Fly Fishing with the Diamond DA40

Fly Fishing with the Diamond DA40. Many folks get involved in aviation looking for a way to get to business and pleasure destinations faster. When a great example of this comes up we like to share it with our readers.

Diamond DA40 Flight

The coast of North Carolina with its paradise called the “Outer Banks” represents a sportsman’s nirvana. The eastern tip of the outer banks is where the famous Hatteras Lighthouse is and where anglers go for amazing surf fishing and super quick access to the gulf stream. Hatteras is loosely connected to the world via a ferry from the mainland and a ferry from Ocracok Garmin G1000e Island and from the North via the Bonner Bridge coming down from Nags Head and the Kitty Hawk area. Its a solid 5 hour drive from the capitol city of Raleigh located only about a 150 miles away due to the route, bridges and two lane beach traffic. This means anglers wanting a weekend fishing excursion have a 10 hour round trip in store.

Diamond DA40 Garmin 1000

I scheduled our departure for Saturday afternoon so I could have most of the day for other activities. By air in the Diamond DA40 XLT in air conditioned comfort we took off at 4PM on Saturday afternoon and arrive in less than an hour due to a very nice tail wind and efficient speed of the modern Diamond DA40. The anglers that drove there to meet us spent the day on the road and arrived well after us. The route is direct with with no restricted airspace in the way. The letdown from 7500 ft over the Pamlico Sound was a sight to see. We enjoyed a tour of the beach and Hatteras light at 500Fly Fishing feet as a treat since we were in no hurry to leave our perch that provided such a beautiful view of the islands.

Diamond DA40 Fishing Trip

This particular trip was for Cobia fishing something I’ve never experienced before. One difference is we don’t head out until 7AM since its a mid-day event with high sun used to help spot the large Cobia just under the surface. Once spotted the boat gets very active with our crew of six anglers trying to put their jig closest to the pack of fish. It was amazing to be able to watch the whole process unfold as the fish attacked the lures. Then the excitement begins! Imagine 3 to 6 guys all holding on to 30+lb fish moving all around and the guys trying to keep their fish from tangling with the guy beside him. It makes for some serious excitement. The first half of our day was a bit slow and we were starting to wonder if our haul would be less thanFly Fishing satisfactory when all of a sudden we came on a large school and literally every one of the guys was hooked up at the same time and several multiple times. The back of the boat exploded with flopping monsters being gaffed and brought in one after the other. Wow it was quite an experience. When the water settled we had our limit minus one so it was time to head for the dock.

Diamond DA40 Cockpit

The guys had told me that you did not catch Cobia trolling but I did not believe them so as we motor toward Hatteras point I kept my line out and WhaFly Fishingm! Something big got on. Compared to the rest of the day it had to be one of the biggest. The guys were all wondering what it was since surely you don’t catch Cobia trolling. After a fight that last for what seemed like quite a while finally we got the glimpse of one of the largest Cobia caught for the day. Once gaffed and pressed into the overflowing fish hold it was time to head in and we realized it was only 2PM and we were done! It was an amazing day and the best part was after a few shots at the dock with the fish we whisked off to the airport a few minutes away and about an hour later were on the ground headed for home in time for dinner with the family.

Diamond Aircraft - Why Fly?

Call Us @ (406 ) FLY-1NOW / (406)-359-1669

Diamond Aircraft. Why Fly? Let’s face it, airline travel is no fun anymore. In fact, it’s downright annoying. All the security shenanigans, delays, layovers, crowded flights, change fees, snarly gate agents and limited destinations make the airliners something people just endure these days. Then comes the daily reports of terrorism which are enough to prompt any thoughtful frequent traveler to ask the question, “Isn’t there a different way?”

Well there is… but, the sad fact is 90% of those on the “airline bus” have no idea there is another economical air travel alternative. In fact, they don’t know that there is a way to travel by air and take your dog, your tools, your big shampoo and never even see a TSA agent. It’s completely segregated from the “bus lines” in the main terminal so they just don’t know about it. This alternate means is typically on the other side of the field where there are friendly folks that greet you and the plane is right at the door and you stroll out and get in. Really, no kidding…its a completely different experience.

Diamond Aircraft

I’m not talking about the “Jet-Set” crowd paying $3,000, $5,000 or even $10,000 an hour to fly on a charter jet, I’m talking about private individuals enjoying the freedom and economy of modern aircraft and either piloting the plane themselves or having a qualified pilot on-board to do the flying while training them to enjoy the use of their own plane.

Diamond DA62 Twin Aircraft

“We call it the Learn While You Earn program,” says John Armstrong, Founder and President of LifeStyle Aviation. “We introduce busy people to the potential of modern aviation and then team them with management and training services for their aircraft so they can focus on what’s important in their lives. It makes acquiring a personal or private business aircraft make total sense.”

