to end up dead.
Michael...YOU are on the ball....aileron in a stall.....WILL...kill you.
Thats amazing! I literally just passed my CPL exam there 2 weeks ago with the same instructor you're flying with! Such a great guy and great video! - Ronnie
Yes that guy should fly with you in more videos
I really admire people who are continuously learning and keep being passionate about their field! well done, Mentour Pilot! :D
Fantastic video. Anyone who flies light aircraft knows it’s a lot like this for most of us. Some TH-camrs make it all slick, but the reality is a lot of concentration for the critical bits. We’re not monitoring... we’re flying, and blimey that’s stressful,
Thanks again.... demystifying flying in all it’s levels,
Absolutely fantastic video! I’d love to see more content like this😁
EICK, my home airport for most of my childhood. Always loved to come there in the weekends with my dad and spot for traffic on the left side of runway 34. Brings back many memories. Lovely video Petter, always good to come back to GA and enjoy the views. :)
Its a great pleasure watching you flying around seeing the enjoyment you get both as a pilot and enthusiast. You're a natural. 🛫🛩✈🛩🛬🛩✈
THANK YOU for letting us watch you play!
Lovely views, and chase plane footage too, fantastic. And your very good friend putting you in the well learned left seat.
A different Mentor...and fantastic.
Patrean Brian
Nice to watch a pro taking instruction. It's an element of being a pro. Thanks Peter.
Super cool vid, the only thing I'm missing is just a bit of your commentary on the whole thing.
M Von Smallhausen agreed!
Too busy doing absolutely fantastic
he was so quiet :/
No chatter in the cockpit 👍
This. Was. Wonderful! The scenery! Gorgeous! As soon as I saw it, I knew it was the Emerald Isle! And the flying! And the music! Quite a piece of kit, indeed.
A wonderful video. My training pilot had a mess of a life, but could teach any willing person to to fly. Even me. This instructor is a rock star. That's the cool thing about flying; you are always a student no matter how long you have flown. There are always instructors that know more than you. It's humbling.
Oh how fun for you Petter. Enjoyed watching, Ireland is a beautiful country. Nice to see it from the air. You did a great job! 👍😀
Mary Elizabeth The thumbs up is from me. You are the first one to care enough to write his name correctly! Thank you for this courtesy.
Thanks for taking us along and showing us the glorious grassy fields. Your 'flying face' is different from when you are sitting on your couch. At first I thought you were constipated, such was the grimace on your face, but then I realised this was probably your first time in this model, and were concentrating hard. If you are able to do more of these, I would enjoy coming along for the ride again. Cheers from downunder 🛩
Yay this was a butter landing PETER! Amazing video! Love all your single video.
Professionals showing how it is done. Good filming and editing. Thanks Peter.
DA42 Twin Star is a fantastic airplane, I did my ME training on it. The best plane I have ever flown until now. Pitty they didn't show any one-engine inop procedures. Thank you very much for this video.
I actually really enjoy these types of videos, it's pretty neat
Who doesn't mate! But these are massively more expensive to produce than his usual "sitting on a couch" style.
I had a flying lesson at that airport last week it’s a great spot and lovely countryside. I love living here
Welcome to Cork - delighted you enjoyed flight and scenery. Eamon
Is that where the lighthouse they flew by is?
@@annbutler8302 looks like Mizen Head, Eamon
Thats the old head of kinsale
Great video, brilliant lesson, lovely Ireland (Next time over Kildare please!). Nice to watch proffesionalists. And....Very soft stall recovery :) When mine FI did it for a first time everything was flying in the cockpit 😁
Good on you for continuing with different ratings shows how different each aircraft can be. Well done😊
Excellent video... Just shows that an experienced pilot is never to experienced to still learn.. genuinely looked a bit nervous throughout flight... The concentration looked immense.. well done ..👍
this is exactly the vlogs I wanna always see from you, Petter, great job!
Wow what a surprise vlog
I absolutely love it keep up the good work mentor
Wow! Thanks for the beautiful tour of the coast!! Beautiful scenery, beautiful photography and beautiful plane!
What beautiful scenery!
Thank you for sharing with us!!
Everything else is great, but those video shots from the smaller plane showing his plane in the air are superb. What a beautiful airplane!
I use to stop regularly at Cork airport on the way from Cork city to Kinsale back in the 1970s. It was a great pit-stop to enjoy a pint while watching from the sky deck.
