The New Generation Diamond Star (DA40NG) is a most modern IFR training platform and the perfect cross-country touring machine. It performs much better than the older Centurion (Thielert) diesel engines and boasts not only Garmin G1000 but also the integrated Garmin GFC700 autopilot along with a Stormscope, Synthetic Vision Technology, Jeppesen ChartView and other goodies — all features greatly appreciated by pilots wanting more performance and utility, and practically a must in today’s professional pilot training. Aviation Consumer (Jan-2012) revealed how the DA40 has by far been the safest aircraft type in its category!
