If you want to be an airline pilot, train like
one. Turbine smooth single lever powerplants, a
fully integrated glass cockpit all in an
efficient low drag airframe that’s got serious
ramp appeal.
Nowhere else will you find THREE TwinStars and the exclusive Diamond Elite Simulator for your Training Needs!
Fly fast with the confidence of a twin for the same cost as a single Go direct over water or rugged terrain, and cover great distances without the need to refuel. The world’s first and only piston aircraft with an advanced airframe, avionics and engines gives you options like you’ve never had before. Seriously capable and fully IFR equipped with the Garmin G1000 and known ice protection Go where you want, when you want, Fast – and for less.
Go far – fast – or throttle back and go VERY far. The extreme fuel efficiency at part throttle means that typical flights with one stop become non-stop flights. This efficiency gives you more options (range and endurance) if your destination shuts down.
- Standard Garmin G1000 Glass Cockpit and autopilot
- Jet fuel turbo-diesel power
- Simple, single lever FADEC operation
- Incredibly low fuel burn
- Ruggedly built
- Optional oxygen and known ice
- Optional ADF/DME

The interior of the Twin Star rivals that of a
luxury car – leather seats and a spacious
comfortable cabin give you and your passengers
a relaxing, enjoyable ride. The cavernous 4 way
baggage compartment is complemented by the
generous nose baggage area that is large enough
to carry two sets of golf clubs.
Go anywhere capability with incredible range.
Diamond’s obsession with safety is embodied in the design of the DA42. The Twin Star is the undisputed technology leader – not for the sake of technology, but for the sake of your comfort and safety, ease of operation and efficiency.

It offers the ultimate in redundancy – damage
tolerant, fail-safe all carbon airframe;
completely redundant electrical system and
power sources; redundant flight instrumentation
and of course, twin engines with convenient
single lever powerplant control.
The simple operation, smoothness and quietness
of the powerplants results in significantly
reduced pilot fatigue. The FADEC controlled
engines take the
guesswork out of proper powerplant management.
The dual power levers offer jet-like thrust control and easy single engine procedures. With controlled liquid
cooling and Vne landing gear extension speeds, high speed descents become routine.

Introducing the most advanced, fully integrated
and intuitive avionics package featuring
the Garmin G1000
system. Large XGA, high-resolution
monitors display all flight critical data.
Flight instrumentation, engine
performance, weather, terrain, traffic and
airspace awareness are integrated and
graphically overlaid with precise GPS
position, course and flight plan. You can
even listen to XM Satellite radio.
The Garmin GDU 1040/1045 is the standard control/display platform for the G1000’s primary flight display (PFD) and multi-function display (MFD). Powered by an X-scale microprocessor, the unit features a high-performance graphics accelerator for superior 3D rendering. It’s also equipped with an infrared port to accommodate data entry via handheld Garmin PDAs.
A choice of display formats allows pilots to select the attitude/heading presentation they prefer on the G1000 PFD. Current format options include standard HSI mode or segmented arc mode.
