About the Diamond Aircraft DA-15

The Diamond DA-15 is a two-seat, high-wing light sport aircraft manufactured by Diamond Aircraft Industries of Austria, though it's better known in North America under its original Czech designation as the Evektor SportStar. Introduced in the early 2000s and certified under both European ultralight and U.S. Light Sport Aircraft regulations, the DA-15 represents Diamond's entry into the LSA market alongside its more famous DA20 and DA40 trainers.

Powered by a 100-horsepower Rotax 912ULS engine, the aircraft features a composite airframe, tricycle landing gear, and a distinctive bubble canopy that provides excellent visibility for both occupants. With a maximum takeoff weight of just 1,764 pounds and a never-exceed speed of 151 knots, the DA-15 occupies the sweet spot between ultralight simplicity and cross-country capability. Its stall speed of 45 knots in landing configuration and docile handling characteristics make it popular among sport pilots and flight schools seeking an economical alternative to traditional trainers.

The type's relatively low operating costs, modern avionics compatibility, and compliance with LSA rules allowing sport pilot certificate holders to fly it without a medical certificate have sustained a small but dedicated following in the United States. SkyMeter has tracked flights across airframes and operators, with the largest observed operator.
