12. Diamond Aircraft - DA40 NG Flight review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 дек 2022
- We continue our adventure with Diamond Aircraft. During my visit to Vienna in January 2022 I was blessed to fly all Diamond Aircraft including DA-40NG. Today's video will be about this aircraft - Diamond DA-40NG. Initially created as a flight trainer I think it's also good choice for beginner private owners. From this video you will see that true airspeed of this aircraft in a cruise mode close to 130 kts with fuel consumption around 7 gal of diesel (Jet fuel). Which is 30% better than C172 for example.
Let's see what else this aircraft capable for!

I just want to see Martin get in a DA40😊
Martin would need the option canopy. That option is suited for taller pilots.
If I could purchase a private aircraft it would be a Diamond Aircraft every time. They really are excellent aircraft and so refined. I would love the opportunity to fly one
Glad to hear that)
You've got to have deep pockets to buy a Diamond aircraft, even in a syndicate of 4-6 people it's pricey. and with up to 2 year waiting list.
A used Beech Bonanza equipped with G1000 etc. takes some beating costing a fraction of a new DA40 and the Bonanza also has 6 seats which only the DA62 has. It all depends upon what you want an aircraft for . . . .
Quoting Diamond prices from the dealer here :-
"As a rough guide, I can tell you that typically equipped prices new today are:
DA40NG €500,000
DA42-VI €950,000
DA50RG €1,000,000
DA62 €1,250,000
All plus the dreaded VAT!!! "
Note: VAT is 20% and €1.16 = £ 1.00 in the UK - DEC 2022
@@owenrosindell8956 This is correct, prices pretty high. But it's a market - if market demand more aircraft and people ready to pay - manufacturer will increase the price to reduce demand. Cirrus doing the same on US market...
@@About_Aviation Yes that is true, but the Maintenance costs are also sky high and an Austro engine replacement is quoted here in the UK at £ 60,000 with one year's leadtime and no allowance on the old engine. Last time an Austro engine was replaced in this DA40NG the owner paid €22,000 directly to Austro for a reconditioned unit and they delivered the engine to the Platinum dealer for fitting. Fitting charge was around £1,500. Now apparently Austro ONLY supply new engines and the price has TREBLED and leadtime 6 times longer. If this trend continues, they will "Kill the goose who lays the golden egg" Seriously though Private owners I work with here are questioning these exorbitant prices and could move away from Diamond which is a real shame as Diamond is IN MY OPINION THE BEST in GA
@@owenrosindell8956 The story pretty similar to Cirrus......))
Спасибо Андрей. Было интересно. И отдельная благодарность за простой понятный английский.

Nice to see you again:)
Спасибо. Как всегда 5 балов из 5!👍
Awesome video! Danke vielmals!
Андрей, благодарю! Как всегда супер!
I flew a DA40 twice, and each time I could not stall it. I tried five times. Sea level takeoff at 100+ degree F heat index (94 degree ambient). Tried power on, power off. Got a buffet, but no stall. The CFI who went up with me for checkout said, "yeah, it does that (no stall) most days."
Also, we had to push it down to land. A Cessna will fall out of the sky the moment you pull a little power. The DA40 had to be forced down. It is a glider with an engine. It caught any updraft. Not bad (arguably good), but definitely different. Landing was not difficult.
My wife won't like the stick between the legs, but hard to argue with performance.
DA40 отличный самолет. Летаю на DA40-180 в Торонто, попробовал NG осенью во Флориде - огромная разница! ❤ Спасибо за видео

Дзякуй!
Thanks for the video, It is really interesting to go into details with people from the company,. I hope you can do more videos like this of more than 1 hour, worth it. You bring new value to your videos, it is not just another video with the basic repetitive information.
Thanks a lot! new video is coming)
I completed my CPL training in Australia on DA40 Lycoming engines. I’ve loved every bit of it, for my instrument rating I trained on C172 and the major difference I found in between these two is how light the DA40 aircraft’s feel in terms on controls. Also seating in C172 feels congested where as in Diamonds you won’t feel like it. Further for my multi engine training I’ll be flying on DA42 VI Austro engines. These videos have been helpful for me for getting to know about the diff aircrafts and engines. Thank you for that. Cheers!
Thanks for your feedback, glad you enjoy it!
очень познавательное видео. посмотрел на одном дыхании. спасибо!
Спасибо!
Спасибо! Очень интересно! И красиво!
I never know that it is possible to use jet fuel in the diesel engine! Very interesting! Thank you so much for this interesting movie!
Welcome!
Wow, as a new pilot (PPL) this is one of the best video's going over the DA40NG. I'm pretty sure its between this and the P2010 TDI for me....as far as dream personal aircraft goes lol.
Thanks a lot!
Andrey, great videos as always! Just one question about the VFR conditions ~ ceiling, cloud clearance - in the US that would not be legal for sure. How these regs are different in EU in this regard? Thanks!
Are you sure it was VFR flight?)

