AIRCRAFT BRIEF

The DA40 NG is the Jet A-1 branch of Diamond's four-seat Diamond Star, certified by EASA in April 2010 and now a fixture of ab-initio flight schools worldwide. In place of the Lycoming of the earlier DA40 it carries the Austro Engine AE300, a 168 hp common-rail turbo-diesel with FADEC dual-channel ECUs and a single power lever, which burns around 5.6 US gal/h of jet fuel at 65% and removes mixture, propeller and carburettor handling from the cockpit workload. The composite airframe, long glider-like wing and 1:9.7 glide ratio make it one of the most efficient trainers in its class, and the type's accident record is among the best in general aviation.
