Meant to be September 2024

My DA62 serial 252 was ordered in July 2021 with original delivery date of 2nd Qtr 2023. It was pushed back to August 2023 and now it is expected in October 2023.

I visited the DAI’s Austrian factory in mid-June 2023 and saw that the fuselage and the wing production was complete on the 252. I recall seeing avionics being installed in serial 242 in June 2023 which is really close to the final production stage. It is my understanding that my 252 is the next one in line for completion.

That seems correct. I have serial 255, ordered Jul 31, 2021. Presently predicting Nov / Dec 2023 delivery.

I have serial 62.269 and estimated delivery is now March 2024.

Geez, I placed my order in Jan '22 and don't have a serial number. Talked with Premier and they haven't gotten any information lately either and are becoming frustrated with DA. What do you want to make a bet they are taking civilian DA62s and pushing them for the Special Missions aircraft. I Imagine a lot more margin when selling to governments and other ISR outfits.

My order was placed September 2021, and just 2 weeks ago got a serial number and production slot. Perhaps you'll be in a similar spot in December. Who knows.

62.252 update: Senial number was assigned in late March 2023. Aircraft is now scheduled to fly over from Austria on October 2nd (fingers crossed). If this is a trend, expect approximately six-month fly over date from the date serial number was assigned for Austrian built aircrafts.

I just got serial number 62.302 from Austria and Premier seems to think Sep '24. So I went from Q1'24 to Q3'24m about a 6 month slip to the right.

Serial 62.252 with tail number N123AA was delivered on 10/24/2023. Original order date was July 2021.

FWIW, ours was scheduled for early 2023 in Canada and it just got its CofA, #65. No update on delivery yet.
#63, with a US registration, stopped in Ottawa yesterday from London, ON.
