See with Pro

Pro feature. Available on your Jet Tracker account.

Manufacturer-published distances at sea level, ISA and reference weight. Not corrected for altitude, temperature, wind or runway condition, takeoff included. Uses the declared LDA as a proxy for effective runway length (RBAC 135.361) and the most favourable threshold in calm air (135.385(b)(1)): on the day, wind may force the shorter threshold. Destination only: does not assess the alternate aerodrome (135.387). Not a substitute for the AFM or the operator's performance analysis. Rule: RBAC 135.385 and 135.398; private flying (RBAC 91) is not factored. Runways: declared distance (LDA) from AISWEB/DECEA (2026-09-05), checkable on each aerodrome chart; where DECEA publishes no declared distance, physical length from OurAirports is used.

History

  1. 1997 - Do prototipo de 1997 a um dos GA mais produzidos da Europa

    O DA40 voou pela primeira vez em 5 de novembro de 1997 e entrou em producao em serie por volta de 2000. Construido em compositos na Austria e no Canada, tornou-se um dos monomotores leves mais bem-sucedidos da Diamond: cerca de 2.200 unidades ate o fim de 2020, incluindo 500 da versao NG a diesel.

Brazil Fleet

Monomotor de treinamento e uso pessoal; versao NG a diesel.

O Diamond DA40 e um monomotor a pistao de 4 lugares em composito, referencia de seguranca na aviacao geral (um dos menores indices de acidente fatal do segmento). A versao atual NG usa o diesel Austro AE300 (Jet-A) com FADEC de manete unica e Garmin G1000 NXi, consumindo cerca de 5 a 6 galoes por hora, vantagem grande no Brasil onde a avgas e cara e escassa. Recebeu certificacao da ANAC em 2010 e ja aparece no RAB brasileiro. Mercado: NG usado entre US$ 0,49 e 0,70 milhao; versoes a avgas (2000-2009) entre US$ 0,2 e 0,4 milhao; nova a partir de cerca de US$ 0,75 milhao.

Curiosities and highlights

Benefits

Diesel Jet-A1 com consumo de cerca de 5 galoes por hora

O DA40 NG usa o motor Austro AE300, um diesel turbo de 2,0 litros que roda com Jet-A1. Em cruzeiro a 60 por cento de potencia consome cerca de 19 litros por hora (aprox. 5 galoes), bem menos que os 8 a 10 galoes de avgas da versao Lycoming. No Brasil, onde a avgas e cara e escassa, isso reduz custo e amplia o raio.

2010↗ Diamond Aircraft

Reputacao de seguranca entre as melhores da aviacao geral

A celula em composito, o T-tail e o comportamento docil em estol dao ao DA40 um dos menores indices de acidentes fatais da aviacao geral. Isso ajuda a explicar por que escolas de voo e academias militares (como a da Forca Aerea dos EUA) o adotaram como treinador.

↗ Wikipedia

Limitations

Quatro lugares no papel, com pesos e bagagem que pedem atencao

O DA40 NG e certificado para 4 ocupantes, mas a carga util de cerca de 407 kg significa que com quatro adultos e bagagem a autonomia de combustivel cai. A bagagem padrao atras dos bancos e limitada a 30 kg (ate 45 kg com a extensao opcional), entao planejar peso e balanceamento e essencial.

Curiosities

G1000 NXi e motor de manete unica (FADEC)

O DA40 NG vem com o cockpit de vidro Garmin G1000 NXi, com piloto automatico GFC 700 e visao sintetica disponiveis. O diesel AE300 e controlado por FADEC de alavanca unica: nao ha mistura nem passo da helice para ajustar. Isso reduz muito a carga de trabalho, ideal para aluno solo e operacao monopiloto.