LifeStyle Aviation may be on to something. Combining the amazing advantages of modern personal aircraft with training services and unique economical ownership models opens up a whole new potential to independent business people, professionals and even retired folks that are looking to enjoy mobility without all the hassles.

Diamond Aircraft

LifeStyle Aviation has just upped the game to a different level with the introduction of a new game changing modern diamond aircraft, the DA62. This ultra safe, amazingly efficient, incredibly practical SUV of the skies has just arrived on the scene with first deliveries planned the first of 2016. This is the Diamond DA62 Twin Aircraft.

What’s so special about it? Well, basically everything! Its made of carbon fiber like Formula 1 race cars. The engines are based on a Mercedes diesel engine that burns Jet Fuel and is especially designed for aviation use. They have proven to be ultra reliable but more importantly, they are fully computer controlled and sip half the fuel of typical aircraft engines. Its now possible to cruise at over 210 MPH enjoying about the same fuel economy as a typical SUV. This is a big deal and completely changes the economics of personal flight. The cockpit flight deck is computerized and the digital autopilot makes the use of the plane more like a “Google self-driving vehicle” than a typical aircraft.

Diamond Aircraft

For those that don’t need 7 seats and a 4 seat cruiser would be a good fit, the company offers a single engine (DA40) and twin engine version (DA42). The single engine version is super economical, popular and often the ideal place for private fliers to start.

“The latest wave of personal aircraft advances have changed everything.” says Armstrong, “We believe if everyone knew how convenient, pleasant and economical it now is to enjoy personal air travel, they would all want to do it.”

Diamond Aircraft

Some people stay away from considering private aviation because they believe its “too hard” to learn to fly. Well the company has a page on their website entitled “Is Flying Harder than Driving… Are You Kidding Me!” They detail out what it takes to learn, and why people choose to fly what are the benefits of flying. A very unique thing they’ve done is to create a corps of “Flying Ambassadors” that are people that are willing to share with new potential pilots all about what it means to have the freedom of personal flight.

Diamond DA20-C1 Aircraft

LifeStyle Aviation is in the business of helping people acquire modern aircraft and achieve what they call the “Aviation LifeStyle”. To accomplish their aim they have assemble dozens of flight schools into the LifeStyle Aviation Network and the group provides turnkey aircraft and services to help people succeed. This includes training and pilot services so folks can choose to be pilots or just have a professional pilot take them in their plane where they want to go. They didn’t stop there but created the DiamondShare program which provides ownership and membership options in modern aircraft to “make the dollars make sense” they claim.

Diamond DA40 NG Aircraft

If you are a busy professional that travels, an independent business person that values their time and convenience, or anyone that is sick of the airlines and wishing for “a different way” then you should visit this innovative outfit and learn more about the potential of personalized private modern flight.

Diamond Aircraft With ADS-B Garmin Panel. More info from Garmin follows. All-in-one Transponder Solution for ADS-B “Out” and “In” 1090 MHz ADS-B “Out” enables aircraft to operate at any altitude, in airspace around the globe Combines Mode S Extended Squitter (ES) transponder and optional WAAS/GPS position source in a single unit, Provides access to dual-link ADS-B “In” traffic and subscription-free weather on compatible displays.

Wirelessly stream weather, traffic, GPS position and backup attitude via Connext™ link to Garmin Pilot™ and ForeFlight Mobile apps as well as the aera® 795/796 portables. Easy replacement for your existing transponder, with common 1.65-inch tall form factor. Meeting ADS-B equipage rules for NextGen airspace just got easier – and more beneficial – for thousands of aircraft owners worldwide.

With the introduction of the GTX 345 series of Mode S Extended Squitter (ES) transponders, Garmin provides a one-box, one-swap solution that enables owners and operators to meet ADS-B requirements with minimal expense, downtime and disruption to their panels – while providing all the weather and traffic benefits of ADS-B “In”.

Diamond DA62 Garmin 1000

But where other transponders leave off, the GTX 345 is just getting started. The addition of 1090 MHz ADS-B “Out” transmission capability (using precise GPS-referenced positioning information) enables the transponder to automatically output the more accurate, more dynamic traffic surveillance data that the NextGen airspace system requires. Plus, available ADS-B “In” reception unlocks even more capabilities for pilots, enabling them to display ADS-B traffic, weather and more on a variety of installed or portable displays.

