With well over a thousand aircraft delivered worldwide, the DV20 / DA20 line is by far the most popular two-seater on the market. In the last 18 months alone, Diamond has delivered DA20s to customers in Brazil, South Africa, Mexico, Sweden, Austria, Italy, France, Poland, Australia, Turkey, Spain, China, Switzerland, the USA and Canada.

The company says the combination of high useful load, approval for Night VFR operations, intentional spin approval, and available Garmin G500 glass cockpit in a fully certified two seat airplane make the DA20 a workhorse in flight training schools worldwide, as well as a practical and economical sport airplane.

With a gross weight of 800 kg (1764 lbs), Diamond says the DA20's robustness is ideally suited to high utilization operations. Its toughness, reliability, high resale value, performance, and safety have been demonstrated in several million flight training hours under a variety of extreme operating conditions.
