N695DS has been a 5-owner aircraft with the current owner having lovingly cared for it the past three years. Since 2013, with the past 2 owners, it has been based at the same airport. It has been put to great use over that timeframe in a flying club on the field. It has never been part of a traditional flight school fleet and has exclusively served it's owner and the club members on a mix of both training and personal use adventures. The current owner is a professional pilot making a move to New England and sadly cannot justify continued ownership with the associated downsizing necessary for the move.

All logbooks are continuous and complete. It boasts solid engine compressions and is chock full of options and upgrades. N695DS is ready to be seen into the hands of a new owner to continue it's great story.

Exterior
Exterior Notes
All over white paint with black and sand dune metallic vinyl trim. Original paint is in good condition with only a handful of minor cosmetic blemishes. The exterior is on par for the vintage and shows well with plenty of life remaining.
Interior
Interior Notes
Saddle brown premier leather seating with beige trim. Interior is still serviceable but does show wear, particularly on side panels and rear seats. Front seats have been protected with beige sheepskin covers which have been regularly dry cleaned by the current owner.
For targeted interior restoration, there are many very affordable options... call us today to discuss!
About the Diamond DA40
The Diamond DA40 is one of the safest four-seat single-engine aircraft in production — composite construction, Austro AE300 diesel (modern variants) or Lycoming IO-360 (DA40-180 piston variant), factory Garmin G1000 NXi avionics, ~150 kt cruise on the diesel. The DA40's exceptional safety record (independent analyses consistently rank it among the safest small aircraft) combines with materially lower operating cost than Avgas equivalents (DA40 NG with diesel burns ~6-9 gph Jet-A vs ~10-12 gph Avgas on equivalent Cessna 172 or Cirrus SR20). Production variants: DA40 TDI (Thielert diesel, 2002-2008 — engine support issues), DA40 NG (Austro AE300 diesel, 2009+ — current), DA40-180 (Lycoming IO-360 piston, current). The DA40 NG with Austro AE300 is the volume modern fleet.
Produced 2000. Total produced: 2,000.
