Year of mfct 2000
6000-h maintenance performed in 12/2019 at TT 5999 h. The 6000-hour maintenance is the largest maintenance cycle on these Diamonds, and it means this one is as good as new save for aesthetic features. For example, the labourious job of exchanging the rudder control cables was done then, in 12/2019. Practically all linkages and moving parts replaced at that point. Cabin floor repainted, interior partly refurbished. Things have just been reworked to easily go trouble-free for the next 1-2,000 hours with the idea of us keeping it; however as it has a slightly different panel from the rest of our fleet we are now letting go of it as the first DA20-C1 in our fleet.
Some may call this the DA20-C1 “Eclipse” but as it does not have the rear windows of the Eclipse, the correct nickname is in fact “Evolution” — that’s the only difference between the two designations.
Engine
Injected Continental IO-240-B, 0-hour Continental Rebuilt engine installed in 11/2015 at TT 4676, meaning >500 h to go before TBO of 2200 h is reached. Plenty of calendar time left!
Propeller(s)
MT-Propeller MT175 R 150-2Ca, new installed on 1/2019 and only 350 h run so far.

About the Diamond DA20 Katana
The Diamond Katana is the two-seat composite trainer that established Diamond's composite-construction reputation. It is sold under two designations for the same fundamental aircraft: **DV20** (European/original, Rotax 912 engine) and **DA20** (North American, with the DA20-A1 on Rotax and the volume DA20-C1 "Eclipse" on the Continental IO-240). Composite airframe, distinctive bubble canopy with excellent visibility, ~135 kt cruise on the DA20-C1, and very low operating cost made the Katana a popular primary trainer and economical two-seat owner aircraft. The DA20-C1 in particular is a fixture at US flight schools.
