Sure 13:55 is going to be the most replayed 😘

The Da62 is my dream aircraft, such an elegant and well engineered plane. Unfortunately don't have couple million laying around to afford one. You truly have my dream job Micke

Sunrises above the clouds are one of the most magnificent things one can see in my opinion - Awesome video btw! 🤌🏻

GOLD! The Horizon is beautiful

Awesome! Thank you for your great videos and hard work! 🛩✌🏻✨🙂

Good job, Micke. Please keep up the good work!

Very cool!

So right about English for the comms. Safe travels. Great Videos.

I appreciate and congratulate you for the films you make. When I come home from at work I relax looking at this.

What a great "office view"!! LOL The DA62 is one of my very favorite airplanes!! I'm loving those engines also! The FADEC with prop control is so nice to have, so much less to worry about while making other decisions!! Some day... 8) --gary

Another cool video Micke - well done!

Gorgeous plane. Nice music too good for flying

Thank You Micke! I enjoy your videos! Nice place to work! From Agentina 👍, great and thanks for sharing !

Enjoyed the video.

So awesome

I often fly across Canada in my RV10. As soon as you get to Central Ontario from the west, the French starts. The controllers will talk to you in English, then talk to the French pilots in French then relay back to you in English. The controllers are amazing that can do this but it sure makes it tough for situational awareness.

Impressive Videos, great!

You just got a new subscriber. Loved this video.

Having trained on the Katana, the DA62 is a dream for me. Keep the cool content coming. And maybe we see you in Switzerland one of these days.

It´s an incredible plane. I love simulating it in mfs2020. Beautiful views! greetings from Tenerife

Great videos!

Cool video Micke!! And a cold one 😂

It's amazing. DA62 is my favorite aircraft!

The Garmin all-glass cockpit seems to make things much simpler. Especially pre-/post-flight checks.😊❤

Great Job Micke..Greetings from magog/Québec. Tomorrow i go back to Germany for the skydive season.

Thank you for the nice video. I have a question though, when doing an Vne approach, looks absolutely fun btw, would that not have a shock cooling effect on the engines? I know old radials are known for that but i don't know about modern engines or how that DA62 is cooled.

Planning on retiring at 45, buying a plane and traveling the world, seems like so much fun

wow what beautiful flat infinite lands

Micke, excellent trip with stunning views! I share your opinion on the language of ATC 😊

Great!

Hy Micke, ... maybe a stupid question about "cockpit life". You sit in the cockpit with a jacket during the flight. How well can you heat the cabin? Or is it not because of the cold at all, but for other practical reasons why you keep the jacket on. I compare it to a long car ride - I wouldn't like to drive in a jacket. And thanks so much for the nice pics ...🙂

Love your videos. Love the DA62. What is a VNE approach? I fly it the DA62 all the time in MSFS 2020 (unfortunately, I don’t think I’ll ever get to fly a real one, although I have flown a DA42) 😁 Also, glad I’m not the only one confused by non-English ATC Comms!

Thanks for the great video. Yes, the Quebecers are aloud to speak French, it is a rather sensitive subject. I worked for a Quebec airline for 22 years, never really understood French well. BTW I am retired now and have applied to Diamond ( London factory) to ferry Diamond Aircraft. So I hope to meet you soon. ( that is why I watch your videos) I am talking to Eddy Hollestelle in YXU. Thank you Hans Juergensen

I earned my Pilots License while living in Puerto Rico back in the mid 90s. With the exception of San Juan it was the wild west of Aviation. Everyone spoke spanish so you never who was doing what unless you specifically asked.

Thumbs up 👍 it’s only cold if the cab heater isn’t working.

just a random question how did you pick up the 3500ft altitude when you started your decent ? was it a random choice or for safety reason cuz of low temp? cuz on the charts min alt for IKMEL is 1900 so just wondering :)

Rooooger!

The official language of Quebec is French (Quebecois). Canadian Law mandates that NAV Canada must provide services in both english and french in the entire Montreal FIR. I agree on your points of the safety aspect of it, however, I will say, I have seen videos of controllers and pilots in areas of Europe speaking in their native language.

Isnt the da62 pressurized? Or is that on the newer models?

I remember -32° C in Östergötland (region in south/mid Sweden) as a kid in late 70's or early 80's ;-)

Hi Micke very nice video well when you fly over Canada normally the language is english but Canada ave 10 province, in the province of Québec ,QC / New brunswick, NB,this two province the first language is french when you fly above province of Québec you can have your information in french. It's like you fly over Mexico you can speak Spanish, The same if you go to France and be careful when you go in a place where is snow and very cold,there is always always ICE on the concrete be careful ................

How many hours of flight time did you take on this trip?

Damn, Lang has the toughest job in the world: all weather, all terrains and all time zones. I want his job also🤣

I flew this route many times in a twin otter.

Any concerns about fuel viscosity or freezing in the DA-62’s tanks at those temperatures, esp. while it’s sitting on the ground? I’m assuming in flight, there’s a heat exchange system, like on the DA-50.

Hey Micke, how many hours of flight time do you log per year on average?

I totally agree that everybody should speak the same language because otherwise you lose situational awareness.

I wonder if one has to purchase snow tires for an airplane?

Bro is shocked at -31... I've pissed outside at -49. That's when things get fun ;)

A nice one and VNE is a pretty fast one haha 180kts indicated on final xD

Roger Roger!

