Diamond Aircraft is honored to have received the 2016 Fliegermagazin Award for our DA62, as the best new airplane, at this year’s AERO Friedrichshafen.
With a spacious cabin, offering optional three row seven passenger seating, excellent payload and exceptionally low fuel burn, the DA62 is best described as a flying SUV. It represents the ultimate development of Diamond’s piston aircraft line, incorporating decades of experience in certified composite airplane construction, safety, jetfuel piston powerplants and advanced avionics integration.
The aircraft offers twin engines safety with operating simplicity comparable to high performance singles, due to FADEC controlled single lever powerplants. With flight into known ice certification, it is a superb choice for reliable and capable four season transportation along the coast and over open water.
The DA62 spoils pilots and passengers alike, with an extra- large cabin, generous and adjustable front seats, a 60/40 split folding three seat second row bench and optional folding two seat third row bench. Comfortable access for all on board is assured through the two forward gullwing doors and the huge rear door that provides access to all rear seats and the fuselage baggage compartment. Baggage is stowed in the generous nose and fuselage compartments, offering maximum flexibility in loading for any mission. Luxury features abound throughout, including premium interiors in several styles, colours and materials, all LED interior lighting, optional electric air conditioning and more.
The Garmin G1000 flight deck with standard 3-axis GFC700 Automated Flight Control System and yaw damper and available integrated weather radar, combined with simple single lever power controls, offers great control, situational awareness and a comfortable pilot workload.
The sleek all carbon composite airframe incorporates advanced aerodynamics with the latest in passive safety technology for high performance, great efficiency and superior occupant protection. Further enhancing the dynamic and elegant lines, are the unlimited choices of available colors and paint designs.
