Diamond DA62 for Sale

Aircraft overview

The Diamond DA62 is an Austrian designed, twin engine piston aircraft built by Diamond Aircraft. It first flew in 2012, received EASA certification in 2015, and remains in production. Positioned as a modern light twin for private owners, owner pilots, flight departments and advanced training operators, the DA62 matters because it combines multi engine redundancy with Jet A burning diesel engines, composite construction and relatively low fuel consumption compared with many legacy avgas twins.

Performance & specifications

Typical cruise performance is around 170 to 190 knots, depending on power setting, altitude and loading. Published maximum range is about 1,200 nautical miles in long range configuration, with practical trip planning often lower once reserves, payload and weather are considered. The aircraft has a service ceiling of 20,000 feet. Useful load varies by equipment and year, commonly around the mid 1,000 lb range. Power comes from two Austro Engine AE330 turbocharged, liquid cooled diesel engines rated at 180 hp each, driving constant speed propellers and using Jet A fuel.

Cabin & avionics

The DA62 cabin is configured for up to seven seats, although many missions use five seats with baggage for better payload flexibility. Large gull wing doors, a separate rear entry door and a relatively wide cabin give it a different feel from older compact twins. Baggage can be carried in nose and cabin baggage areas, subject to weight and balance limits. Most aircraft are equipped with the Garmin G1000 NXi integrated flight deck, not Garmin Perspective, with digital engine monitoring, autopilot integration, traffic, terrain and weather capability depending on installed options and regional equipment.

Buying & value

Used DA62 buyers should examine engine and gearbox times, maintenance status under Diamond and Austro requirements, propeller history, deicing equipment, oxygen installation, air conditioning, avionics software status and any commercial training use. Early aircraft may differ from later examples in avionics standard, interior fit, weight options and factory updates. Common value drivers include known icing equipment, low total time, complete records, engine reserve position and G1000 NXi configuration. On PlaneFox listing data, asking prices average about EUR 1,110,000, with observed listings from EUR 642,000 to EUR 1,540,000, placing the DA62 above many older piston twins but below turbine twins with similar seating.
