I'm convinced Sharon is a professional pilot, with thousands of hours of experience. She just does these videos to phuck with us and the instructors.

Here’s how to add to your views and subscriptions…make sure that Sharon is a large part of every future video…guaranteed!

This is the economical kind of plane I've always wanted, now if I can just scrape up the 1.1 million purchase price.....

John is one of the best instructors of all times! Lots of respect!

Great job Sharon! Thanks for taking us along. Would love to take one up someday. Looks like a dream to fly.

It sounds like an infomercial... But frankly, every time I hear people talking about Diamond aircraft, it sounds like an infomercial, because there's not much to say that isn't awesome. I'm not a pilot, just a gear nut and curious about all things machina. Enjoying the heck out of a huge number of videos on the subject. Diamond is just a fantastic airplane company.

Way to go Sharon! You will make for a great instrument pilot. Got to love that beautiful DA62!

That was a well done report of the DA62! All the others more like marketing advertising and pushing forward emotional. Now you said the right points on this awesome airplane, what the great advantage is to understand. Thanks for pointing it out on the point. Even Diamond could not bring it to this point in their videos. This plane has some remarkable technical advantages to old school planes. Just a little bit more fuel capacity would give her the record. Top of the notch. Love it. Good job in this video. I enjoyed any minute. 👍😎🙏

Fun to go along with Sharon as she flies the DA 62, one gorgeous airplane. Hoping to revive my flying adventures after a few decades. The hoops I'll have to jump through just for a 3rd Class medical will be the deciding factor. Assuming a 3rd Class Medical is in my future, once I'm back up to speed, I'll spend some time (and money) and get checked out on the DA 40. I'm really liking what Diamond has done for GA.

LOVELY aircraft. Excellent video. Thank you LifeStyle Aviation for keeping the videos coming. I lovethe range and ease of use on this plane. Leaning more towards purchasing it now rather than the Pipistrel Panthera.

Great to see you with the life style Aviation team

Great seeing you Sharon it is the first time I see you flying an airplane and a beauty at that.

Very well made video. Love the Q&A. Sharon you are lovely and a great marketer

Beautiful pilot, beautiful plane!

Loved seeing the aircraft at Oshkosh!!! Great video!

You guys sold me on it! lol It's not often you get the feel of a plane from a video but that feel was conveyed here nicely. That was one smooth landing.

Nice video Sharon & John - The best Twin in the world !!

Great vid thanks Sharon and John; beautiful aircraft.

This is a beautiful plane... very very impressed. I can't believe how little this thing burns with dual engine. And that range.. wow.

Awesome Sharon

Love the video .keep em coming please

Very informative. Thank you for posting.

Great video! What a great plane!

They say a Diamond is girls best friend!! Beautiful plane.

One way to get more views, more of Sharon please!

With due respect, What a gorgeous pilot girl !! Cheers from Brazil and by the way , congrats for this video.I love to fly!!

Love the video team! One day I will love to fly this plane, amazing ...

Got my multi in that plane. It felt sooo cool, I really enjoyed it

The landing was amazing!!!!

Dream Airplane for me too, which is why I'm searching for new DA62 videos. 🙂 We'll see. I'll probably get a DA42 though I don't really need the extra space.

Another video about the DA62! I had the opportunity to fly one out of MGJ and it is such an amazing airplane. Better than the cirrus in my opinion.

Beautiful....Design...Looks Fun!!

Great to see you john

Incredible AIRPLANE! Thanks for sharing. I'd love to sit in the back seat any day 😍.

Great video all.

When I grow up (retire) I'm gonna buy one!!!

I started flying on airplanes with full steam gauges and I'm hoping one day I have the opportunity to fly on an airplane like that. What a beautiful airplane! Daydreaming.. 👁👄👁

Love aviation and flying - if you guys will be at Oshkosh next week - have a great time

I love Diamonds and yes owned one. 62 is nice but bring $ like over 1.+ mil. Thanks for vid.

Gorgeous! Plane's pretty sweet too

Wow… pretty pilot 😍 We need more

Gorgeous and the plane isn't bad either.

Beautiful plane designed with great intuitive upgrades. Nice job Sharon,,, but just wondering if you missed not having a yoke or you prefer the stick ?

I really had thoughts about the Sr22t but I really like this Da62.

Good job know I need to buy one

OMG he did sell me the airplaine... I have to have it!!! LOL.... I love the airplane anyway... Great job and thank you. Great video. Sharon I wish I could do what you do... good job.

Diamond is a BOYS and GIRLS best friend .. 💎💎💎💎💎

Very nice...!

So beautiful and talented 🌸

Gorgeous ❤️ oh and the plane too. Great instructor

When did the 80's become a long time ago?????????? Damn. Great discussion on the engines but address the life limit on the parts for the engine. Mechanics always say Diamonds are easy to work on pull the part throw it away and wait for the new one to show up. The price point is a bit painful but the cost per hour when factoring in replacement parts is the choke point.

Did anyone else notice? During most of the in-flight chat Sharon sat calmly with her hands in her lap! The plane is so computerized it flies itself!

Excellent "newbie" flight with a good trainer!

nice landing!!!!

I think Diamond created the best GA twin well ....ever created ... They could have simply went with the latest Lycomings and would have still had arguably the best twin out there but Diamond did the unthinkable ... developed their own engine which no one in their right mind in general aviation ever attempts ( history is strewn with attempts ) ... It is a profoundly difficult road and a testament to the fortitude of the Diamond owners and engineers ... and it is of course diesel which makes it thermodynamically quite a bit more efficient than avgas

Nice video! Could you provide how you recorded the intercom and ATC? Many thanks.

I would fly with Sharon anywhere. Thanks.

