Yep, DA50RG is FAA certified, along with the CD-300: https://www.avweb.com/air-shows-events/ ... rtificate/

I heard that there were 4 completed DA50s sitting on the ramp at Diamond Austria awaiting FAA certification to be ferried across the Atlantic to North America. So it may be time for a formation flight... ;)

How do the DA50 scheduled MX costs through TBR compare to the DA40NG and the DA62 -- both with and without replacement reserves?

Hopefully that unlocks the other certification work, like NXi phase 3.

Hopefully the one that I ordered is one of them...

But Diamond sucks at communicating... so I have no idea.

The delivery pilot says the thing will have about 45 hours on it at delivery...

I think that was a bit of a sleight of hand... the tail number on that plane shows no flights... it is apparently going back to London to be finished.... so I think that was largely a PR stunt
