2011 Diamond DA40 XLS

Description

This 2011 Diamond DA40 XLS (registration ZK-TTC) is a sharply presented, Garmin G1000-equipped example of Diamond's popular four-seat composite tourer. With its Lycoming IO-360 overhauled in July 2023 and 734 hours since overhaul against a 2,200-hour TBO, plus a Power Flow tuned exhaust and the Garmin GFC 700 digital autopilot, it presents outstanding value in a modern glass-cockpit aircraft.

The DA40 combines the safety of a carbon-fibre composite airframe and outstanding cockpit visibility with docile, forgiving handling. The fully integrated Garmin G1000 flight deck features dual displays, GPS/NAV/COM, engine and fuel monitoring and the GFC 700 digital autopilot, complemented by a Garmin GDL 69 datalink and GTX Mode S transponder. In active service and maintained to the manufacturer's maintenance program by the New Zealand International Commercial Pilot Academy (NZICPA), it is ideally suited to private touring, IFR training or flying school operations.
