The DA40 XLT is an all round practical and versatile multi-use four seat airplane for the 21st century. Combining the best qualities of its venerable predecessors, like the Cessna 172 Skyhawk and 182 Skylane, the DA40 XLT does it all, with a modern twist. Personal flying, instruction, cross country transportation, the DA40 XLT offers a unique blend of practicality, performance, and value. With a modern all composite airframe, proven Lycoming IO360 piston engine and the industry leading Garmin G1000, the DA40 XLT combines a blend of modern airframe and avionics with the venerable Lycoming IO360, arguably the most reliable AVGAS engine of all time.

Private owners will delight in the performance, handling, high quality finish, luxurious interior, thoughtful details and comfort features that make the DA40 such a pleasure to fly. Commercial operators and leaseback owners will appreciate the ramp appeal, the reliability and low overall lifecycle cost. With nearly 2,000 Diamond DA40’s in worldwide service today, many in high utilization commercial operations, the DA40 fleet is proving its durability and safety, day in and day out, every day. The DA40 XLT is the ultimate development of this popular single, incorporating the experience gained in several million hours of operation and years of service under the harshest of conditions.

While it cannot match the absolute fuel efficiency and economy of its Austro powered stablemates, the DA40 XLT’s aerodynamically efficient airframe extracts a level of performance out of its 180hp Lycoming engine, normally associated with higher horsepower. For those seeking fuel efficiency, value and a blend of modern airframe and avionics with conventional power, the DA40 XLT is the perfect choice.
