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.
Same!
Uh oh Diamond DA42 Crash in Pennsylvania May 2022 do UA-cam search DA 62 might be safer
@@davidboyle3032 All 3 on board survived a crash that flipped the airplane over, so I'd say it's a good outcome. Will be interesting to see the outcome of the investigation since this is something they should be able to handle. Engine failure on takeoff I guess?
Is there any reason to assume the DA62 would be much safer than the DA42 in this scenario? The 62 just seems to have more seats and to be a lot more expensive hehe
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".
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...
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.
Jeff, this is great feedback and thank you for sharing your experience! As someone who went through the decision and buying process for the DA62, your input is gold. We are so happy you are enjoying your DA62!

Jeffrey Brauer hi jeff. I like yourself and getting back into the flying game. I need to get current. I am considering this aircraft. Or a single engine turbo prop. Any comments or advice??
Hello Jeff, very interesting your points
I’m impressed with your determination to get back in the cockpit as PIC after so many years, your story is vey inspiring and I’m determined to do similar. Any advise where I can get current I’m in NC, if you want to fly in to Mt. Air NC 2NCO we have vacation house I will offer you few days free of any charge but a short flight in the DA62,
You can check our house on vrbo or Homeaway #330636 thanks Liviu M.
Me: I'm sold!
Also me: Do the kids REALLY need to go to college?
No, you are a bad parent to do that too them today!
Just buy it for P3D
@@Aseutester so they can be brainwashed into thinking safe spaces are ok? We need less computer nerds and more electricians and tradesman. Brains only go so far without the highly skilled technicians.
Christian Lemon They could start a business, they're young, plenty of time to make it cash flow successfully.
@@kitdaberserker555 That's what I meant. Screw the indoctrination centres!
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!
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
IMHO...this airplane the Diamond DA-62 is the best, most beautiful 4 seater prop driven airframe...STUNNING !!!!
A total show-stopper on the runway and in the sky! 😍✈️(And she seats up to 7, too!)
Agree!
Man, what a Sleek, Comfortable Beautiful Plane!!
We agree completely! Like riding your own luxury SUV through the sky! ✈️
@@LifeStyleAviation …..and paying the ‘luxury’ price to do it. I know you’ve heard it more than once…..awesome acft but out of reach for just about everyone. I need an acft that seats 5-6 people (wife, kids, grandkid, me) plus luggage. This acft meets all of those needs but at over $1 mil, the ‘average’ buyer can never get into this.
This will be my Christmas own gift by the end of 2021.Inshala.
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.
@Jerome S
PA-28-180, for the win!
Years 1968-1974 are best value for the money, in my humble opinion... can’t wait until I can afford one.
yeah, it's hard to imagine these ever depreciating much.. maybe when we all have anti gravity boots.
Why doesn’t the DA62 have counter-rotating props? Seems like with those reduction drives they could have done that fairly easily, especially considering how much thought was put into safety features...
@@stevenwg2360 - Yup! I wondered that, too! Since "Critical Engine" still remains,with Two Spinning the same way, left or right!
Robert Weekley I did some reading and a pilot that does in-flight shutdowns (not sure if simulated or actual) reports he gets a stall warning before losing directional control regardless of which engine is shut down. He says rudder forces are very similar in both. Read the last post of this thread:

You did a GREAT job explaining everything in a relatively short time!!
Thats aircraft good performance with engines, can short landing and take off
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.
Saw my first one yesterday in Ottawa at Rockliffe Airport,pretty sleek looking twin..beautiful
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!
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 !!
Wow... after listening to what you have said about that plane it is just incredible. I know the one accident that I seen on UA-cam 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
Awesome design and engineering! I love this aircraft! I have watched this video several times! Very Detailed and Informative!
The most beautiful plane in GA. I fell out of love with the Cessna 310 for this plane.
She's a complete showstopper! Thank you for watching!
I have long been considering a Cessna Cardinal, then I see this. I could just sit in front of this plane and cry looking at its beauty. This aircraft is beyond super sexy.
