Diamond Aircraft Da62

Twin Piston

The Diamond DA62 represents a modern evolution in light twin-engine aircraft design, combining composite construction with diesel engine technology to create one of the most fuel-efficient twins in general aviation. Introduced by Austrian manufacturer Diamond Aircraft in 2015, the DA62 is powered by twin Austro Engine AE330 turbodiesel powerplants that burn Jet-A fuel rather than avgas, delivering exceptional range and operating economics while cruising at altitudes up to 20,000 feet. The aircraft's distinctive T-tail, swept wings, and all-composite airframe give it both aesthetic appeal and aerodynamic efficiency, achieving cruise speeds around 180 knots while burning roughly 50 percent less fuel than comparable gasoline twins. Certified for single-pilot IFR operations, the DA62 seats up to seven occupants and has found favor among owner-pilots, air taxi operators, and flight training organizations seeking a capable twin with modern avionics and benign handling characteristics. Its full-authority digital engine control system and advanced Garmin flight deck make it one of the most technologically sophisticated aircraft in the piston-twin category. SkyMeter has tracked 3 flights across 1 airframes and 1 operators, with PEEBLES, Paul Joseph the largest observed operator.