Almost just sold me on Diamond. Now need to go do a Demo Flight

My dream plane, and one day my dream will come true!

Is stage cooling necessary or recommended on these engines? If you pulled the power back like that on a turbo charged Avgas engine, it would be detrimental to the TBO times. One of the big reasons why used airplanes on the market have rebuilds way before TBO is because they didn't stage cool the turbo charged engines (especially coming out of altitude).

I fly this DA62 in MSFS2020😎

If it were pressurized, had the option of yoke or stick, AND the seats in the front would move...and had the option of small privvy in place of the last two seats...it would be the perfect cross country airplane.

Well you have sold me on it. I'd like 2 please. Currently I'm still working on that fear of heights thing tho! 😂😂

Fly, Nav, call. Should have finished the power setting before calling on the radio. Good video

Most beautiful pilot I’ve ever seen!

Time A summary : 0:47 Yep 1:39 Yeah 1:46 Yep 1:47 Yep 2:43 Yeah 4:09 Yep 4:52 Yeah 5:00 Yep 5:01 " The computer is a better Pilot than I am "

That plane is gorgeous.

Dream plane…a real diamond

Harry Potter back there just itchin for a broom

Pay careful attention when flying to Smyrna, TN. People tend to fly into KMQY and forget to return from whence they came. Don't even think about staying past 10 days--get home. We can't take any more of you SoCal, NorCal, Chicagolanders, New Yorkers, and even Floridians moving here. Texans are okay if they were born in the Lone Star State and not from Austin. Middle Tennessee is now full--go home! Seriously, this gentleman is the perfect guy to be an instructor. He reminds me of my instructor 40 years ago, who happened to have been a C-123 and C-130 pilot with the 314TCW from Smyrna AFB.

I it's philip nice to see you. Philip is interested. Hope to meet you on the 6th August at church Fenton. To have a look at the diamond airoplanes. See you there phil.

Nice work Sharon. I’ve never seen so many people watching someone so intensely while she was writing that clearance down! Especially the guy in the back !! 😂

Nice airplane.

Was that you at KFCI this past weekend for the REA grand opening? Arrived in a DA40 with no wheelpants?

If she loses power, she's just got to bat those eyelashes and she'll have instant lift 😂

Has diamonds solved the issue of not shutting down an engine for more than 2 minutes for multi-engine training?

Good video but the only thing I would do is add more external flying shots like other aviators do on their videos

Nice plane if you have an extra million or so. Although that’s a pretty tough market segment.

Stay ahead

Totally over-priced I’m afraid at 1.6M?! Ughhh

My question: are all of these new engines TBR instead of TBO?

Next thing is to program the plane to automatically do what the tower says (the plane would understand what the tower wants).

This plane is growing on me

I drive a vehicle with a Turbo-compression engine. You can say "diesel" and I will not be offended. Thanks to Diamond for making the jump!

Lead is used as a lubricant. I learned something.

Sharon, you can sell me a 62 when I’m ready to upgrade, - apologies to Sam.

Lead is not a lubricant.

Does Sharon have a KZfaq channel?

It's great that Diamond pushes some progress (it's not a high bar in aviation) and in many ways it is a cool plane, 4 seats like a car (a bus like private jets just waste fuel) 2 engines for redundancy safety, kinda cool it runs on jet fuel, it's a capable bird with decent range HOWEVER rather than settle for heavy complex diesel engines that are still massive noise and vibration makers blocking the airflow and weighing the plane down, look at it and take the next logical step. DA62 is 1600kg empty, that's not light for 4 seats. Sling TSI is half that weight and uses half the fuel. Lancair IV-P is also half the weight but it's closer to twice as fast as the DA62 yet still better fuel economy. A margin that should not be possible. And the DA62 is 1.2million dollars. So it's a capable plane but there is still enormous potential for improvement. What Diamond could do is place a similar cabin in a minimal weight carbon fiber teardrop body that by its compound curves is naturally rigid and pressure compatible as a pure shell without bulkheads. And then put two tiny turbofan jet engines on it at the back. For a total empty weight of maybe 400kg. Because a small light plane needs only tiny jet engines to go fast. And you have the smooth quiet stable operation of jets, the extreme coolness, maybe double the speed of a DA62 yet better fuel economy. And because it is light and simple, it can be done much cheaper than 1.2 million. Ironically such jet engines at maybe 15kg each are much easier to manufacture than those diesel engines. And don't let intuition betray you. The range record of 40000km without refueling belongs to a simple turbofan jet engine, the williams FJ44. So if jets can give us as good or better fuel economy while going twice the speed in heavenly smoothness, what are we talking about... Imagine how exciting a product the Diamond DA62 would be if it was quarter the weight, twin jet going twice as fast and costing half. There is such extreme potential. It's ripe for the taking. A Bonanza is not that far from being a 100 year old design. In a tech world, how is that possible.

Yes, all that technology is great to a point, but as an older pilot (75), I think this technology takes away the hands on feel of what a good pilot should feel about their airplane. Beautiful airplane and even more beautiful young lady. In your pre-take off discussion, I'm sure you discussed things like T/O abort, engine failure, etc., right?

You should label this as just plain marketing......not much else there.

I "heard" MSRP is $275,000 as shown here... oui/non?

isnt lead to prevent detonation, not lube; ive never heard the lube reasoning

Is that Armstrong ?

Sharon 'Raub' me of my heart. I'm in love with her.

1.2 million economical?

That's one hot looking "fuselage", and the plane is cool too.

I always thought the transition from Bonanza to Barron wasn't too big a step. Is this 40 to the 42 or 62 more similar?

She makes me want to be a bush pilot:)

A rich pilot
