We are really impressed with our new Jet-A1 powered DA40 NG’s and DA42-VI’s. They are providing us with excellent reliability and are an excellent platform for our training. We expect fuel  consumption reductions over our AvGas powered fleet of 32% for our single-engine aircraft and 55% for the multi-engine fleet. Well done to you guys for producing such great products.
