With this purchase, Capital City
Aviation expands its lineup of new Diamond Aircraft which includes
one DA20 Eclipse and two DA40 XLS Diamond Star aircraft. Chief
flight instructor Brad Guthrie took delivery of this aircraft this
month at the Diamond Factory in London, ON. "The training was
excellent and the aircraft exceeded all my expectations" said
Guthrie of his transition training and delivery flight back to
Columbus. "When you take control of the DA42 you are in command of
the most technologically advanced twin today. Representing the
latest in airframe design, avionics capability and new engine
technology, the DA42 NG is designed for pilots who truly want to go
places safely and in style."
Its composite airframe, efficient Jet-A burning Austro AE 300
engines, G1000 avionics suite, and Known Icing certification make
this aircraft one of general aviation's safest and most capable
types.
"Great Lakes Diamond Aircraft Sales is pleased to expand its
relationship with Capital City Aviation," said Joe Miller, GLDAS'
Columbus-based dealer. "The club has been a remarkable
success story bringing top-of-the line equipment and training to
Central Ohio for 6 years. With its all-weather capability and
world-class avionics suite, this aircraft will be a popular
addition to their busy rental fleet."