Diamond DA20-C1 Garmin 500

The IFR-certified GTX 345 looks and operates like a standard Mode S transponder. It fits in the same 1.65-inch high slot in your avionics stack. It boasts a bright, sunlight-readable digital display, a pressure altitude readout, handy timers for approaches and other operations, plus dedicated pushbuttons numbered 0-9 for quick and easy squawk code entry.

Diamond DA20-C1 Garmin 500

In addition to 1090 MHz ADS-B “Out”, the GTX 345 also makes available the subscription-free weather and traffic display capabilities enabled by ADS-B “In” – which can be interfaced with compatible cockpit displays or streamed wirelessly via Garmin Connext™ to our aera 796/795 series portables, as well as to popular tablets/mobile devices by way of apps such as Garmin Pilot™, or ForeFlight Mobile. The ADS-B weather link is continuously broadcast on the 978 MHz Universal Access Transceiver (UAT) frequency, and is similar to the basic services offered by leading commercial satellite weather providers. For example, you can access NEXRAD imagery, METARs, TAFs, winds and temperatures aloft, PIREPs, NOTAMs, and more.

Diamond DA42 Garmin 1000

The extra-precise GPS position reference needed to meet the traffic monitoring requirements of ADS-B can be provided either by the WAAS/SBAS-compliant navigation system that you may already have in your panel – or by an optional built-in GPS position source available with your GTX 345 transponder. However your aircraft is currently equipped, the Garmin GTX 345 series offers a simple, minimally intrusive ADS-B solution to meet your needs. For even more flexibility, optional remote mount GTX versions are available for compatibility with the GTN™ 750/650 series of GPS/Comm/Nav systems, as well as select Garmin G1000® integrated flight deck systems – all of which provide built-in remote transponder code selection and control.

Diamond DA42 Garmin 1000

Along with this, you can also receive ADS-B traffic position reports (and threat-level symbology) to help you see-and-avoid converging targets in busy airspace. Spoken audio alerts call out potential flight path conflicts (“Traffic, 10 O’Clock, same altitude, two miles”) to get you looking in the right direction. Meanwhile, on your display, Garmin’s patent-pending TargetTrend™ relative motion display1 offers a faster, more intuitive way of judging target trajectories and closure rates in relation to your flight path.

Diamond DA42 Garmin 1000

As an added safety feature, available on most new Garmin products, our TerminalTraffic™ technology provides a comprehensive picture of ADS-B equipped aircraft and ground vehicles in the airport environment. ADS-B equipped aircraft in flight are easily distinguished from ground vehicles and taxiing aircraft, which are displayed using distinct colors and symbols. All of this information is presented on a simple, easy-to-understand SafeTaxi® diagram which references the location of runways, taxiways, hangar locations and more.

Diamond DA40 Garmin 1000

The GTX 345 ADS-B receiver is a dual-link system. So, it can receive on both frequencies (978 MHz and 1090 MHz) authorized for ADS-B operations in the U.S. Not only does this provide the most complete traffic picture from aircraft transmitting on either frequency, but it also enhances your aircraft’s ability to access ADS-B transmissions and services from virtually anywhere. When integrating an active traffic system with the GTX 345, ADS-B traffic and active traffic targets are merged on the display to give pilots a truly comprehensive traffic picture.

Diamond DA40 Garmin 1000

ADS-B for Your Integrated Flight Deck. With a variety of compatibilities covering most fielded displays, our ADS-B enabled GTX series transponders offer the easiest NextGen upgrade path available from Garmin – especially for owners of select G1000-equipped aircraft. For these systems, a remote mount version, the GTX 345R, interfaces with either the aircraft’s existing WAAS position source for navigation or uses an optional built-in WAAS position source to meet ADS-B “Out” requirements.

Diamond DA62 Garmin 1000

The Diamond Aircraft G1000 series displays interface with the remote GTX transponder to provide onscreen squawk code entry and control in the conventional manner. Depending on the software version installed, your Garmin glass displays can also support subscription-free weather on the MFD – as well as ADS-B traffic targets on both the MFD and PFD displays for aircraft equipped with Synthetic Vision Technology (SVT™).

Diamond DA40 Garmin 1000

Alerting and Altitude Encoding Made Simple. For added situational awareness, the GTX 345 incorporates a built-in audio output for audible traffic and altitude alerts1, which can be integrated into your existing audio panel. You can also pair the GTX series with an optional Garmin altitude encoder to satisfy data transmission requirements for IFR. As opposed to other transponders with altitude encoding built in, the Garmin altitude encoder mounts separately on the install rack. So, should the transponder ever require removal, there’s no need for the static line to be disconnected. Which, in turn, eliminates the need for a follow-on leak check – and thus helps minimize ongoing service costs.

