Diamond DA62

The Diamond DA62 is a five- to seven-seat, twin-engine light aircraft produced by Diamond Aircraft Industries and first announced in March 2012. It began as the DA52, and the first prototype flew in April 2012 after about six months of development. In June 2014 the production aircraft was redesignated the DA62. European Aviation Safety Agency certification was granted in April 2015 and Federal Aviation Administration certification followed in February 2016. The aircraft is marketed as offering twin power with single-engine simplicity, and 273 had been delivered through early 2024. It sits in the light general aviation segment, serving owners and operators who want two engines in a compact cabin that can be configured for up to seven occupants.