I've flown over 250 kinds of aircraft including about 5400 hrs in 310s, my very favorite plane!
@@karlrschneider - I'm jealous.
Incredible presentation! Great job! Cant wait to be in the position to get one of these!
great info video. hugely interesting what one can put into a small craft these days. well done!
We're so glad you found it helpful!! Happy flying!
Great, Great explanation and video... Thanks
nice video well done keep up the good work life style aviation a+
Fascinating! Great video! 💛🙏🏼
That’s a beautiful aircraft and just so much thought gone into the design. Great video !
@Dave Johnson We completely agree - it's unlike anything else in General Aviation! Thank you for watching!
This plane is the Lexus ES350 of the sky. Built to run 20 years like new with obvious safety, mechanical and physical quality...
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.
@Canuck Flying a plane that reduces the pilot workload like the DA62 is definitely a game changer!
Thank you for sharing this useful information.
A very nice presentation on the safest GA Twin in the world - a pure Masterpiece!
We're very happy you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching! :)
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.
Diamond in the sky. really enjoy your presentation. Thanks.
I saw this video total of 15 times. Every time I enjoyed it 100%.
Great insightful video.
@Rob M Thank you for watching! :)
Very informative video John.
Awesome and very informative video!
Outstanding presentation, love the 62: my favorite feature of this plane is ‘ALL THE ABOVE.’
Nice informative video. Well done.
We're so glad you enjoyed it!
Very nice. As an A&P I really appreciate the engineering effort focus on safe flight.
What a beautiful aircraft. I would love to own one. All I need are the winning numbers and then decide on a color. :)
Excellent job sir!
Great job John
I'll own one of these in a few years and use it for my businesses.
Great presentation, John! What a beautiful airplane. If I live long enough to wear out the Baron I'll definitely consider a DA62.
Thank you, Gene! Whenever you're ready to try the DA62, we're one call away! :)
A great video about an amazing design of a plane
Great video, John. Greetings from Fort Lauderdale.
Dare I say, the "perfect" twin engine airplane.
Safety and fuel efficiency.
I’d would be nice if it was faster, but you can’t have everything
@@Smokeyr67 Funny, a lot of Baron owners pull back on those throttles to save fuel. You don't need to on this beast.
@@UncleKennysPlace Faster is always better, but of course the airframe is the limit in this case (and most cases) , but I still want to go further and faster :)
The perfect twin engine piston i would say!
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.
Am placing an order..just because this fellow talked so well about it
We really appreciate you watching! We love making these videos for you guys!
Armstrong you are wonderful salesman. yes the aircraft Is great too
It is like a luxury airplane with full bounty equipment! Marvelous airplane.
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.
I red you comment i was like WHAT? then is saw SIM. 🤣
WOW, ... great plane, and really good and understandable presentation! Big like! :-)
Thank you! We're happy you enjoyed it!
THIS IS SUCH A AMAZING TECHNOLOGY IN AIRCRAFT INDUSTRY.
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.
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)?
Impressive...
We're happy you agree!
Wow...very impressive...nice run down and well spoken...looks like a super built plane...world keeps cutting corners....not here...
Lovely, I really like it!!!
We appreciate that, Ahmad!
@@LifeStyleAviation Thank you very much, I am right now studying my CPL on old and unsafe airplanes which are Cessna 172 and Piper Cherokee 28. I will switch for Diamond Flight Centre in Ontario as soon as I can and enjoy flying glass cockpit DA40 and DA 42.
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.
Classy !
I learned to fly in the rotax powered 1st generation DA and DV 20 aircraft. Kind of slow and didnt care for the summer heat here in the desert but great flying airplanes and fun to spin. I could 100 hr/annual them in about 6 hours. Those push rods are nice. Solid feeling controls. I loved them. I would love to fly one of these but had to let my medical expire 10 + years ago. Oh well. Thank you and be safe.
The DA20 is a great aircraft to learn in! We love hearing aviation stories...thank you for sharing :)
Google BasicMed.
