DA62 Around the World
Posted: Thu Aug 12, 2021 12:00 pm
Hello all,
I've been flying Diamond Aircraft's mostly 42's for the past 2 to 3 years now, however, after $10,000s in renting fees and stuff like that, I'm very keen on outright purchasing a 62. Flying around the world is something I've always wanted to do, and I'm curious to know if any of you guys have done it before or think it may not be doable in a DA62. Taking into account, the aircraft would be at MTOW for the whole mission as a couple of other aviation pals are looking to do it with me and I'm guessing along with other equipment and luggage we will be right on the limit. I understand the range of these can go up to ~ 1250miles (2000km) or so. I would love to hear your thoughts and opinions about this ambitious adventure as if it's too surreal I'll most likely look to other aircraft.
Cheers.
