Flying the DA62 is Every Pilot’s Dream
The Diamond DA62 moves more passengers and equipment further and faster than anything else in its class, with exceptional fuel efficiency, luxury, and the security of two engines. With cruise speeds over 180 knots, fuel burns of just 11–12 gallons per hour, and the latest Garmin G1000 NXi avionics, the DA62 delivers performance and technology that feels like it belongs in a much larger aircraft.
Add in a spacious 7-seat cabin, premium finishes, and one of the strongest safety records in general aviation, and it’s easy to see why so many pilots call the DA62 the ultimate modern piston twin.

What Makes the DA62 the Safest Twin-Engine Aircraft?
Designed with redundancy, crashworthiness, and pilot-friendly systems, the Diamond DA62 delivers unmatched confidence in the air.
From its composite structure and twin Austro engines to advanced Garmin avionics, every feature is engineered to minimize risk and protect what matters most.
DA62 vs SR22T: How the Two Aircraft Compare
Both the Diamond DA62 and Cirrus SR22T deliver speed, comfort, and modern avionics, but they’re built for different missions.
The DA62 offers twin-engine safety, seating for up to seven, and remarkable fuel efficiency, while the SR22T shines as a high-performance single favored by owner-pilots.
Taking Delivery of a Brand New Diamond DA62
Freedom. Innovation. Legacy. They're not just words — they are what aviation means for Michael and Lisa MacFadden, their two sons, and their choice to take delivery of a brand new airplane: the Diamond DA62.

Design and Comfort
The Diamond DA62 is built to make every trip a pleasure, for both pilots and passengers. The cabin feels open and inviting, with adjustable front seats, a smart 60/40 folding second row, and an optional third row so there’s room for everyone. Inside, you can choose from premium interior styles and materials, accented by soft LED lighting and the comfort of optional air conditioning.
On the outside, the DA62 makes a statement. Pick from factory colors like ruby red, carbon, gold, sapphire blue, and glossy white, or design a custom finish that’s entirely your own.
Safety Record and Features
Diamond's industry-leading safety record is the result of our commitment to protecting you and your passengers with a long list of active and passive safety features.
Active safety features help to avoid accidents in the first place, the first and most important line of defense. Passive safety features are designed to minimize the probability and degree of injury, just in case the unexpected happens.
The DA62 offers the ultimate in handling, stability and control, ease of operation as well as structural, system and propulsion redundancies, all coupled with a high degree of crashworthiness.
Propulsion and Avionics
The DA62 series is powered by the Austro Engine 180hp AE330 with single power lever control.
The 3 blade MT hydraulic constant speed propellers feature advanced blade geometry for efficient performance, smoothness and low noise. Automatically controlled by each engine’s digital engine control – feathering is as simple as flipping a single switch.
The fully integrated Garmin G1000NXi is complemented by a long list of avionics options to perfectly suit your mission, such as an integrated weather radar and Synthetic Vision.

Frequently Asked Questions
The DA62 is impressively efficient for a twin. At cruise it burns around 11–12 gallons per hour total, giving you over 1,200 nm of range. Push it harder and you’ll see about 17–18 gph at top cruise speeds.
Yes. If one engine fails, the DA62 can still climb slowly at lower altitudes and hold altitude up to around 11,000–13,000 ft, depending on weight. The FADEC system makes engine-out handling simple and stable
No — the DA62 isn’t pressurized. It can fly up to 20,000 ft, but pilots and passengers use oxygen above about 12,000 ft.
It’s powered by two 180-hp Austro AE330 turbo-diesels that run on Jet-A. With FADEC and single-lever power controls, they’re simple to manage and sip far less fuel than typical avgas twins.
Every DA62 has the Garmin G1000 NXi suite with dual displays, a GFC700 autopilot, and envelope protection. Options include Synthetic Vision, weather radar, datalink, and traffic systems.
Yes. The entire airframe is carbon fiber, which means a smooth, efficient design that’s strong, light, and resistant to corrosion.
Yes, when equipped with the optional TKS system. It’s FIKI certified (Flight Into Known Icing), letting you dispatch legally into icing conditions.
Twin engines, full FADEC, envelope protection, crashworthy composite cabin, and redundant systems give the DA62 one of the best safety records in piston aviation.
Both cruise around 180 knots on about 18 gph, but the DA62 offers two engines, seven seats, and more payload. The Cirrus counters with a parachute and lower cost.
The DA62 is more modern and far more efficient. Expect similar cruise speeds to a Baron but on about half the fuel burn, plus a factory Garmin panel and composite build.
