@Dash 8: Congratulations, that is impressive.

I have a PPL (VFR), flying DA40 with G1000.

Thanks and congratulations on the Private Certificate. I got my private in 1992 flying a Cessna 152. I wouldn't even know how to use the G1000, the Dash 8 has all 'steam gauges' still, but what can I expect from 1980's technology.

Thanks, the G1000 is really nice and the DA40 is a lovely airplane. Did my training in PA28 with Steam gauges. But one flight in the DA40 and I was hooked.

I have my PPL single engine land, and PPL and Instrument Rotorcraft Helicopter; I’m also working on my Commercial Rotorcraft rating.

I completed my instrument rating in a Piper Warrior PA28-161. It was my favorite of all the single engine planes I've flown. That DA40 looks fun too. I have flown one in Flight Simulator, but that is a close as I've come to it. I see them all the time in Baltimore doing flight training, nice airplane! I haven't flown a light single engine since 1996. I've flown King Airs, Twin Commanders, a Navajo Chieftian, and lately of course the Dash 8 100 and 300 models. I'd probable over control a small aircraft after being used to the large twins. That's why in IL2 online I almost always exclusivly fly bombers; I'm used to the way they handle.
