    Ever wonder what it takes to fly a small single engine airplane across the United States? Our contract pilot Andres Santamaria and Marketing Director Patrick Meehan fly a total of three legs navigating all kinds of weather, taking you along for the entire ride.
    Whether you are a new aviator looking for the perfect first airplane or an experienced IFR pilot with discerning tastes, the DA40, available either with a jet fuel or an AVGAS engine, is the smart choice. The durable composite airframe, ultra-low fuel burn and superb handling make the DA40 a great airplane for travel, leaseback, and training alike.

    Great video. Really like the pictures of the PFD. How about some proformance numbers while flying. Speed and gph, altitude ect.

    Got my instrument rating on a DA40 back in 2008. The bird cost just about $200k back then. Way cool to see how it does in the NG version, even though it’s sadly way out of my budget

      The older DA40s are great planes! Technology has definitely come a long way.

    These videos are great. Please consider me interested and available should you be looking for contact pilots or contract CFI's. 🙃

    Why did you choose port Huron for your entry point in the states ? Is the customs process easier there ?

      It was on our way out West. Sometimes we'll choose Buffalo if we are delivering to East USA.

    My rule was to never fly more than two hours + my safe bladder capacity per leg. In the 152 I trained in, that was barely out of town, but still...

      Always great to have personal minimums. Thanks for sharing!
