Diamond DA40

OnCore Aviation is based at the Greater Rochester International Airport (KROC) in the modern JetSmart FBO facilities. The company has partnered with LifeStyle Aviation as a “Network Partner” and  as a “Dream Center” featuring a modern Diamond DA40 XLS aircraft for flight training. This G1000 based modern aircraft features Synthetic Vision, Digital Autopilot and digital WAAS based approach system so pilots have the ideal modern IFR training platform and travel machine with its 140+Knot cruising speeds.

“The Rochester market has been underserved for years with no modern aircraft rental or training options so we decided it was time to bring quality training and modern aircraft together to benefit the local community.” said Todd Cameron. “We expect it to bring a completely new perspective for people that are seeking personal mobility and travel convenience as well as those seeking careers in aviation. Our partnership with the LifeStyle Aviation Network is instrumental in helping us offer the greatest potential for choice, value and options from the beginning.”

“We are delighted to partner with OnCore and help bring modern aircraft access and training to Rochester.” stated John Armstrong, Founder and CEO of LifeStyle Aviation. “We are confident that the combination of professional training and modern safe aircraft in Rochester along with the LifeStyle Aviation Network’s broad offering of modern aircraft for acquisition, share programs, leaseback and rental will help more people achieve an Aviation LifeStyle than ever before.”

Using modern personal aircraft, people in Rochester can now completely avoid the airlines and access the entire mid-atlantic region and north east in 1-2 hours flying in one of our modern magic carpet aircraft.” added Armstrong, “We are particularly excited about the potential of our new Diamond DA62 seven place modern “SUV-sized” aircraft that is now available that carries up to seven in comfort and cruises at over 220 MPH burning less fuel than a Chevy Tahoe. This level of capability is totally life changing. Through our partners like OnCore we create mobility solutions for people using this modern transportation technology and help create the ideal economic result with our DiamondShare model.”

Shawn Griffin and Anthony Daniele. Two local businessmen saw the need for modern aircraft in Rochester and stepped up to help make this launch possible. Shawn Griffin, a local attorney, and Anthony Daniele, a local businessman and airport commissioner both felt the time was right
for Rochester to have a modern aircraft access and flight training. They committed to acquire for leaseback the first aircraft for OnCore’s use. As OnCore grows other parties will have the opportunity to gain access to the exclusive and economically advantageous “leaseback” program offered for the acquisition of these modern aircraft through LifeStyle.

The LifeStyle Aviation Network now includes over 20 flight center networK partners they refer to as  “Dream Centers” because they are not limited to just providing flight lessons but work with each client to help them craft a pathway to achieve their personal travel and freedom goals. The scope of options through the Network includes a broad range of solutions including early stage aircraft acquisition with “executive training approaches” that allow businessmen to acquire aircraft they use immediately as they are learning to pilot them. When they are ready they transition to traveling without the help of a CFI onboard. This approach can be tremendously productive for a business that is already spending lots of time and money on travel and can provide life changing convenience and added potential for the business owner but also can extend to transporting staff with the use of contract pilots. This approach can radically alter the way businesses thing about expansion and the regions they serve.

Other clients might choose to buoncore lobbyy aircraft to learn in and lease them to OnCore in an arrangement called a Leaseback. This approach provides the ability to enjoy a great aircraft and the income from the lease to help pay for its ownership and also potentially enjoy significant tax advantages. Other pilots that have fallen out of flying because they could not justify the costs might consider accessing the DiamondShare program to enjoy personal freedom and travel on a fixed lease budget in modern single or twin engine aircraft. Others might want to have convenient travel options and don’t want to learn to fly but can take advantage of programs to gain access to flight mobility, have lease options help fund their use. LifeStyle has created many possible ways to help people and in concert with their local partner can delivery on the “Dream Center” concept for a wide array of needs.

“With this level of choice now available in Rochester we want everyone to know that if they are driving excessively or feel the airlines are their only option or if they are paying for expensive charter flights that its time to explore all the potential modern private aviation has to offer.” added Todd Cameron. “We invite them to contact us to learn more.” Visit OnCore at 1205 Scottsville Rd
Rochester, NY 14624 at the Rochester Airport or go to www.oncoreaviation.com.

Parachute Mode for Fun and Safety 

with the Diamond DA40 Aircraft

At LifeStyle Aviation we are in the business of helping people pursue and attain a life enriching “Aviation LifeStyle”. We help many people get started in aviation. 

