Hey guys, I had the opportunity today to fly a DA-42. It was a good chance to see where I was at rusty skill wise after over 10 years of not being current. It was a very enjoyable flight, other than getting used to the muscle memory and stiff control forces, I felt pretty comfortable. I did my studying before hand with lot of practice Commercial pilot written exams lol. The instructor said I did quite well considering the long time not current. First time using a G1000 too. A little sensory overload at first, but nothing overwhelming. I know accusim has really helped keep my flying instincts from getting too dull, so I really want to thank you guys at A2A for helping me keep my brain in the flying game for all these years.
Cheers
TJ

Re: Back in the saddle.
Hey TJ, sounds awesome and glad you have gotten good use out of the sims, with so many pilots using our home sims its a great compliment to the proferssional/flight training side of the business. And great for us to see flight training/currency help at home, as we love the idea that the big sims are all business but that a student/pilot can load up the home PC and get that little extra in at home.
Are you now going down the route of some regular flying again?
thanks,
Lewis

Re: Back in the saddle.
Thanks guys,
Lewis, I am hoping to fly again in a month or two, we'll see how the flying funds shape up lol. With luck I can make it a regular event.
I really believe you guys will hit a big seller when you come out with the twin trainer. Twin time is so expensive to get, that having an accusim Seminole, DA, or whatever would really be a godsend for students and those looking to get current again.

The DA42 I flew was a 2007 with a NAVIII. They also had some newer DA42-VIs which I hope to fly next. If they are brand new...ie 2018 they should have NXI, otherwise they would be pre NXI units.awash2002 wrote:TJ what kind of G1000 did the DA-42 have is it the G1000 NXI?

The new 2018 DA42-VIs can be identified usually with the new non white paint schemes, similar to the larger DA62s.
