Diamond Aircraft DA 42 NG history and development
EASA records a certification application date of January 17, 2008 for the DA 42 NG. Diamond later introduced the commercial designation DA42-VI for DA 42 NG aircraft equipped with MÄM 42-600.
Diamond Aircraft DA 42 NG fuel capacity
Current Diamond DA42-VI specifications list 50.0 U.S. gallons in the main tanks and an optional 26.4 U.S. gallon auxiliary-tank capacity.
These are current-production DA42-VI figures and should not automatically be substituted for earlier DA 42 NG configurations.
Diamond Aircraft DA 42 NG configurations and applicability
Base DA 42 NG design-mass configuration
| Maximum takeoff weight | 4,189 lb |
|---|---|
| Maximum landing weight | 3,979 lb |
DA42-VI configuration
Applicability: DA 42 NG with MÄM 42-600 installed; additional design changes may alter certified mass limits.
| Maximum takeoff weight | 4,407 lb |
|---|---|
| Maximum landing weight | 4,407 lb |
EASA identifies DA42-VI as the commercial designation of DA 42 NG with MÄM 42-600 installed.
Current Diamond DA42-VI factory specification
| Engine | Austro Engine AE 300 |
|---|---|
| Maximum takeoff weight | 4,407 lb |
Current factory figures are not a substitute for the approved AFM applicable to an earlier DA 42 NG.
Diamond Aircraft DA 42 NG model applicability and configuration
Certified mass limits vary by installed design changes. EASA lists multiple approved DA 42 NG mass configurations, so one set of limits must not be assumed to cover every airplane.
Diamond Aircraft DA 42 NG weight and balance
The base DA 42 NG configuration is listed at 4,189 lb maximum takeoff mass, 3,891 lb maximum zero fuel mass and 3,979 lb maximum landing mass.
With the relevant approved design changes, the DA42-VI configuration can use a 4,407 lb maximum takeoff mass, 4,045 lb maximum zero fuel mass and 4,407 lb maximum landing mass.
WBcalc's existing DA42-VI calculator represents one specific 4,407 lb configuration only and should not be treated as a universal calculator for all DA 42 NG aircraft.
