Re: Atlantic Flight Training in Coventry
I did the IR on a DA42.
All you need to worry about at your stage is passing the IR and believe me the DA42 will help you do this.
If you have week legs forget it as it is a bitch to fly on one engine as the rudder input required is substantial! Having said that the pro's outweigh the cons:
Pros
-Self identifying nav aids
-Self setting transponder alt
-massive warnings that tell you things like pitot off
-digital baro setting meaning you can't really set it wrong
-one lever instead of three
cons
-difficulty flying on one engine
-middle stick (which i just didn't like)
-fiddly rudder pedals
Good luck anyway.
