I flew on two consecutive evenings: during the first longer flight we went over all in-flight manoeuvres and a few emergencies just like we did on my last progress test before my PPL skill test, with some touch and goes sandwiched in between at the grass field of Cerfontaine, while the second flight was a rather short touch and go session at Charleroi (with one simulated emergency, a flapless landing, and a tower-requested go-around too). I show these flights to you in a pair of videos, edited such to present most in-flight manoeuvres and the ground flows and checks preceding the actual flying in this first video, and the touch and go exercises and the after flight flows in the upcoming second video. https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/o42YGkD1WEU Before start flow https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/o42YGkD1WEU Before start checklist https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/o42YGkD1WEU Engine start https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/o42YGkD1WEU After start checklist https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/o42YGkD1WEU ECU test https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/o42YGkD1WEU Before taxi checklist (including briefing) https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/o42YGkD1WEU Contacting EBCI GND for taxi instructions https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/o42YGkD1WEU What to do if the brakes are faulty https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/o42YGkD1WEU Taxiing (without nose wheel steering) https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/o42YGkD1WEU Callsign confusion (in my head) https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/o42YGkD1WEU Before take-off checklist https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/o42YGkD1WEU Contacting EBCI TWR then lining up and waiting RWY 06 https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/o42YGkD1WEU Take-off EBCI RWY 06 (1st ever take-off in the DA40) https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/o42YGkD1WEU After take-off flow https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/o42YGkD1WEU Starting the cruise phase and discussion on fuel tank management https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/o42YGkD1WEU Short discussion on the plane's handling (initial impressions) https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/o42YGkD1WEU HASELL check https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/o42YGkD1WEU Clean stall https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/o42YGkD1WEU Stall in approach configuration https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/o42YGkD1WEU Spiral dive recovery https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/o42YGkD1WEU Steep turns left and right https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/o42YGkD1WEU Simulated engine failure in flight (memory items) https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/o42YGkD1WEU Glide towards a simulated forced landing (part of the engine failure exercise) https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/o42YGkD1WEU Go-around (from the simulated forced landing) https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/o42YGkD1WEU Simulated smoke in the cabin emergency (memory items and checklist) https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/o42YGkD1WEU Recovery from unusual attitudes https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/o42YGkD1WEU Stall in landing configuration https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/o42YGkD1WEU Stall in take-off configuration https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/o42YGkD1WEU Leaving Brussels Info for Cerfontaine Radio (requesting aerodrome information) https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/o42YGkD1WEU Arrival briefing and joining the pattern at EBCF https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/o42YGkD1WEU Right hand downwind EBCF RWY 12R https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/o42YGkD1WEU Fuel management https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/o42YGkD1WEU Final RWY 12R (for detailed pattern flying and touch and goes see the next video)
