It's a two place. Basically a powered glider. A good thing since I'm flying over water now. Fuel burn is about 4-5 GPH. 24 Gallons of usable fuel. 120 Knots
@tonynsx yea this really is just a powered glider and im not sure im a huge fan of that i can obviously see the advantages in certain situations but it almost seems like the engine was an afterthough
I wouldn't go as far as to say a powered glider. They do have excellent glide rations though. The wing was however derived from a glider wing. I always felt very safe in the DA40 I flew. I had confidence that wing would allow me to get to a safe landing spot.
There's always the lottery....thumbs up!

Well, It's not my personal aircraft. I just rent it for about 85/ hour. I guess a new one will be about 125,000 dollars

85 and hour! Wow, I wish mine was that cheap. I pay 118.
zseartcc25 3 years ago
Yeah 85 an hour sounds really good for a DA 40. I'm lucky though, my highschool is paying for 35 hours in a DA 20, and I'm lovin' it :)

She's a beautiful plane. Must have cost a bit though? I'm seriously considering applying for a PPL sometime in the near future.

Very nice! Won't you miss the extra seats or is that a four place?
