Have your baggage safely stowed in the baggage compartment
Garmin’s Synthetic Vision Technology (SVT™) recreates a visual topographic landscape from the G1000 system’s terrain-alerting database. The resulting virtual reality display offers pilots a supplemental 3-D depiction of ground and water features, airports, obstacles and traffic — all shown in relative proximity to the aircraft. This makes situational orientation far easier and less stressful.
A proven TKS ice protection system helps the DA42-VI to withstand flight into known icing conditions. Wings, tail, propellers and windshield are protected with TKS fluid.
Sleek all carbon airframe
The sleek all carbon composite airframe incorporates advanced aerodynamics with the latest in passive safety technology for high performance, great efficiency and superior occupant protection. The composite airframe is durable, easily maintained and will keep looking great for many years to come.
The DA42 offers exceptional visibility thanks to its panoramic wrap around canopy and generous rear windows. Comfortable access for all on board is assured through the forward swinging canopy and large rear door that provides access to the folding rear seats and fuselage baggage area.
