Diamond Star DA - 40

The Diamond DA40 xl is the ideal four-seat single-engine aircraft with performance, safety and efficiency integrated into every aspect of its design. Built to impress, the DA40 is a joy to fly and comes fully loaded with a lot of equipment you would pay extra for in other aircraft: the Garmin G1000 glass cockpit with integrated GFC700 autopilot; traffic, weather and terrain; high-performance powerplant; and many other features.

The luxurious cabin is not only comfortable but is also practical. Spacious and wide, the DA40 XL cabin has more baggage volume and better access – thanks to its separate door for backseat passengers – than any aircraft in its class. Fresh-air ventilation and heating improve comfort

Garmin G1000 Glass Cockpit
The Garmin G1000 glass cockpit offers unparalleled situational awareness and flight monitoring. If you are new to glass cockpits, you will be amazed at how easy they are to learn, and how much you’ve been
missing. The integrated GFC700 is more than just an autopilot, it is an automated flight control system, with features that until now were only found on airliners, including constant speed climbs and digital turn
anticipation, making ILS intercepts significantly smoother than with traditional analog autopilots. Other highlights of the G1000 glass cockpit are:
• Critical flight information can be displayed on both screens for easy
viewing from either seat
• Dual Nav/Com/GPS WAAS ready
• Dual power sources
• Standby instruments, centered at the top of the instrument panel for
easy viewing from either seat, have their own dedicated power supply
• XM Satellite radio and digital audio player ready
