Diamond Katana DA-20

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 CD-ROM

The fuel-efficient Katana is widely used in flight training around the world. It may not be as plentiful as aircraft from Cessna and Piper, but wherever it's used it tends to be a most popular aircraft. One of the reasons is that it's a nice handling airplane, plus it's cheap - and it's fast (that sounds like a whole lot of reasons). In addition, the turbo-charged Katanas can fly up to 20,000'ASL (about 7,000' higher than a C172 or Warrior).

The realistic flight dynamics were proven by real Katana pilots. Accurate airspeeds, climb rates, fuel consumption and handling result in an authentic experience that is extremely useful for training tasks. The view from the left seat is incredibly realistic!

You'll have fun cruising as high as 17,000 feet at speeds of around 125 knots in this fully equipped, true-to-life performance, "flight sim" version of this modern trainer.

Here is a short list of the large number of great features in this aircraft:

  • Real flight dynamics (climb rates, speed, fuel requirements and handling)
  • Stunning soundset based on real records
  • GMAX-model
  • Exact animations of the gear, flaps, window and many other parts.
  • Accurate panel with view from the pilot and the copilot perspective
  • Large, good readable gauges
  • Completely simulated avionics
  • Highly detailed virtual cockpit.
  • Kneeboard with a helpful documentation.
This is a very useful package for anyone checking out on the Katana.
