Technical Specifications, Trivia & Aviation Resources
In-depth operational references and airframe details for pilots preparing to command the Diamond DA40 NG.
Always perform the automated FADEC ECU run-up test prior to takeoff: press and hold the ECU TEST button while holding brakes; the engine will automatically cycle through ECU A and B checks and throttle to 1,900 RPM.
The DA40 NG runs on standard Jet-A1 kerosene instead of expensive 100LL aviation avgas, cutting operating fuel costs by up to 50%.
It has a single power lever: the computerized FADEC handles fuel injection, turbo boost, and propeller pitch automatically without any mixture knob.
Its glide ratio is an astonishing 14:1 – if the engine stops at 10,000 feet, you can glide without power for over 23 nautical miles (42 km)!
