Commercial Pilot Maneuvers in a Diamond DA40NG

Take a flight with me as I practice all of the ASEL (airplane single engine land) Commercial Pilot maneuvers that one can be asked to demonstrate during a practical test "check ride".

I have noticed that talking out loud helps me slow down and be more deliberate in my flying... and since I love sharing flying, and I know how to make videos, figured what the hey. There are some very good videos showing some of the maneuvers (check out the Finer Points channel for chandelles and lazy 8's), but I haven't found many videos that have all the maneuvers in one place, and also didn't see any of them performed in a Diamond DA40NG like I'm flying here.

This isn't really meant to be instruction- I'm not a CFI- but maybe you can still find it interesting or helpful to your own flying. Thanks for watching!
