Being a pilot is cool – the Internet era is cool, so being a pilot in the Internet era is somehow cool squared. To get prepared for my DA42 training, I searched YouTube for videos showing one engine-out procedures and other stuff that can help. I selected the best ones for you – get comfortable and have a look and learn… If you don’t feel like, just have a look to the last one, you can’t miss it.

Stopping a Thielert engine by fuel starvation can damage it, so flight instructors can’t play with hidden fuel selectors (like on the Baron…). The only way is to retard the throttles and the the student pilot must switch the engine master off, otherwise the engine will remain at idle power. Restart ? Simply turn the engine master on again.

Steep turns with one engine out ? Here you are.

The next one is not exactly training oriented, but I could not resist: two DA42 taking off and flying formation low-pass.

More engine failure and steep-turns

If you think that simulators are bad, have a look at that. The dashboard includes a real G1000.

Even more engine failure and steep-turns

A superb mixture of IFR in IMC, flying the Alps and night flying.

Landing at night at Paris Charles-de-Gaulle – Only possible at red-eyes times…

And if this is not enough, a 4 minutes flight from Paris Charles-de-Gaulle to Paris Le Bourget – Magic !

Thanks a lot to all the YouTube users who did put these videos online – I hope that mine will follow soon. I also searched for video of twins flying at speeds below Vmca but could not find any. Does someone have a link ?
