Description

This Diamond DA62 is listed with a detailed equipment specification. Power comes from two Austro Engine AE330 engines, each rated at 180 hp: turbocharged, common-rail injected 2.0-litre engines burning Jet A-1, managed by an electronic engine control unit with a single power lever. They drive MT MTV-6-R-C-F/CF 194-80 three-blade constant-speed propellers. The landing gear is hydraulically retractable.

The flight deck is a Garmin G1000 NXi with two 10-inch GDU 105x displays, dual GIA 64W navigators with SBAS GPS, a GMA 1360 digital audio panel, GRS 79 AHRS, GDC 72 air data computer and a GFC 700 autopilot with yaw damper. It also lists a GTX 335R ADS-B Out transponder, Flight Stream 510, ChartView (subscription required), a 406 MHz ELT, an MD-302 standby attitude module and Garmin ESP. Listed safety features include a composite safety cabin with seats rated up to 26 g, a fail-safe airframe and wing design and multipath lightning protection. The cabin has leather seats, adjustable front backrests with lumbar support, USB outlets and electrically adjustable rudder pedals.

Year, serial number, registration, total time, engine times, seat count, location and price have not been published and are available on request.

Consultant's Notes

The short version

This Diamond DA62 for sale is listed with two Austro Engine AE330 jet-fuel engines of 180 hp each, MT three-blade constant-speed propellers, hydraulically retractable gear and a Garmin G1000 NXi flight deck with GFC 700 autopilot and yaw damper, GTX 335R ADS-B Out, Flight Stream 510, an MD-302 standby attitude module and Garmin ESP. The year of manufacture, serial number, registration, total time, engine times, seat configuration, location and price have not been published and are all available on request. What you have here is a precise equipment list and very little history, so this page explains what that equipment means and which questions turn this listing into an airplane you can value.

What the listing tells you, and what it does not

The published specification is detailed on equipment and silent on history. It reads very much like Diamond's own standard specification for a G1000 NXi-equipped DA62, down to "variety of interior designs" and a one-year Jeppesen subscription "free of charge". That does not tell us whether this is a new airplane, a demonstrator or a pre-owned aircraft built to that specification.

That is the first question to settle, because everything else follows from it. A new airplane is valued by its configuration and delivery terms. A used one is valued by its year, hours, engine status and records. Until we have the answer, we will not guess, and neither should you.

The powerplant

The DA62 is powered by two Austro Engine AE330 engines, listed here at 180 hp each. They are turbocharged, common-rail injected 2.0-litre engines that run on Jet A-1, controlled by an electronic engine control unit (EECU) with a single lever per engine. In practice, that means no mixture or propeller levers, automatic engine management and a fuel that is available at nearly every airport with turbine traffic. The props listed are MT MTV-6-R-C-F/CF 194-80 three-blade constant-speed units.

For a buyer, the engine questions are always the same: hours since new on each engine and propeller, the limits that apply, calendar items, and compliance with Austro Engine and MT service bulletins. On a new airplane, add the warranty terms.

The flight deck in plain terms

The G1000 NXi listing is long, so here is what the pieces do.

- Two GDU 105x 10-inch displays. The primary flight display and multifunction display. - Two GIA 64W units. The integrated radios: two COM/NAV with SBAS GPS, glideslope and localiser. SBAS enables LPV approaches where they are published. - GMA 1360. The digital audio panel. - GRS 79 and GDC 72. Attitude and heading reference, and air data. The core sensors. - GMU 44 and GEA 71B. Magnetometer, and the interface that brings engine and airframe data to the screens. - GFC 700 with yaw damper. A fully integrated digital autopilot. The yaw damper makes a real difference to comfort for passengers in the back. - GTX 335R. A remote-mounted transponder with ADS-B Out. Note that it is Out only; it does not display ADS-B traffic by itself. - Flight Stream 510. Wireless link between the avionics and a tablet, for flight plan transfer and database updates. - ChartView. Approach charts on the MFD, with a subscription. - MD-302 standby attitude module. An independent electronic standby instrument. - 406 MHz ELT.

Weather radar, a traffic system, air conditioning, oxygen and ice protection are not in the published list. They are popular DA62 options, so ask whether any are fitted rather than assuming they are not.

Safety features

The listing includes a composite safety cabin with seats rated up to 26 g, a fail-safe airframe and wing design and a multipath lightning protection system. It also lists Garmin ESP, electronic stability and protection, which gently pushes the controls back toward normal attitudes if the airplane strays toward excessive bank, pitch or speed while hand-flown. None of this replaces training, but it is a meaningful package in a single-pilot twin.

The cabin

The interior list describes ergonomic leather seats, adjustable pilot and co-pilot backrests with lumbar support, USB power outlets for the pilot, co-pilot and second-row passengers, instrument and ambient lighting, reading and map lights, electrically adjustable rudder pedals, a middle armrest, dual headset plugs (LEMO and standard jack) and sun visors.

The DA62 has been offered with five-seat and seven-seat (2+3+2) layouts. The seat count of this airplane has not been published. Ask for it, together with the weight and balance report: as on every airplane in this class, full fuel and a full cabin are rarely possible at the same time. Ask too for the certified maximum take-off mass, since European DA62s have been delivered with different values and it affects payload.

New or pre-owned: how to think about it

If this turns out to be a new or nearly new airplane, the questions are commercial: delivery date, exact configuration, what the warranty covers and for how long, who handles the acceptance inspection, and what registration and import steps are needed for your country. The specification above becomes the contract, so every option should be written down.

If it is a pre-owned airplane built to this specification, the questions are historical: how it was used, by whom, how many hours per year, where it was hangared, and how the records read. A G1000 NXi DA62 with modest hours and clean records holds its value well; the same airplane with gaps in its history does not.

Either way, the equipment list alone cannot set a price. It tells you what the airplane can do. The records tell you what it has done.

Who this airplane suits

The DA62 is built for the owner-pilot who carries family or colleagues on trips of several hundred miles, flies IFR single-pilot and values jet-fuel availability. It is the natural step up from a DA42 or a high-performance single. On equipment alone, this specification is the modern G1000 NXi standard that most DA62 buyers are looking for.

If you need turboprop speed or a pressurised cabin, this is not the airplane. And if you want to make a decision on the published information alone, you cannot yet: the facts that define value have not been released. Better to say so here than for you to find out after a long phone call.

What to verify before you commit

- New, demonstrator or used. The first and most important question. - Year, serial number and registration. - Total time and engine and propeller times, with limits and calendar items. - Warranty on airframe, engines and avionics, if any remains. - Optional equipment fitted beyond the published list, and the seat configuration. - Weight and balance and certified masses. - Complete logbooks, Airworthiness Directives and service bulletin compliance. - Damage history, in writing. - Certificate of airworthiness, airworthiness review and registry, including any import or export. - Pre-purchase inspection at a Diamond-experienced maintenance organisation, or an acceptance inspection if the airplane is new.

Price and how to make an offer
