Diamond Star DA-40
The DA40 is a low-wing cantilever monoplane made from composite materials. It has a fixed tricycle landing gear and a T-tail. Its sleek design maximizes airflow over its foils. The byproduct of this is up to a 30% increase in cruising speed compared to its counterparts with 180hp engines. N65LY is equipped with Aspen E5 avionics and an Avidyne GPS with Jepp charts built-in. If you are looking to start your instrument training, commercial training, or just want to time build this is the airplane for you!
The DA40 is based out of Lewis University Airport. Please contact us for pricing details on this aircraft.
