With an initial order of two DA42 NGs, Phoenix East Aviation also plans to upgrade their existing DA42 TDIs with Austro Engine AE 300 powerplants and will eventually migrate their entire multi-engine fleet to the DA42 NG. Ghassan Reslan, CEO of Phoenix East, accepted delivery of their first
DA42 NG this week at AOPA Summit.

"The Diamond DA42 NG offers our students, who are pursuing professional pilot careers, the most advanced multi-engine training platform in the industry," Reskab said. "With the DA42 NG's state-of-the-art engines, airframe, and avionics technologies, our students will be well prepared for careers as jet pilots."

The DA42 NG is built on an all-carbon airframe. It features FADEC controlled, single power lever, twin turbo-diesel Austro AE 300 engines, and the Garmin G1000 integrated glass cockpit including the GFC 700 Automated Flight Control System and Synthetic Vision Technology (SVT).

"With the introduction of the DA42 NG, Diamond Aircraft is pleased to expand its relationship with Phoenix East Aviation," said David Moser, Director of Fleet Sales for Diamond Aircraft. "With unprecedented fuel economy, stellar performance, and exceptional reliability, we are confident that Phoenix East will be thrilled with their selection of the DA42 NG."
