-------
The DA50 RG offers the ultimate in handling, stability and control, ease of operation as well as structural and system redundancies, all coupled with a high degree of crashworthiness. The sleek all carbon composite airframe incorporates advanced aerodynamics with the latest in passive safety technology for high performance, great efficiency and superior occupant protection.
The DA50 RG is powered by the 300 hp Continental Aerospace Technologies CD-300. The CD-300 is a geared, liquid-cooled, turbo-charged and jet-A1-fueled engine controlled by two redundant full FADEC. Pilot workload is lightened using a single lever power control that adjusts thrust and propeller RPM’s automatically. The extra benefits of operating a jet fuel powered aircraft are low emissions, low fuel consumption and global availability.
The 3 blade MT hydraulic variable pitch propeller features advanced blade geometry with state of the art aerodynamic airfoils for efficient performance, smoothness and low noise. The blades are built in natural composite design which leads to an exceptional vibration damping behavior and reduced weight.

That is a well built airplane, definitely on my Christmas shopping list
Very well designed/built a/c! The sales guy, very relaxed as he should be. Nice electronics. I am an aerobatic guy; my plane had push-pull tubes too, with lots of expensive rod-end bearings; differential/frieze ailerons (4). CAVU skies. Nice to see organised professional people!
Took a demo with Sam, good dude and knows the Diamond. Will definitely buy a plane from him when the cash is available.
I got to see this bird on its trip through RYY, and wow! It's stunning, and surprising. I didn't expect the scale, or for it to carry it so well. Every aircraft that went by saw the pilots cranking their heads.
What a great video to do this plane justice. The Diamond crew were also super cool too.
Some will throw shade before even seeing the plane; don't.
Oh my, this video just gives me good throwback feelings when I remember the last demo flight you did in the DA40 NG.
This was an awesome video and the other one was awesome too.
Thanks Sam and Patrick for making them. 💯
Thanks for the kind words William!
We’ll keep the videos coming!😁
@@PatrickMeehanco Anytime, you deserve it 💯
@@LifeStyleAviation Awesome, looking forward to watching all of them 😎
Oh man. What a beautiful aircraft.
A beautiful bird . Will surely give Cirrus SR 22T a tough time.... especially with the SR series is avgas burning bird
That’s awesome! My introduction flight was in a DA40NG and it was just like that!!
Nice! Both airplanes are well built
what a video! thanks!
Thanks Patrick and Sam. Great video. Wish I could be up there.
Great video, guys!!! So well done.
Thanks Tony!
Flying the Diamonds after coming from a long history of Cessna/Beechcrafts from the early 70's I simply love the FADEC and just how much less workload I have to do. They really are the aircraft as we move forward. I'm going to get a lot of flak for saying this but Diamond are actually a level above the old school "standards" of GA we all knew back then. Congratulations!@@LifeStyleAviation
Nice landing
Pretty sure I saw you guys parked at HWD yesterday. Had to squeeze by you in a 182. Wish I had walked over to check it out. Sweet looking plane.
That was us! We are wrapping up our stop at HWD today with some demo flights. Feel free to swing by anytime😁
really cool plane 🤓😎
I'll take one.
My next flying machine 😁
What a great aircraft, how long Diamond has come since their first aircraft.
RV10 would run circles around this rig.
The cruising speed specs I find say TAS 172K at 14K feet. That's actually slower than Cessna Turbo 210s all the way back to 1967.
At least with Diamond the landing gear go down.
@@parttimeandy854 Same for all Cessna 210s.
Now compare the fuel burns and avionics.
@@brandonadams7837 The Diamond website makes it impossible to compare fuel burns, because it lists its 172K cruise at 82% power but lists fuel burn only for 45% and 60% power. Avionics are replaceable on older planes and have nothing to do with the point I was making.
@@brandonadams7837 Same GPH at 170 knots as a Bonanza, with one less seat and less range. The Bonanza is basically 70 year old technology, yet a much newer, diesel powered aircraft can't match its performance. I'd say that proves that diesels really don't belong in aircraft.
Love this plane!
That’s my KAPA
Why do I always see Diamonds flying with CAS messages on the G1000? I see “Stall Ht Off” and “Pitot Ht Off” messages.
I’m not sure about the Stall HT off message, but the “Pitot Heat OFF” message is common on al G1000’s. It won’t go away until it’s turned on.
@@luisdiaz2148 Hmm. I fly a Cirrus, which uses a customized version of G1000. It turns on a "PITOT HT REQD" CAS message if the OAT is at or below 5°C (and the same switch heats the AOA/stall sensor on the FIKI planes as well). Basically, the idea on the Cirrus setup is that you should not have any CAS messages visible. If there is a CAS message visible, it's something you need to do something about. I don't think it's a good human factors design to have people get used to flying with visible CAS messages, because then it is easy to overlook one. Imagine, for example, that you did have the pitot heat on, so that message is gone. But some actually important CAS message appears. So now there are two, just like you're used to flying with all the time. 😕
@@MikeKobb I share the same opinion as you. I’m not a big fan of having that CAS message always illuminated. I think having an OAT sensor go off and alert you if your Pitot Heat is not on, would be a better idea. However I have gotten used to it, I fly the ARCHER III with G1000’s.
Heading but not centered on RWY heading. Hopefully customer service improves. Been quite poor for 1 year since brand new DA62 arrived.
What’s up with ufo stories y’all?
Nice Plane. Pity about the poor range and ridiculous price.
Highly disappointed in the low flight fuel hours. Thats horrible
mustache guy is kinda creepy
Is it about defending the nation and it's citizens or defending the political regime ?
Nice Aircraft, however dare I suggest not the best terrain below for loitering in a single engine Aircraft, and power off stalls with passengers, just a thought, your Aircraft.
not only it has limited range that makes this plane unpractical for full loaded cross country, but its doesn't have parachute, why you need parachute if you have second engine, well now you dont have it..
I think many buyers would rather not have a parachute
Tell us all about the extensive aviation experience you so clearly have
Someone’s a Cirrus fanboy lol. Fun fact, the only reason why they put the parachute on those aircraft was so it could pass checks because it can’t get out of a flat spin. Don’t get me wrong, I like Cirrus too, but man is it an exorbitant amount of money for a single prop that doesn’t even have the option of Jet-A1, retractable gear or FADEC yet.
The word is impractical. Also the rest of what you said was bs.
Just out of curiosity what do you own now? This is a beautiful aircraft. Diamond has come up with so many great backups, and dual consistencies what more could you look for? Truly an enjoyable and informative flight.
Diamond really needs to stop using the word diesel in their marketing. Either say compression ignition engine or jet fuel powered piston engine. Diesel in the US is not viewed favorable by the public in the automotive sector, don't use it in the GA market.
You’re making a generalization there that I do not agree with. Maybe in certain parts of the country diesel is an unfavorable means of propulsion but I seriously doubt it’s the majority consensus. . Anyone that doesn’t appreciate a diesel engine must associate diesel with Kids driving poorly tuned trucks that smoke out every intersection. I currently lease an SR22 and am going to buy something in the next six months. If diamond did not use diesel in their marketing material I would have never even given them a look but when I hear diesel, I think of a heavy duty efficient long lasting engine. . As long as the EPA doesn’t force them to put a DPF and SCR system on these.
Very nice aircraft but over priced.
