What Makes the DA62 the SAFEST Twin-Engine Aircraft? | DIAMOND AIRCRAFT SAFETY SPECS 

I was down in Durham, NC last summer on business and we got a chance to check out this very DA62 after a demo flight in the DA40NG with the blue stripes. Stunning plane. Even more beautiful and luxurious in the metal! Great people at LifeStyle Aviation. Thanks again Sam!

My dream plane is DA 42 or 62. Maybe in a decade or so I can work my way up to one. Simplified run-up and checklist procedures. Don't have to worry about shock cooling. Twin engine security, ultra high efficiency for a twin, all the safety engineered into the plane at every stage as discussed.

Man, what a Sleek, Comfortable Beautiful Plane!!

Great video - love your explanation and presentation. I got my PPL and received instrument and commercial training (but no tickets, ran out of money!!!) over twenty-five years ago, way before GPS and all fancy stuff in the cockpit. Coming back to GA and seeing the advances in tech, holy crap!!! That cockpit is freaking beautiful! I've never seen this aircraft before until I saw the stunning presentation last year that Microsoft showed when they announced their simulator. I didn't know it was a real aircraft. THIS right here! This is the plane to buy if I had such sums of money. Well worth it. Perhaps in the next life...

I've watched a couple of the lifestyle aviation's videos and I have come to one major conclusion. They aren't doing a safety review or any reviews of the DA62's, they're doing full on sales pitches. Pure and simple. In Australia they would have to have a banner along the bottom, "THIS IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT".

Me: I'm sold! Also me: Do the kids REALLY need to go to college?

You did a GREAT job explaining everything in a relatively short time!!

Awesome design and engineering! I love this aircraft! I have watched this video several times! Very Detailed and Informative!

John has sold me on Personal aviation with this safety presentation. I'm blown away by how advanced aviation has come in the past 20 years. Diamond is where it's at. Instant subscriber! Done!

IMHO...this airplane the Diamond DA-62 is the best, most beautiful 4 seater prop driven airframe...STUNNING !!!!

This will be my Christmas own gift by the end of 2021.Inshala.

Thank you. This video was the most thorough breakdown of what makes the DA62 the safe plane that it is. I learned about a few features I was unaware of.

I always thought the da62 was overpriced but after seeing all the precise engineering that went into it, which prioritizes safety above all, now i know why its price. Y’all have to remember that this plane was built from scratch whereas planes like the cessna, beechcraft, piper… are all based in 30,40,50 yr old designs. If I could afford the diamond I would definitely buy it

That’s a beautiful aircraft and just so much thought gone into the design. Great video !

I saw this video total of 15 times. Every time I enjoyed it 100%.

Incredible presentation! Great job! Cant wait to be in the position to get one of these!

The most beautiful plane in GA. I fell out of love with the Cessna 310 for this plane.