Our top three most important considerations for all and every new client we help are:

Safety, Safety and  Safety…

Every client’s needs and situation are different and we take our role seriously to recommend the “ideal aircraft” for them for their experience and planned use.  The Diamond DA40 tends to be the most recommended (when it is the “best fit”) for pilots as their “first airplane”. This is for many reasons including speed, economy, visibility, ergonomics, low insurance, fun factor and easy of ownership but one reason that is statistically indisputable at this time is the remarkable safety results the DA40 has tallied up. With thousands of aircraft flying since 2000 it is simply the safest aircraft in its class by a huge margin statistically. You can research and measure many facets of the data but you always come to a result that places the Diamond in a safety category all alone.

The facts and results are all great and well documented but it never seems to quell the never ending discussion about the value of the parachute available on other aircraft as a “must have”. To that end we’ve included this article about the DA40 “Parachute Mode” from a very knowledgable and experience pilot and writer Paul Bertorelli.

Diamond studied what caused accidents before designing our DA40 for sale and built specific features to address the biggest glaring issues and opportunities that stand out. 1) Spins and Loss of control at low air speed, 2) Directional Control / Cross-winds, 3) Fuel Fire Containment, 4) Occupant protection and 5) Glide potential 6) Visibility 7) Power control.

The “Parachute Mode” described below is something I use and demonstrate regularly. Anyone considering which airplane to fly that includes the DA40 will be keen to know more about this. As an example of what you can do with it, when I’m over 1000 feet high than pattern over a large airport and I’m cleared to land I don’t extend the downwind leg but simply put power to idle and initiate a full stall holding the stick all the way back and descending at 600-800 fpm with very little forward movement. In my case because of lots of experience with this mode, I stay in that configuration and make the base and final turns in a full stall…this is NOT something that would ever be recommended in most other aircraft but in the DA40 there is no sharp edge to bite you. I’m confident that if I needed to plant a DA40 in a small yard with minimum forward speed I would use the technique described below all the way to the ground. The best part is the low sink rate with very little energy.  For those that have not flown the DA40 to discover its unusual qualities and precise control that contribute to safety they should certainly do so…its very unique and delightful aircraft with safety statistics that speak for themselves.

Fun With Parachute Modelogo

By Paul Bertorelli | October 30, 2011 | AVWEB

Last week, I took a ride over to Ft. Lauderdale to visit with Premier Aircraft. The company’s been having good success selling Diamond aircraft (and Mooneys) and they have a premium upgrade package for the Diamond DA40 Aircraft that includes a composite prop and a luxury interior.

I’ve always liked the DA40. It’s got a terrific combination of decent speed, cockpit visibility and, especially, benign handling. And that’s not just idle journalistic blather; the DA40 has an accident record to prove it.

The first time I flew the DA40, Jeff Owen was the demo pilot at Diamond and now he works at Premier, so we flew again last week. One thing he delights in demonstrating is what Diamond (and others) call parachute mode. Basically, you trim the airplane full nose up, idle the power and take your hands off the controls. The airplane will maintain a stable phugoid mode at a descent rate of between 600 and 1200 FPM at an indicated airspeed of 48 knots or so. In selling the DA40 against the Cirrus, Diamond has pointed out that in parachute mode, the Star might descend slower than the Cirrus does under its BRS parachute, albeit with more forward speed. (BRS says the Cirrus descent rate is between 900 and 1680 feet per minute.)

Would the DA40 be survivable if taken to the ground in parachute mode? Over rough ground, trees or an unfriendly urban environment, I’d be more than willing to take my chances in it, if a conventional engine-out landing wouldn’t work. As these things go, 48 knots and 1000 FPM is fairly low energy.

Noodling this a little further, I dove into the accident records for the DA40 to see what’s actually happening with the airplanes. The reality is there are hardly enough accidents to draw any conclusions. Nearly 1600 DA40s are flying and splitting Diamond’s low and high fleet hours estimates, the 15 or so accidents it has had give it an overall accident rate of .8/100,000 hours, just a fraction of the GA average of 6.8. Its fatal rate is about .16, a mere eighth of the overall GA average.

The real eye opener is that in all those hours, there’s not a single stall accident of any kind. I don’t think many, if any, other airplanes can make this claim. Given the number of high-profile stall accidents we’ve seen recently (Colgan and AF 447), this record is remarkable, in my view. While it may be true our Diamond DA40 for sale is used as a trainer and its high-aspect, low wing loading make it less susceptible to stalls, it’s also true things like this haven’t kept pilots from unintentional stalls anyway. But evidently not in the DA40.

By the way, parachute mode works in other airplanes, too. But not necessarily as well, because the phugoid is less damped and the down-cycle airspeed builds to yield a higher descent rate. Next time you’re out flying, try it. It could be a revealing exercise that might save your life.

You may enjoy reading also the banter in the comments on the post as well.
