About this Diamond DA42-VI 4,407 lb configuration
The DA42-VI is the commercial designation of the DA 42 NG with MÄM 42-600 installed. This calculator additionally represents MÄM 42-659, which provides the 4,045 lb maximum zero fuel weight and 4,407 lb maximum landing weight, and MÄM 42-678, which provides the 4,407 lb maximum takeoff weight.
The represented loading stations are 90.6 in for the front seats, 128.0 in for the rear seats, 23.6 in for the nose baggage compartment, 153.1 in for the cabin baggage compartment and 178.7 in for the baggage extension.
The nose baggage compartment is limited to 66 lb. The cabin baggage compartment is represented with a 100 lb limit and the baggage extension with a 40 lb limit; the cabin baggage compartment and extension together are limited to 100 lb.
Main-tank fuel configuration
This calculator represents the two main tanks only: up to 50.0 US gal usable at a loading arm of 103.5 in. The weight and balance fuel density used by this configuration is 7.01 lb/US gal.
Optional auxiliary tanks are not represented on this page. Auxiliary fuel uses a different loading arm and therefore must not be combined with the main-tank quantity as though all fuel were located at the main-tank arm.
Zero fuel, takeoff and landing checks
WBcalc checks the 4,045 lb maximum zero fuel weight separately from the takeoff and expected landing conditions. The published flight CG envelope is applied to flight conditions. This calculator does not infer a separate zero-fuel CG envelope where one is not explicitly represented by the source data.
