Whether you are a seasoned pilot or just learning to fly, the DA40 Diamond

Stars give you and your passengers the best way to experience the sheer

joy of flying.

The new DA40 Diamond Stars bring you the same great speed and visibility

as previous models, but with more comfort and style than ever before. Both

the DA40 XLS and CS are built upon the outstanding features that made the

DA40 XL the most popular aircraft in the Diamond family: incredible fuel-

efficiency, superior performance and the best safety record in its class. Now

we’ve made a great plane even better by offering new features, such as

precision WAAS approaches and a roomier interior. The DA40 XLS is the top

of the line, fully equipped and with exclusive appointments to exceed even

the most discriminating tastes. The affordable CS lets you custom tailor your

DA40 to best meet your personal requirements and budget.

When you want to Go Places, call your Diamond Regional

Distribution Center to test fly the DA40 Diamond Stars,

and see why these Diamonds are the planes of choice

for pilots everywhere.

A New Luxur ious Look and Fee l

The DA40 XLS’ new Platinum leather interior takes luxury to a new

level. The XLS offers a choice of leather colors and features a long

list of XLS exclusives, including luxuriously upholstered interior

panels, aluminum-framed genuine wood inlay accents, engraved

brushed aluminum trim, carbon-fiber sill plates and a distinctive

metallic striping package to distinguish your XLS. The all new taller

and wider canopy offers more interior room, while maintaining

the great visibility that all Diamonds are known for. This stunning

redesign makes the DA40 XLS the only way to arrive at your

personal or business destinations.
