Imagine this: It’s getting dark. You’re in the mountains, crossing big water or densely populated terrain. You’re picking up ice and your intended destination just closed. At times like this, the security of the second engine, incredible endurance and single engine performance, a FIKI certified ice protection system, superior situational awareness courtesy of the supreme Garmin G1000NXi glass flightdeck, and an autopilot with razor sharp precision and standard Electronic Stability & Protection (Garmin ESP™), are – quite simply – life insurance.
The performance, stability, handling characteristics and ease of operation of the DA42 make it an easy transition from single to twin. Superb performance with a single engine service ceiling of 18,000’ offers a margin of safety that single engine aircraft simply do not have. Especially when flying in inclement weather, over inhospitable terrain, over water and at night, nothing beats the safety of continued flight in case of engine failure. That is why Diamond’s high performance piston is a twin.
The DA42’s unique combination of performance and utility will impress pilots looking to go direct, even in unfriendly weather. Flight schools training the next generation of professional pilots benefit from the DA42’s superior recruitment appeal, while enjoying low total life cycle costs that make the DA42 thebest value, as well as the most capable aircraft, on any flight training line.