Fantastic...a little nerve racking for me watching. Beautiful scenery. Great job flying!!!
That was fun, oh so beautiful. Really wonderful. Thanks to you and all your family.
So.. Were you prepping yourself for the MAX return?
That was deep! :D
F
Looking at the controls, he wants to learn the Airbus. Is Boeing in trouble? Stay tuned ... lol
Funniest comment I've seen lmao
Not funny on 9/11 day
Beautiful video! Looks like you enjoyed the experience. Thanks for sharing it with us!
That was great and beautiful scenery. Good to see you keeping sharp on the stick and rudder skills!
Thanks Peter, excellent video. Well done for getting some hand flying practice outside of your normal environment. That's inspired me to get some 737 flight simulator training to broaden my small aircraft experience :-)
What a beautiful day to be a pilot and be in the air......not to mention the beautiful views you gave us.
Remember to use that rudder to keep your wings level approaching the stall, not the aileron. That will ensure you stay shiny side up!
That scenery tho!! 😍🤩 Loved this vid - really cool watching you fly 😀
Great to see you hand flying a small airplane.
We used to see you teaching us from the ground.
Beautiful view.
Have fun!
You're flying over my country and over my City! What a lovely surprise!
Looks beautiful! Absolutely fantastic💚☘️
Greetings from Australia 🇦🇺 can’t beat going back & revising ones basic flying skills. Great presentation & lots of fun. 👍🥳
If I were in the back seat I couldn't be more relaxed than with these two flying the plane!
I just saw one of these planes flying at Bracket Airport (KPOC) in La Verne, CA! He was doing touch and goes. Really cool aircraft and awesome video!
Good beautiful flight Captains and nice work on stall procedure in the DA42 tiny propellered plane.
Now that’s true aviation DA42 beautiful aircraft in a beautiful country
Reminds me of my first flights before getting my license. After the landing you are DONE. Hands off all controls the instructor takes over and explains the flight. Even though MENTOUR is an expert, he showed his novice experience and APPRECIATION of an expert of a different aircraft. Well Done Mentour. Finally, smaller planes are harder to fly :-)
I've always heard that to practice stalls and other maneuvers like that, that you should be two mistakes high... that is high enough to recover from two big mistakes without crashing. Of course, the video may not give us a true appreciation of how high you were flying. Having said that, this was a great video! We really enjoyed watching you actually flying. Even better, it was a small plane as well.
Maybe I'm getting different parts of the video confused but I belive they were at 3,000
Well done Mentour Pilot and team:) I always do follow your videos and learn from those:) thanks
Glad you liked it!!
Mentour Pilot always:) I will be hopping in one of those in sometime:) but for now Cessna 172:) thanks for your time:)
Cool video. The fact it was in Cork made it better. Did a few lessons out of AFTA before. Great place to learn. Keep the videos coming.
Sending loves all the way from Nepal 🇳🇵
Most of the Diamond's livery are beautiful colors but it's elegant is all-white as well. Awesome video. Like a sports car in the sky!
Right aileron in a stall, ouuuuu. I would also get shouted by my instructor for jiggling the stick so much on landing.
remsiux I know right! Noticed both of those, and couldn’t help but laugh, that even experienced pilots can’t help but use ailerons in stalls 😂
@@skogis06 It's different on Boeing - as it has sweptback wing, the stall starts at wingtip and progresses inwards. The ailerons are useless at that point, but the spoilers still work. Actually, leveling the wings on Boeing is not raising the lower wing but dropping the other one too. So Boeing pilots are trained to use yoke, not pedals.
The situation in Diamond is different, though. His instructor should have anticipated such reflex, given the student's background, and should have briefed the stall actions more.
@@cheburatorish That's really interesting! I didn't know swept back wings had different stall handling. So that means that Mentour has probably trained his stall recoveries with the use of Ailerons.
Thanks for the info!
T-tail - gotta roll out
Love this guys videos, and thats my hometown. Nice treat
Ah yes, always a great time seeing my beautiful auld Éire. Cobh and County Cork are always a pretty place to fly over.
Awesome nice landscape with professional piloting. Skills of a pilot can never fade . and a good pilot is always learning.
Great Video Mentour! I am currently flying the DA40 for my basic VFR training during my integrated ATPL and will be flying the 42 during my Instrument rating sessions. Great plane and very nice to fly. You only need two fingers to fly it cause it handles so well. Hope you enjoyed it :)
Greetings from Asunción, Paraguay. Its seems like riding a bicicle for you...
