Today’s Top Pick is a 2022 Diamond DA40 NG.

While the Diamond DA40 marked a modern, high-tech departure for training aircraft when it began making its way into flight school fleets 25 years ago, it has since become a familiar fixture. Like its spiritual ancestors, the Cessna 172 and Piper PA-28, the DA40 has demonstrated its capabilities as both a trainer and a practical, capable personal aircraft.

The NG model, like the aircraft for sale today, is the most desirable version of the DA40 because of its automotive turbo-diesel engine and aerodynamic tweaks that allow it to fly faster than 172s and PA-28s while burning less fuel. Indeed, the DA40 NG can keep up with quite a few high-performance legacy piston singles. More obvious is the appeal of its modern design, both inside and out, which stands in sharp contrast to the many 40- to 60 year-old antique four-seaters on the used market.

This 2022 Diamond DA40 NG has 155 hours on the airframe and its Austro AE 300 engine. The aircraft is equipped with luxury and convenience features including air conditioning and electrically adjustable rudder pedals.

The IFR panel includes a Garmin GMA 1360 digital audio system, dual Garmin GDU 1050 10-inch displays for PFD and MFD, synthetic vision, GRS 79 AHRS, Garmin GTX 335R remote transponder, ADS-B In and Out, GEA 71B airframe engine interface unit, GDC 72 digital air data computer, GMU 44 magnetometer, and GFC 700 autopilot.

Pilots who want a modern, fuel-efficient design built with contemporary methods and materials should consider this 2022 Diamond DA40 NG, which is available for $630,000 on AircraftForSale.
