DA-62 as IFR Trainer

Has anyone had a fly in one. How would it go as an IFR trainer. I guess only would make sense as an academy aircraft with high utilization. Are they robust enough to endure the demands of a flight academy.

Or you could go do it in something useful and actually worthwhile.

Why people nominate to do CIR's in a DA40/DA42/DA62 Is beyond me.

Why would you use a 6 to 7 seat aircraft? A waste of capital. I don't understand Munz's comment.

Nothing wrong with doing it in a 6 or 7 (or more) seater, but make it something useful like a Baron or Chieftain.

Yeah right.. Because flight training isn't expensive enough.

The merits of the aircraft alone do not outweigh the fact that employers, are more likely to favour a candidate with time on type of an aircraft commonly used in Australia. Also I can't see why you would use a 62 over a 42 if you were to wander down that path?

Training in a DA-62 would be like having an ugly girlfriend!

It'd be more like having a girlfriend with a smoking hot bod but her eyes are too far apart, or one eye is looking off into the distance. Or the gap in her teeth is a little too wide, or nice thighs but the ankles are a little too thick, right?
