Diamond Aircraft DA 42 M-NG history and development
EASA records a certification application date of November 12, 2008 for the DA 42 M-NG.
Diamond Aircraft DA 42 M-NG model applicability and configuration
The M-NG is particularly configuration-sensitive because mission equipment, external installations and approved design changes can significantly alter loading and center-of-gravity applicability.
For that reason this encyclopedia page does not assign one universal fuel, baggage or weight-and-balance loading scheme to every DA 42 M-NG.
Diamond Aircraft DA 42 M-NG weight and balance
Weight-and-balance limits for DA 42 M-NG aircraft depend on the installed mission and design-change configuration. Use the current aircraft-specific AFM, supplements, equipment list and weight-and-balance record.
WBcalc does not currently provide a DA 42 M-NG calculator.
Diamond Aircraft DA 42 M-NG frequently asked questions
What engines does the Diamond DA42 M-NG use?
EASA identifies two Austro Engine E4-family turbo-diesel engines for the DA 42 M-NG.
Is the DA42 M-NG the same as the DA42 NG?
No. The DA 42 M-NG is a separately certificated mission-capable model with provisions for mission equipment installations.
Why is there no single DA42 M-NG weight and balance configuration here?
Mission equipment and approved design changes can materially alter loading applicability, so aircraft-specific approved documentation is required.