It seems social media has allowed everyone to be an "expert" on everything. Planes are no exception. I read some the negative comments about the DA62 and shake my head or even laugh. I wonder if the naysayers have any actual experience, other than maybe Flight Simulator, with the DA62. I simply want to pass on our first hand experience with the airplane in hopes that I can clear up some misperceptions. This is all my opinion and as they say "Everybody has one!" The only difference is that in this case I have first hand knowledge as the proud owner and pilot of a DA62. We are fortunate enough to own and fly our own DA62. It's an amazing aircraft in everyway. After not flying for 24 years, I got back into the pilot game in 2018. I originally got my PPL/ME/IFR back in the 80's and stopped in 1994 as our business grew and needed more of my time. After again getting current in 2018, we decided to get a new, or newer, twin and checked them all. There was no comparison between the DA62 and the other options on the market. It wasn't even close for us! All the options were relatively close in price so it came down to capabilities, comfort, safety, and support. Capabilities - The DA62 is new, modern technology based upon a clean sheet design. Look at it! It's 21st century in every way! All the competitors are old school designs that have been updated with modern glass avionics. Think 1975 Cutlass with digital dash. The DA62 flies at about the same speed, (mid 180 knots) with about the same load (4 people with bags & full fuel), 4.5 hours range (plus reserve), but at half the fuel burn (9 GPH per side)! Comfort is a very personal and subjective thing. My family prefers forward seating so the DA62 was their favorite. It's about the same size interior as the others and the seating is ultra comfortable. If we need to we can actually carry 7 total people! Even the A/C is modern. It's fully electric and operates from it's own dedicated alternator. It does not have to be shut off for airport operations like all of the competitors since it does not decrease engine power in this critical phase of flight. That may not sound like a big deal, but passengers (and pilots) hate it when you need to shut off the A/C while in hot weather and you're down low in the high temperatures when taking off or landing? Seems kind of counter-productive to me... All the safety features in the video are true and were very important in our decision. In addition, until you operate the diesel engines you can't understand how smooth and turbine-like they are. They start like you're turning on an electric motor. There is no ignition system so there's no popping and bumping as they fire up. There is no leaning or prop controls. In turbulence it's rock solid and in any flight condition it's confidence inspiring for passengers and pilot alike. Support has been fantastic! Our local A&P went to Diamond school near Toronto to get certified so he takes care of the plane right at our home base. We've only had a few minor "new plane" issues, all of which were quickly resolved and didn't result in any downtime. The complete annual was under $3,000 which was our only expense other than fuel, oil change, oxygen, and TKS fluid. With over 150 flight hours so far, I can say that support has been super! Finally, if you're fortunate enough to be in a position to consider this class of aircraft, call John at Lifestyle and take a test flight. Everyone there is a true professional that wants to help you all the way through the investigation and decision making process. They've certainly earned our trust.

Sir YOU are one hell of a FANTASTIC salesman. I'm not a pilot yet but hope to start working toward that, and you have given me the inspiration to get it done so I can purchase a DA62. Heck your so good I almost want to buy 2 of them if I could afford it. Thank you so much for a Great review. WOW !!

Diamond in the sky. really enjoy your presentation. Thanks.

great info video. hugely interesting what one can put into a small craft these days. well done!

Great, Great explanation and video... Thanks

Very impressed with the level of safety features in this aircraft. It must be one that I should consider. I like the commitment to safety and ease for pilots. It is stressful having to monitor everything and adjust with typical traditional aircraft.

I have no doubt in my mind this is the most technically advanced aircraft for it’s time and it looks great too, hands down my favourite thanks Diamond.

Fascinating! Great video! 💛🙏🏼

This plane is the Lexus ES350 of the sky. Built to run 20 years like new with obvious safety, mechanical and physical quality...

My favourite feature of this plane is the price😁. I can never afford it so I will continue looking for a C-172 or PA-180. Nice bird though.

Very informative video John.

Thank you for sharing this useful information.

Dare I say, the "perfect" twin engine airplane. Safety and fuel efficiency.

nice video well done keep up the good work life style aviation a+

Great job John

Awesome and very informative video!

Wow... after listening to what you have said about that plane it is just incredible. I know the one accident that I seen on RU-vid talked about instructor and student pilot took the plane out of its parameters that caused their fatal crash. But what I seen of the pictures the plane was still fairly intact and recognizable as a diamond

Armstrong you are wonderful salesman. yes the aircraft Is great too

Outstanding presentation, love the 62: my favorite feature of this plane is ‘ALL THE ABOVE.’

Saw my first one yesterday in Ottawa at Rockliffe Airport,pretty sleek looking twin..beautiful

A very nice presentation on the safest GA Twin in the world - a pure Masterpiece!

Very nice. As an A&P I really appreciate the engineering effort focus on safe flight.

Thats the salesman everyone would like to have in his company! Top

no doubt this plane is incredible ! love this type of engines.

I'll own one of these in a few years and use it for my businesses.

It is like a luxury airplane with full bounty equipment! Marvelous airplane.

Excellent job sir!

What a beautiful aircraft. I would love to own one. All I need are the winning numbers and then decide on a color. :)

What a bird, I'm in Love with Diamond 😍 My dream is to have one of these in about 2 years🙏😊 Great video and explanation without noisy music.

Great insightful video.

Great presentation, John! What a beautiful airplane. If I live long enough to wear out the Baron I'll definitely consider a DA62.