@@UncleKennysPlace I cant do it yet. Still on Morphine and Oxycodone. Once I am off them I will go after my medical again. Until then I just get to watch videos and listen to the F-35s fly over the house. My IA expired as well because I was in the hospital instead of working and renewing all these things. So, I basically get to start over as I havent flown or spun a wrench in well over 10 years. That's ok. Other than learning glass cockpit systems and operation I am thinking it will all come back quickly. If I can get a job so I can pay for flying that is. I dont know of too many places that will hire a 62 year old with a busted up back and neck that hasnt worked in what is soon to be 11 years. Oh well. Be safe and have fun!
Thats the salesman everyone would like to have in his company! Top
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.
I hope they develop a cabin class twin someday
Loved!
Thank you so much for watching! :)
Love flying this plane in XP11, hope the one in MSFS2020 is even better and maybe includes that radar and synthetic vision.
I'm from the future and yes.
It's stunning to have this commercial airliner tech in a GA aircraft. radar! deicing inflight!
But I have tons of fun with the xcub which also has fully gps flight plans a baby could use it.
I am from further in the future and DA62 is my current fav plane in FS2020
I've wanted one since I first saw it.
And she flies just as good as she looks! :)
Well explained
when i win the super lotto i will buy 2
We'll be glad to help - you know where to find us! ;)
I can buy 10 of these planes a month😂
me too.......will keep one in europe and one in the U.S. (for starters)
Me too waiting for windfall.
Very nice and clever plane👍👍👍
We agree completely!
no doubt this plane is incredible ! love this type of engines.
I’m in love,Austria here I come ❤
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?
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!
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.
Love @ first flight
That's how we feel as well! Thanks for watching!
Such a cool airplane.
We agree completely 😍✈️
This is a damn good video and airplane.
Agree on both points. Been flying mine for about 50 hours now, and you cannot slap the grin off of my face.
Amazing aircraft
I like that one nice work
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."
She slays in all areas, even the looks department! 😍✈️
I love the airplane. This will be my second airplane after my Cirrus SR22 T.
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!!!!
At $1.25 mil, that would be some serious investment banking, assuming you also need a roof over your head and food on the table.
Also need to factor in the cost of the divorce.
Such a beautiful design, safer than the most is just dandy
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
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 🙃😉
And I thought cirrus having a parachute was the best, wow this is a beautiful aircraft
I like diamond philosophy of avoiding what causes a crash in the first place. Have redundancy and two engines with vortex generators on the leading edges should complement a knowledgeable pilot well and promote safe flying.
Absolutely beautiful plane! The stick however, was a deal breaker! Give the thing a side yoke and it is a winner!
You wouldn't like my PT-22. ;-)
@@karlrschneider You're correct! Apples and oranges.
Amazing! Still cant afford it though. 😭
Hope that the DA50 will retain all the nice features.
So they don't make that model yet?
@@Aseutester , it's in the process of being certified.
@@davidteen14 Is it a single Engine version?!
@@Aseutester , single engine high performance, it has the DA62 fuselage with a 300 hp Jet A engine. It will come in two variants, fixed and retractable gear. EASA certification is expected late this year.

I love this plane. Is one stuck with certain set colors? Mines gotta have some yellow! What is build and delivery time?
I love this plane. I am impressed and am considering a purchase.
Impressive.
Nice.
It’s a nice looking aircraft.
In terms of single engine operation the Rutan Boomerang is still top of the heap for safety. I always have considered it a shame there has only ever been one built.
Thanks for accurate commentary and nice videos!
I own a Malibu but am considering changing the model. I think the DA62 is the best aircraft.
from Japan.
We agree! :) Thank you for watching!
From Austria
Japan? The factory is in Europe. Austria (near Vienna)...
Built in Austria and London, Ontario.
@@CyrilDeretz I understand.
In Japan, there is an official agency called Alpha Aviation.
If I buy, I will buy from that agency.
In Japan, DA42 etc. are already imported and used for line pilot training.
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?
Yet to fly one in the real world, but it’s my favorite aircraft in msfs 2020 by far.
I like this kind of presentation that go into the details of the design & engineering, especially on a nice airplane like this one.
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.
