DPA board member and MEI CFI Trevor John Moody recently met with Diamond Aircraft and Take Flight Aviation to learn about the recently introduced Diamond Brilliance training program.

After five years as a first-time owner, I learned the hard way that the Piston Power “Tip-to-Tail” is not the comprehensive coverage it sounds like: only specific listed items are covered, rates rise unilaterally every year, and you forfeit your entire engine-overhaul account balance if you don’t renew (even when the prices go up and the coverage level drops). I wish I’d had an attorney and mechanic review the contract first. Read my review on the Diamond Pilots Association website to avoid making the same mistake.
Diamond Aircraft/Austro Engines recently unveiled a new device designed specifically for the Austro Engines and the Electronic Control Unit. I have installed it in my

The DA20 (all models) and specific models of the DA40-180 certified for MTOW of 1150 kg (2,535 lbs.) can be flown by pilots using Sport Pilot privileges under the new MOSAIC rules, beginning October 22, 2025.

The Garmin G1000 is the heart of most Diamond Aircraft, particularly if you are flying IFR. The NXi version of the G1000 is even more sophisticated with additional features. In many respects it is overwhelming and rivals (and, in some respects, exceeds) the capabilities found on modern airline transport and business jet aircraft.
To fully understand the capabilities of this avionics package while safely on the ground and not burning fuel, a desktop simulator complete with replica displays and controls is a helpful training aid. With the computing power available today, their graphic cards, both off-the-shelf and unique software, and a G1000 hardware replica, a powerful training aid can be created to learn and practice the features of the G1000 and the NXi version.
For a number of years Lycoming shipped the M-series engines (including the above engine found in most Lycoming DA40s) with the wrong dipstick.