THIS IS SUCH A AMAZING TECHNOLOGY IN AIRCRAFT INDUSTRY.

when i win the super lotto i will buy 2

A great video about an amazing design of a plane

Great video, John. Greetings from Fort Lauderdale.

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

I hope they develop a cabin class twin someday

Wow...very impressive...nice run down and well spoken...looks like a super built plane...world keeps cutting corners....not here...

I’m in love,Austria here I come ❤

Nice informative video. Well done.

It's stunning I'm buying one. The only snag I need them 6 lotto numbers to line up for me then I'm off to buy one.

Amazing aircraft

Loved!

Very nice bird. I'm curious to know whether the "over-built" trailing link landing gear system (mentioned at 8:33) allows the DA 62 to operate on fairly rough unpaved grass and gravel strips (e.g. in the way the Pilatus PC12 can with its similar system)?

Hi love your videos! Could you all please do a video on the luggage capacity of Diamond Aircrafts? How many regular sized suitcases can it take, especially in the front compartment?

I love this plane. I am impressed and am considering a purchase.

I love the airplane. This will be my second airplane after my Cirrus SR22 T.

Such a beautiful design, safer than the most is just dandy

WOW, ... great plane, and really good and understandable presentation! Big like! :-)

Amazing! Still cant afford it though. 😭

I've wanted one since I first saw it.

Am placing an order..just because this fellow talked so well about it

Love flying this plane in XP11, hope the one in MSFS2020 is even better and maybe includes that radar and synthetic vision.

Not quite a 310 or an AzTruck, but damn.... she's gorgeous. As the early av engineers used to say, "if it looks good, it'll fly good."

Well explained

What an aircraft!

Lovely, I really like it!!!

Such a cool airplane.

It looks nice in the air, I've seen it flying up the FL coast in pairs one evening. I want one, but...I'm poor. My be should consider Investment banking!!!!

I'm the son of a C-130, P-3, and retired B777 captain and line check airman. Aviation was always a part of my upbringing and I feel very lucky. My dad has a C172 we've flown from Chicago to Austin and Daytona Beach. I've been watching lots of youtube videos about various small planes and I like this one the most. The only question I have is does the company offer a Garmin 3000 option? Just dreaming to buy my dad a nice plane in his retirement. I like this and the Panthera.

Hope that the DA50 will retain all the nice features.

Very nice and clever plane👍👍👍

Impressive...

I love flying this plane. I've only crashed a few times and walked away each time. Then I just hit restart in the sim.

Love @ first flight

Nice.

I fly the 42NG as a cfi. I wish they would put counter props, make the stick more ergonomic and re design those trash rudder pedals

6:07 , the lake looks very familiar, guessed it was Canandaigua Lake, took a look at a satellite map and matched it up against the notched field just to the right, that is right over Hicks Point, NY.

I love this plane. Is one stuck with certain set colors? Mines gotta have some yellow! What is build and delivery time?

And I thought cirrus having a parachute was the best, wow this is a beautiful aircraft

Impressive.

It’s a nice looking aircraft.

This is cool.

I love this plane!! 😎🤓

I like that one nice work

I love the DA 62 it has commercial flying technology and safety features. I know it can land on grass can it land in rougher terrain like the Pilatus PC 12?

This is a damn good video and airplane.

Good sefty features.... Nice desgine... How much it cost ..& How much the fuel burn ? 👌

I was just going to mention that I really loved the fact that the DA62 has a restroom onboard during flights. Until I found out after we landed that I crapped in one of the passenger seats.

Nice aircraft. Always been a fan of Diamond. However if I was in the market for a owner/pilot aircraft in this price bracket. I’d be looking at a Cirrus SF50. Might not have two motors (which are not always an advantage), but it does have CAPS. Something that would give some people piece of mind, especially with precious family on board.

Yet to fly one in the real world, but it’s my favorite aircraft in msfs 2020 by far.

very nice airplane

I was considering a kodiak or pc 12.. happy to give this a run for= our first family air craft! Hopefully we can run 5his on our tractor diesel fuel 🙃😉
