Final sign off

With the introductory flight done, and flight to get acquainted with the G1000 system complete, it was time to wrap things up with the DA40. My CFI and I banged out a string of landings, all under different circumstances. Engine out from 3000' AGL, soft field, short field, no flaps, the works. At one point we even got to fly through some snow squalls. While it did reduce the visability, it wasn't nearly as difficult as I would have guessed.

The DA40 won't be my regular airplane. It's too expensive to rent, and it's availability isn't the greatest. It is a very popular rental aircraft. But for longer trips where a little extra speed is needed, it'll be the tops of the list.
