Purchased a 2020 Diamond DA42NG Twin engine aircraft from Dalton Georgia earlier this month. It is an amazing twin engine aircraft with a Garmin G1000 cockpit , air conditioned and Austro Engine (Jet A1 Fuel). It is a great aircraft for hobby fliers and aviation enthusiasts. This one will be ferried to India and based in Gujarat for personal flying.

Congratulations, that is a gorgeous and very impressive plane! I have flown a few times in them, though not as PIC, Im not twin rated. But I have some hours on the single engine variant, lovely plane.

My personal favourite was always the Cirrus SR20 or SR22. Albeit also single engine, you can't really compare. Similar cockpit based on Garmin avionics as yours.

Nice to somebody flying a personal plane in India. I tried to get back to flying having moved from the US to Delhi. I found it incredibly difficult to even to begin to understand how to get started even though I have FAA license and endorsements.

Any way, gave up on flying and bought a gorgeous 1974 Royal Enfield Bullet to bum around India. My wife thought that was marginally safer than flying these little planes. She never liked it. “All those little planes keep falling down!” she used to say. Which in the USA is quite true with at least one GA crash a day more or less. So I convinced here a needed a Cirrus as it comes equipped with a parachute as standard. She liked that!

Looking forward to see some more posts about you flying this wonderfully machine!
