I am probably a pretty good person to answer this question as I have a lot of experience in both. For background I am a CSIP (Cirrus Standardized Instructor Pilot), and also own 3 Diamonds used in flight training, and have trained students in new and used aircraft of both. When the time came to buy ...

We have a DA42 available next week in Princeton NJ at the Princeton Flying School. 609-921-3100.

Very experienced instructor,

Give us a call.

7) N704AB. DA42. Panel and autopilot
N412PJ. DA40. panel and autopilot
9) N660 PS. DA40 panel and autopilot.

If we did one, probably do all 3 for standardization.
All 3 nonwaas kap140 legacy g1000s.

Couple of questions (probably need to ask diamond). 1) What is the difference between a partial upgrade to waas and a full upgrade, cause you can do partial upgrade and a waas upgrade for 90k for legacy airplanes, but a full upgrade is 185k. 2) does a full upgrade include gfc 700.

He has been extremely busy getting caught up and has been assigned some additional accounts, so he's stretched even more thin now. Obviously there is not much anyone at Garmin can share un...

Our DA40 with extended fuel tanks has a leak from the check valve in the capillary line (fuel is leaking out the vent under the wing). Mechanic wants to repair the check valve but can’t get to it/find it. He sees the standard tanks (in our other DA40) has check valve at end of tank , but for the lon...

We need another unfeathering accumulator. Anyone know where we could get ours overhauled? The price from a new one at Diamond is not pretty, We have a TDI 2.0 engine.

Our flight school has 3 aircraft that we would like to upgrade. N704AB Da42 Cd135 engines KAP140 N412PJ Da40 Lycomimg with KAP 140 N660PS Da40 Lycomimg with KAP 140 I also know of at least one more legacy DA40 on the field that would likely be interested. I will check with owner and see if he wants ...
