Diamond DA50 – Fast, Safe and Expensive! Review, History & Specs!

Diamond DA50 RG is the fastest single engine aircraft built by Diamond Aircraft. But, Its not only fast, it is also built using the latest composite technology to make it one of the safest single engine airplanes on the market. We review the fuselage of Diamond DA50, its specs, such as speed, range, climb, walk inside to check the interior and also take a historical dive into the Diamond Aircraft itself. Also, we will compare DA50 RG with its bigger brothers like Diamond DA42 and DA62 to see if twins are worth it.

I'm a production guy and can tell you exactly that the DA50 doesn't have a ballistic parachute system yet.

[lukik]

yup, also DA62 does not cost the same because it's not just about acquisition price, but also what it costs to run them per hour and to service/overhaul their engines when needed.

[Maniac]

There is no parachute on the DA50RG. There is no parachute on any Diamond aircraft. That being said, Diamond has the fewest fatalities per 1k aircraft in the industry. You're safer in a Diamond than you are in a Cirrus, parachute or not.

The DA 50 RG does not come with a ballistic parachute system as of today but this aircraft is on my wishlist. If anyone in the Miami region wishes to go halves, hit me up. I will mainly be using the aircraft to fly between Florida and the Bahanas

[Kenword]

Safest plane and it didn’t need a BRS. Can’t wait for them to add it even more of a reason to fly Diamond

[tech-ai-maniac]

To clarify: no Diamond Aircraft has an BRS on board! So that is why I am wondering why Diamond aircrafts often seen as the safest aircrafts in the world just based on accidents reports from general aviation? There are so many other factors wich have to be taken into account! E.g. maybe many unexperienced pilots decide to fly a Cirrus exactly for the reason having a parachute in case of emergency. The pilot with his experience and his behavior has the biggest impact on the "death rate" in the cited GA accident report *IMHO*!

[tymark]

I think they are roughly the same price because most people don't want 2 engines even if they have the rating. Twice the cost per hour in fuel, twice the cost of an engine overhaul and honestly, they aren't really any more safe for most missions than a single engine. In fact, I think there's a stat that multi-engines are more dangerous unless you fly them regularly and are familiar and proficient in handling emergencies.

[antoncarmoducchi]

A quick note to the champions that expect this aircraft to have a parachute. They are only included on aircraft that have such bad flying characteristics as they require them. If you deploy them the aircraft is a write-off and you will still receive serious injuries.
