About the Diamond DA62

The Diamond DA62 is the world's first twin-engine piston aircraft with a full composite airframe and diesel powerplants, certified in 2015 by Austria's Diamond Aircraft Industries. Powered by two Austro AE330 turbodiesel engines producing 180 hp each, the DA62 burns Jet-A fuel rather than avgas, offering significantly lower operating costs and better fuel availability worldwide. Its clean-sheet design prioritizes efficiency and safety, featuring a spacious seven-seat cabin, a 1,285 nautical mile range, and a service ceiling of 20,000 feet.

The type's composite construction and aerodynamic refinement deliver cruise speeds around 180 knots true airspeed while burning roughly 14 gallons per hour combined — fuel economy that rivals many single-engine aircraft. The DA62 incorporates advanced safety features including a whole-airframe parachute system, anti-icing capabilities, and excellent single-engine performance with a blue-line speed of 84 knots. Its Garmin G1000 NXi avionics suite and spacious cabin have made it popular for both personal transportation and light charter operations, particularly among owner-pilots seeking twin-engine redundancy without the fuel penalties of traditional gasoline twins.

Since entering service, the DA62 has found a niche in roles ranging from private ownership to flight training, aerial survey, and even light cargo operations where its combination of range, payload, and operating economy proves advantageous. The type represents Diamond's evolution from its successful single-engine DA40 and DA42 twin, scaling up cabin volume and capability while maintaining the company's signature efficiency and handling characteristics. SkyMeter has tracked flights across airframes and operators, with the largest observed operator.