Regardless of the superior safety characteristics and features built into every Diamond aircraft I still think every modern day airplane should be equipped with BRS. They do save lives and mistakes do happen.
Totally agree. I don't really understand what is the problem to install BRS to each GA single engine aircraft. I think it should be certification standard. ))
все супер, ждем такой же обзор по DA-42
В монтаже)
I want da42 review... good balance price-coast.
And thx for all.
In a couple of next videos.
The DA42 is similar to the DA40 except there is a bit more space in the cockpit but the layout is identical. OK you have 2 Engine master switches 2 x voter switches and other small differences like the Gear lever and the throttle lever is split for the two engines and also fuel tank crossover feed levers. The DA42 lands easier than the DA40 and handles on landing similar to a Cirrus i.e. 85kt on the approach with full flap 75kt over the fence and stalls at around 65kt. A great aircraft to buy if you have North of £1M in your back pocket. The DA40 is £ 550K and close to a 2 year waiting list I have been told. These are UK prices. Below are the speeds and fuel consumption PER ENGINE for a real world DA42 at 3000' flown recently. You can see that the SR22 is faster but burns much more fuel at 15-18GPH. Also the maintenance costs for a DA42 are high. One owner here recently paid £31K for an annual also including periodic overhaul of the two propellers, CSU's and other CAMO maintenance required etc. Notably at 40% power and 115Kt cruise, a DA42 will only consume 6.5GPH for both engines. A DA40 consuming the same fuel would cruise at aprox. 125Kt or 4.7GPH cruising at 115KT
Power 100% 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40%
Speed Kt 150 144 137 133 121 118 115
GPH - USG 7.5 6.6 5.8 5 4.3 3.8 3.2
As a tall guy myself, I’m curious how tall Martin is? Comfort and space is important.

Здравствуйте Андрей, я учусь на пилота и мне по программе надо изучать приборную панель garmin1000. Скажите пожалуйста, настолько ли она распространена во всем мире? Или в будущем надо будет летать на "будильниках"?
В большинстве чартерных и авиалиний будильников не осталось. Но это в развитых странах, а если попасть в африку или мелкие перевозки по островам - там и будильники есть. Хорошему пилоту должно быть абсолютно все равно на чем летать.
@@About_Aviation спасибо вам большое
how tall is the left seat gentleman? he looks rather cramped.
i love this plane. i wish they made a bigger version with the same flight character. wider, and way more leg room. that would be sweet.
chinese people are small , that is the problem, another reason to avoid chinese products, unless they correct the sizes to match the heavy people.
fantastic plane
what do you think about the pipistrel panthera?
I saw Panthera but didn’t fly yet. Will keep you posted)
@@About_Aviation factory tour of pipistrel would be also very interesting :)
great airplanes, an electric one is also available,never an issue with flutter.
Diamond DA40NG engine quality has decreased drastically after being bought by the Chinese Wangfeg Aviation. And has gotten ridiculously expensive for engine overhaul and maintenance.
Unsurprising.
Communist China is infamous for shoddy, tofu construction and cutting corners to extract maximum profits, with no regard for human lives, similar to Wall Street & listed companies.
Only trust your lives with companies dedicated to quality & safe engineering.
Excellent video. As a UK Flying instructor training pilots on DA40NG I now include this Video link as recommended watching for new pilots training for a Class rating on the DA40NG Some of the cruise speeds stated in the video are not realistic in practice. Just under 130kt is the norm but higher at altitude. Owners ask for 70% power to maintain engine life nobody is going to cruise at 92% To achieve better fuel consumption and range 92% power is best avoided at 9GPH measured consumption see below > > > >
Here's the speeds and fuel consumption I measured in a Diamond DA40NG UK registered in PRIVATE ownership at 3,000ft The MAXIMUM speed was 139kt at 95% power and 137kt at 92% power. At 10,000 ft or more, the speeds would be higher. I have also made the same measurements in a DA42 giving 5GPH per engine at 133kt at 70% power.
In a Cirrus SR20 I achieved 10GPH (avgas) at 140kt and 12GPH in an SR22 both lean of peak.
SR22 at 180kt and more 15 - 18 GPH (Avgas)
Power 100% 98% 95% 90% 85% 80% 75% 70%
Speed - Kt --- N/A 139 138.5 135 133 131 129
GPH 9.00 8.80 8.00 7.60 7.10 6.70 6.20
Power 65% 60% 55% 50% 45% 92% 72%
Speed - Kt 126 120 116 113 110 137 124
GPH 5.80 5.10 4.70 4.40 --- 8.3 6.4
Thank you very much! I appreciate your feedback.
From a maintenance point of view I agree with Owen’s comments about keeping the cruise power below 70%, it will save the owner substantial maintenance costs
I am curious about slowing down the DA-40 from 170kts to short approach speeds fast, as he mentions on the ILS approach 🤔
Gear down)
Vne is about 172. Max cruise is 154. Why the heck are you approaching the pattern at Vne? Bomb run? :)
👍
They are doing a lot of it right, started from gliders, composite structure and they made the herculean effort to develop new engines far more advanced than anything else in GA. However they should just have made small turbofan jet engines instead of piston diesels. They are much easier to make, 20x lighter and can easily fly double the speed or more with surprisingly good fuel economy. Turbofan engines just needs a pressurized cabin to take advantage of the thin air. What they have done is make expensive planes that can run on jetA, very little net advantage. If they made light jets it would have been a revolution. Without exaggeration. 300kg 4 seater, 700km/h cruise, better fuel economy than a cessna 172 and the engines last the life of the plane.
An Eclipse 550 twin jet has better fuel economy than a Baron 58 despite going twice the speed with a bigger cabin. Think about that.
We could literally have private jet freedom at LSA prices.
Also I think they should make the fuselage as 1 piece, not two sides. It might seem inconvenient but it's just so much better when set up, same with the wings. You might have to make the tail as separate pieces. Too difficult to lay up from the inside. Acceptable compromise I think. Easier to make that small joint instead of long seam all along the plane.
31:49 Gliders, better called sailpanes have a glide ratio well better than 40, But that does not make this airplane any worse, because the span dominates the glide ratio, the rest affecting L/D is secondary,
L/D=span √( ¼π×0.875/CdA)
CdA is the flat.plate drag area
Gliders have spans exceeding 26 meters, with room for just 2 tandem seats. The optimum glide IAS for gliders is correspondingly low, not adequate for power planes intended to cruise much faster.
Wonderful airplane, Lousy sitting position. I tried it and the seats are so low, that I could barely see over the console. Also, having to haul myself out of the airplane by the hand holds was a major inconvience. Those seats need to be adjustable. BTW, I'm of average height:5'9".
I'm 5' 5" and had to sit on a cushion to see over the dash. Agree with your sentiment.

