About the Diamond Da 42
The Diamond DA42 Twin Star is the modern composite twin that replaced legacy piston twins as the volume multi-engine trainer and light family twin. Twin Austro AE300 diesel engines (modern fleet) or Thielert TAE 125 diesels (early fleet — see warnings below), ~170 kt cruise, factory Garmin G1000 NXi avionics, four-seat composite cabin. The DA42's combination of twin- engine redundancy, Jet-A operating economics and modern systems made it the multi-engine training benchmark and the light-twin family hauler at materially lower operating cost than legacy Avgas-powered piston twins. Production variants: DA42 (Thielert TAE 125, 2004-2008 — significant engine issues), DA42 NG (Austro AE300, 2009-2013), DA42 VI (Austro AE300 refined, 2013-current).
Produced 2004. Total produced: 900.