In the advanced stall recover training session...One must recover from a flat spin while ME-109’s are all about..
Like my father did aboard a B-17 over Nazi Germany in 1943!
No second chances, instructor or pleasant music playing in the background!
flyonbyya Would have loved to fly a Me 109! A University teacher of mine used to fly a B-17 over Germany, and later took the veterans' grant and finished studying at Columbia University! He was remarkably quiet about some bombing he had had to do! But a Me109, flying alongside such legends as Adolf Galland, Werner Moelders, Hans-Joachim Marseille: what a thrilling adventure!
Amazing scenic flight Captain, DA42 its a blast to fly. Happy landings 👍
DA42 is such a beautiful plane. Used to fly one around in flight simulator X. Amazing little plane and must have been hard to stall with that huge wing it has.
I enjoyed this video. And that landscape is marvellous. 🤩♥️
What a pleasure to have you flying here in Ireland, céad míle fáilte !
what a beautiful video Petter! thank you for sharing
Ancient, secret art of hand flying and VFR :D
You got the same tensed face as I during my glider lessons ;) Keep up the good work, love your channel.
Fantastic video!! Thanks for bringing us along!
That was awesome sir ! like it when a Boeing 737 Pilot gets reacquainted with a small aircraft again.
The sight of 2 pilots wearing 4-striped patches gives me so much fun.
WOW!!! awesome......
But you looked so serious!!!
Must have been concentrating a lot :)
Petter, I’m sure that you truly missed your normal larger cockpit. You didn’t even break a sweat in the planned stall. Watching this video gives passengers a reassurance that pilots can recover from a stall or better yet, “steal” an aircraft when they feel like it. 👌
I love watching you fly. Looks like incredible fun.
All that lovely green and water looks marvelous! (we are in a drought here in south TX) Thanks for taking us along!
thanks Mentour, absolutely fantastic video. keep up the good work. can’t wait to get my hands on the DA42. still have about 100h IFR in Da20 to go though
what a beautiful aircraft and nice flight.
Thanks Captain for the video. It was cool to see you flying this little plane................
Thank you for the ride. Beautiful scenes. Nice machine.
Cork is beautiful! Sending my love from Belfast
Great job, now you just need to try one with one less engine! Thanks for taking us along in this amazing countryside.
I wish I could get my wings in a very short future
Seeing this is such a source of motivation 😍
Thanks for poadcasting this 👌
Awesome. Now we need you in an airbus-sim!!
I think it should be mandatory for all airline pilots to do an hour in small plane, every 5 years or so, to remember the basics of flying. it should cover effects of controls, stalls, and unusual attitudes.
Annually.. Should be part of the flight review. Sully was a glider pilot and that skill probably saved him.
@@glider1232 add glide approaches to my list
@@glider1232 Also: the Gimli Glider.
GG.
They will kill themselves 😂😂 dont pls
While I agree that it’s beneficial to do some GA flying every now and again, airline pilots do everything you mentioned every 6 months during our simulator sessions- we shoot raw data one engine approaches with max crosswind, upset recovery, stall recovery etc. It is a common misconception that airline pilots dont know how to fly manually.
Great video, I take it you flew hands on all the time. You can get a bit too used to the luxury of the automatic systems. Seems like you still have it though and what a great day to go flying. The perfect weather.
I like riding commercial; but I LOVE flying prop. I don't get to my destination as quickly, but I don't care. It truly is all about the journey. There is no better seat/view than left seat in a small prop plane. You actually see the world, not just the topside of clouds.
This the sort of flying I imagined when I was young, flying low over the coast and just enjoying the freedom.
Love your videos from California. Safe flights my friend
@7:03 Finally, a smile! :-) "phweee............ passed my stall test". ;-)
Beautiful countryside there!
The second it came on and I heard the Irish accents I was like yay Dublin or Shannon! I was wrong on both counts but cork is lovely !
Absolutely Fantastic Video.
I learned that no matter your license rating or how big the airplane you fly, every time you transition to a unfamiliar machine you have to be humble and you have to listen thoroughly what your instructor says about THAT specific airplane. It’s true if you transition from the Piper Cub to the 747 or from a 777 down to the C-150.
what a great aircraft, I would love to see more of these in the states.
Absolutely fantastic! :)
Great feeling watching this. Thanks!