Про неограниченный ресурс планера было интересно услышать, но все-таки две оговорочки присутствуют - "ничто не вечно" и проверка критических узлов через 6000 часов :) Кстати, как яхтсмен, я пластику не доверяю из-за его непредсказуемости после мелких повреждений - совсем недавно, меньше месяца назад, на гонке Golden Globe переломилась и затонула совершенно исправная яхта, многие мои знакомые яхтсмены мучаются с осмосом корпусов :( И многие яхтсмены-круизеры все-таки предпочитают сталь, даже не алюминий.
6000 это очень много. На большинстве обычных самолетов все тоже самое проверяют каждый год. не знаю, может быть в силу своего незнания я очень доверяю композитам и уверен что это будущее без вариантов. Металл уйдет из малой авиации так точно.
@@About_Aviation да, может быть, я здесь, в Ушуайе, наблюдал за ремонтом карбонового бушприта от гоночной яхты, познакомился с клеями и технологией. И полетал над краем Земли с пилотами из аэроклуба Ушуайи :) Об небо не стукнулись, за край не упали :))) У них, оказывается, хорошая и недорогая школа, доводят до CPL

get a tripod for your camera please. they cost from just about $20.
С европейскими ценами на 100LL цесна совсем не конкурент, если ротакса не хватает, то DA40 единственный вариант.
На цессну можно поставить continental cd-155. У школы у которой арендую самолет такая 172. С фадеком на jet-a1. Шикарный аппарат. Но тут уже вопрос сколько такой апгрейд стоить будет. А видел как и на piper-28 этот же движок ставят.
Но в некоторых местах есть и негатив jet-a1. В более крупных аэропортах заправка авгазом с самообслуживанием. А с jet-a1 на грузовике. И если заливаешь скажем меньше 60 литров, то иногда комиссия за грузовик есть.
@@Postelnikov Переделка на CD-155 примерно 85K стоит. Т.е. если есть самолёт под проект, с убитым двигателем, то можно подумать. Но 130 KTAS оно всё равно не полетит, и Гармин 1000 там не будет. Вобщем на рынке переодически такие светятся, хоть и нечасто, есть такой вариант, цена будет дешевле DA-40.
спасибо за цену. Не знал сколько, всегда интересно было. На 80% идет около 115-120. На том, что я летаю, стоит G3X как pfd и 750 навигация и интерком. Но при переделках таких выходит, что приближаешься к 150-200к. Наверное 40-ку бу можно найти.
@@Postelnikov 200 это оптимистично, со свежим двигателем скорее 300+, даймонд не новый стремиться к 400. А самому заморачиваться, это совсем надо быть в теме, я бы побоялся.
Sure, wish they would add a parachute. Why not? Safe or not. Lots of reasons a chute would be of a benefit.
I hope they will upgrade next models)

You did a mistake about the masses: payload mass is not useful mass! So you can take up to 4 people, yes. But without fuel.
With 4 people and ½ tanks you are on the limit assuming minimal luggage. This is taken from an ACTUAL W & B SPREADSHEET used in a real world DA40NG that I fly reqularly and use the spreadsheet before every flight so I know what the DA40 can carry . . . With 3 people 90KG each, minimal luggage and full tanks (28USG) you would be just about at the limit inside the envelope.
If you flew a DA40NG, you would have access to this spreadsheet or make your own using the data in the AFM
