The Diamond DA40 family includes several engine and equipment configurations under the DA40 type. The DA 40 and DA 40 NG use different engine installations and can have different weight and balance applicability.
Diamond Aircraft DA40 overview
The DA40 is a modern four-seat composite single-engine aircraft family. The base DA 40 type entered production around 2000, while the DA 40 NG represents the Austro Engine-powered generation introduced in 2010.
Marketing names and engine variants should not be treated as interchangeable without checking the exact aircraft documentation.

How to identify the correct DA40 model
Use the exact model and engine configuration shown in the aircraft records. The base DA40 type dates from around 2000, while the DA40 NG was introduced in 2010.
Serial number, AFM revision and installed equipment remain important for final calculator applicability.
DA40 model differences
Model variants within the same aircraft family can differ in engine installation, maximum weight, fuel system, loading stations, baggage limits and center-of-gravity envelope. Check the limits and loading data for the exact aircraft model and configuration.
Diamond Aircraft DA40 weight and balance
DA40 variants can differ in engine weight, fuel system, maximum weight, loading limits and CG envelope. Use the calculator corresponding to the exact model and configuration.
Always use the current aircraft-specific empty weight and moment or arm from the latest weight and balance record.