Diamond DA40 Garmin 1000

An easier path to NextGen. The Garmin GTX 345 series is being FAA approved for installation on hundreds of today’s most popular aircraft makes and models. For decades, Garmin has led in the development and deployment of ADS-B technology. And when you compare all the options available, it’s clear that Garmin is committed to making your transition to ADS-B operations as simple, economical and worry-free as possible. Garmin ADS-B compatibilities cover a wide range of systems and displays; however, not all functions may be available for every configuration. Please check the Compatibility tab for more specifics or limitations that may apply to your system.

Flight instruments are the instruments in the cockpit of an aircraft that provide the pilot with information about the flight situation of that aircraft, such as altitude, airspeed and direction. They improve safety by allowing the pilot to fly the aircraft in level flight, and make turns, without a reference outside the aircraft such as the horizon.

Eclipse Panel - Eclipse™ Light Blocking Fairfax Thermaweave Curtain Panel. ... Threshold™ Uptown
Stripe Light Blocking Curtain Panel

Visual flight rules (VFR) require an airspeed indicator, an altimeter, and a compass or other suitable magnetic direction indicator. Instrument flight rules (IFR) additionally require a gyroscopic pitch-bank (artificial horizon), direction (directional gyro) and rate of turn indicator, plus a slip-skid indicator, adjustable altimeter, and a clock. Flight into Instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) require radio navigation instruments for precise takeoffs and landings.

Cessna Mustang Panel - The Citation Mustang has traditional flight controls including trim and autopilot for each axis. Dual pilot controls are provided through panel mounted yokes for aileron and elevator control and rudder pedals for rudder, brakes,and nosewheel steering. All primary control surface connections are mechanical using pushrod, bellcrank, sector, and stainless steel cable systems.

The term is sometimes used loosely as a synonym for cockpit instruments as a whole, in which context it can include engine instruments, navigational and communication equipment. Many modern aircraft have electronic flight instrument systems. Most regulated aircraft have these flight instruments as dictated by the US Code of Federal Regulations, Title 14, Part 91. They are grouped according to pitot-static system, compass systems, and gyroscopic instruments.

Cessna 172 Skyhawk Panel In 1976, Cessna stopped marketing the aircraft as the 172 and began exclusively using the "Skyhawk" designation. This model year also saw a redesigned instrument panel to hold more avionics. Among other changes, the fuel and other small gauges are relocated to the left side for improved pilot readability compared with the earlier 172 panel designs. Total production of "M" models was 7306 over the four years it was manufactured.

LifeStyle Aviation also for the last 9 years has been a Diamond Regional Distribution Center (DRDC) offering new DA20 trainers, popular DA40 gas and Jet Fuel burning aircraft plus the Jet Fuel burning DA42 and the new seven place DA62 twin. LifeStyle Aviation coordinates the ongoing development of the LifeStyle Aviation Network and its Partner Flight Centers. LifeStyle Aviation is also the creator of the unique DiamondShare program (DiamondShare.com) that provides attractive shared access to modern aircraft.

DA62 DiamondShare Now Available! DiamondShare program expands to include the new Diamond DA62, DA40 NG and DA42-VI modern aircraft. The company is highlighting the availability to purchase the new 7 Place DA62 as well as the expansion of the DiamondShare Program during an East Coast Demo Tour.

The tour begins at the AOPA Fly-In at Beaufort NC on May 19th and travels up the entire East Coast into June going as far north as Boston. Numerous stops are planned and prospective buyers can request demo flights in the remarkable Jet-Fuel burning turbo diesel 7 place aircraft and other Diamond models during the tour by contacting LifeStyle Aviation at (phone: 406-FLY-1NOW) or sales@LifeStyleAviation.com.

The all New Diamond DA62 jet-fuel burning twin has been featured recently on most of the aviation magazine front covers and represents a truly remarkable leap forward in cabin size, luxury, performance, and economy. The plane has 7 seats, burns less than most high performance single engine aircraft and half as much as most twins while cruising at over 200 MPH. The DA62 provides the US market an “SUV-Sized” aircraft for business and pleasure that creates a new standard for technology, utility and economy.

LifeStyle sells new and used modern aircraft and designed their DiamondShare Program (DiamondShare.com) as another option to provide buyers compelling ownership economics to help justify the aircraft they desire.

“We have found that helping buyers find the ‘right ownership structure’ to justify their aircraft economics is very important.” Stated John Armstrong, founder and CEO of LifeStyle Aviation and creator of the DiamondShare Program. “People realize that planes need to fly more than maybe they plan to use them and parking their money in an underutilized asset may not be the ideal investment. Buyers appreciate the way the DiamondShare program gives them full control while leveraging additional usage by a few select members.”