Im in love with the DA62 Now i need get the 2 million to have it ☺

👍

Great video! What was the name of that type of approach?

Cold enough to make you depressed 😊unless you like it.

i wonder why he asked what runway you wanted? winds 350@14 and the only runway is 16/34 ? are there obstacles on the 34 departure?

What did you do as approach? Is it called VNE approach?

If you google there's a website that gives you northern light predictions. When and where.

Sooooo how do you get this job?

The Atlantic ferry flights are no longer a challenge as it used to be. If you island hop, as you are doing, many airplanes can do it with just standard fuel tanks. It is the Pacific that is still a challenge. Pilots used to deliver small planes , like 172 and Mooney M20s to Australia. That was when Av gas is still available. Some of their legs were 14 hours+ long. and they had no GPS. The GPS was the big difference that made even a worse than average pilot like me able to tackle the Pacific. If Amelia Earhart had it, she would not need her navigator and she would know exactly where Howland Island is to within 10 ft.without guessing. The island hopping route can be challenging in the winter if you do not have known ice protection.

Turn a knob do a left turn... The modern art of flying! 😉

Aaaaaand also shouts out to Diamond in formerly beautiful Wr. Neustadt!

Welcome to my Neck of the woods !

-31° C = -23.8° F. I had hoped to see the de-icing system in action.

11:23 FAAAACTS

I fly in Quebec often - French isn't a problem at all. If you contact ATC in French, they will continue with you in French. If you contact ATC in English they will continue with you in English. Any and all conflicts will be relayed to you in the language that you are most comfortable in. I've never encountered any safety issues from this, even at small 'country' airports. Yes English is the 'universal' language of aviation, the common denominator language - but there is no regulation that English has to be spoken in order to be a pilot.

Hey Micke. I heard another pilot explain the language misunderstanding. He said if the controller knows the pilot is native "French", they will speak French to them, and English to anyone else. This is because pilots from another country may not be as good at English as their native language and having a total understanding of the air traffic, directions, etc. is more important.

I agree with the RT language. It should be English all over.

i was under the impression that all ATC was to be spoken in English, is that not an international requirement? sorry if i sound naive

Its because they think they are special. Been flying there for 30 years and it never changes

I am sure, you get the same problem in Europe with the languages, in France, they speak french, in Italy, they speak Italian and so forth. Quebec is the french speaking province in Canada.

I am french with PPL and I still don't get why we are allowed to speak french on freq. Yet considering the english level of french people it may be safer to speak french ^^.

Hello Micke! Would you be willing to have my friend fly along with you? He’s about to get his commercial pilot license this summer! He needs to continue to build hours! He would be willing to help with costs!? 🙏☺️

Perfectly understandable concern over the French being spoken on the airwaves and totally unnecessary in a primarily English speaking country. Maintaining a mental picture of what’s happening in the airspace around you is so very important. Compromising a pilot’s situational awareness by effectively keeping them out of the loop can’t possibly be a safe practice. It should absolutely not be allowed.

good video good aircraft good back ground slow romantic dance music with your significiant romantic other haider haider a khan solo pianist huntsville alabama usa april 2023

What is more dangerous are the chinese students in St-Hubert/Montreal speaking broken (nuked) english. I agree that your comment isn't completly wrong though.

A lot of places around the world will use both local language and English. I agree it’s not the best for situational awareness but it’s not unique to Quebec.

lol getting fuel at -31 must feel like it takes ages

Am I the only one that is bothered by the fact that the controllers nearly all abbreviated UDB but he keeps reading back with ODB or do I have some kind of misunderstanding here? 😅

Minus 31°C! Da tut selbst das Atmen weh!

I fly in Canada and I understand the safety concern when others speak French. Pretty frustrating.

That airplane had no landing lights at take off

-31. Gives ya a headache so fast it's shocking.

Let's try that the other way. If one person speaks French, everyone should speak French. Now you see that not everyone speaks fluent English. Thank you for the video.

What ever happened to jaunty17.

What the bear doing?

Agree with you on English. It's a shame that this limitation exists at many fields in Germany and France for example first of all and then also where there are both languages allowed non native pilots lose situational awareness like you pointed out.

11:23 i am a student pilot in turkey and there they rarely speak English on the comms even there bare pilots with more than 30 to 40 fourth years of experience and the don’t speak a word of English

-23°F is pure torture

French speaking countries and Russia is only ones using their own language for aviation. Russia is so strange and isolated so that you understand, but why french...

They are speaking french becase the feel entitled to ignore the rules like Qubec does

Well actually... Jk

They speak French because they can and want.

Can do without the poor polar bear skin on the wall…😞

Pilots with their strobe light ON while taxiing. 🙄

Not good when you hear runway code 666

Ah the great language debate, unfortunately everywhere that French is spoken you will hear it used inappropriately in an aviation context. And yes it has caused accidents.

I am sorry but we do have the right to be served in French in Quebec! That isn’t our problem if you don’t speak French. The two official languages are French and English. Most professional pilots in Quebec does speak English. So you are safe. If the YGL RDO had any traffic for you, they would’ve told you.

nice,,,,, enjoying that global warming i see lol

I’am quite surprised to hear comments about French communication in 2023. I was in atc for 35 years. We had that fight in 1976, mostly from Air Canada pilots. It was well proven that it is not an issue. When you fly in Mexico, you can hear Spanish and English, in France, French and English and so on. Canada is one of the most safest country to fly. Please Mike, you should not bring those comment anymore.
