Diamond Aircraft, headquartered in Austria with facilities in Canada and China, is amongst the leading aircraft manufacturer in General Aviation. Founded in 1981, Diamond has pioneered many aviation firsts and achieved numerous milestones and industry expert accolades. Today, Diamond Aircraft has more than 1,000 employees worldwide and offers the most complete range of certified piston aircraft models: from the 2 seat single DA20 to the stunning 7 seat DA62. With its complete line of piston aircraft including a dedicated flight training concept with Single Engine Piston (DA40 NG) and Multi Engine Piston (DA42-VI) trainers, along with type-specific flight training simulators and proprietary engines, Diamond Aircraft is the only sole source provider in the fleet training market. Diamond Aircraft also made a footprint in the special mission market with the remote sensing turnkey solutions DA42 MPP and DA62 MPP and the soon to be certified aerobatic turboprop tandem trainer series DART. Diamond Aircraft uses proprietary lead-free jet fuel piston engines, made by Austro Engine GmbH (a 100% subsidiary of Diamond Aircraft Austria), for the DA40, DA42 and DA62. Every one of Diamond’s aircraft shares a common DNA, incorporating leading edge technology, not for the sake of innovation, but for superior performance, efficiency and safety. Over 5,500 Diamond airplanes are flown by private pilots, professional flight training operators and institutions worldwide. Page 7 WHY DIAMOND BEST FUEL EFFICIENCY The manufacture of incredibly fuel-efficient airplanes has always been a cornerstone of Diamond Aircraft’s strategy. All our aircraft are best in class in terms of their fuel efficiency, saving you money whenever you fly. MODERN PROPULSION Diamond Aircraft revolutionized the general aviation market by being the first to introduce most efficient jet fuel piston singles and twins. COMMITMENT TO SAFETY When it comes to safety, positive results are what really matter most. Diamond has earned a safety record, backed by real world data, that is second to none. MODERN AVIONICS Arguably, all OEM’s have access to the same avionics technology, however some adopt quicker than others. Diamond Aircraft was the first customer to commit to Garmin’s fully integrated G1000. ONE-STOP-SHOP No other manufacturer offers you the time-saving and quality ensuring advantage of a single point of contact, whether it‘s the aircraft, the engine it‘s fitted with, our full-size replica simulator or our pilot and maintenance training at our own TRTO. MODERN AIRFRAME Made out of robust glass and carbon fibre composite material, Diamond aircraft have the edge over traditional aluminium airplanes when it comes to durability, aerodynamics and safety. Our primary design goal is to build aircraft that are a plea- sure to fly, yet forgiving and safe, while offering maximum protection in case of an acci- dent. To accomplish this, we invest a lot in two key safety strategies, Active and Passive Safety. The best accident pro- tection is to avoid them in the first place. Active Safety fea- tures and characteristics help do just that. Passive Safety features are the second line of defense and help minimize the probability and degree of injuries.

MISSION APPLICATIONS ▪ Search & rescue ▪ Coastline patrol ▪ Border patrol ▪ Force protection ▪ Fire fighting ▪ Disaster management ▪ Pipeline monitoring ▪ Infrastructure monitoring ▪ and more DA62 MPP DA62 MPP KEYFACTS „In the search of a cost effi- cient, flexible and modular platform the Diamond DA62 fulfilled all of our requirements for dynamic operations. Also the fact that the DA62 uses JET-A1 fuel was crucial to be able to operate in our area.“ Fredrik Pedersen, Andoya Space Page 25 DA62 MPP SURVEYSTAR photo © by RIEGL SINGLE SEAT CONCEPT The standard available seat bench of the DA62 was replaced by two individual DA62 pilot seats to significantly increase the comfort and generate more room for the operator. The seats were re-positioned backwards by 50 mm, there is a console in the middle for standard Dzus units or other tailor-made applications as well as the opportu- nity to benefit from the adjustable backrest for the operators. SURVEY HATCH CONCEPT To have the most clean and aerodynamic shape, Diamond fol- lows the idea to integrate survey cameras as well as the stabili- zation mount in the cabin by replacing the right-hand operator seat. The easy access to the large luggage compartment allows Diamond an easy installation of all additional mission equipment like data storage units, FMS and others. After a year of massive development effort, Diamond received two EASA STC major changes, 62-001 which describes the 20”/ ø508 mm modification in the fuselage centre section as well as the EASA STC 62-002 which describes the single seat configuration modification. TYPICAL SURVEY MULTI MISSION SOLUTION A Vexcel UltraCAM Eagle or Osprey incl. Ultranav, a SOMAG GSM4000 stabilization mount install in the cabin in combination with RIEGL VQ-780 II airborne scanner in the Universal Nose. THE DA62 MPP SURVEY CONFIG In cooperation with our partners, Vexcel Imaging, IGI, Somag as well as RIEGL Laser Measurement Systems, Diamond created a strong and modern European state-of-the-art survey config- uration. The extraordinary low noise signature of the aircraft, supported by the on-top exhaust systems, in combination with the low fuel burn fits perfectly to the idea to operate silently and environmentally friendly. „The DA62 is applicable very versatile. This is due on the one hand to the wide range of speeds at which we can operate the aircraft and on the other hand to the possibility of refueling the aircraft with jet fuel. The low consumption of the DA62 of approximately 50 liters per hour is another important point when we con- sider efficiency” Aicke Damrau, GeoFly, launch customer DA62 MPP SURVEYSTAR Page 29 BLOS (BEYOND LINE OF SIGHT) SATCOM ATOS (AIRBORNE TACTICAL OBSERVATION AND SURVEILLANCE) Maritime surveillance aircraft GABBIANO TS-80 ULTRA-LIGHT RADAR EO/IR CAMERA ON WX MULTI PURPOSE NOSE DA62 MPP MSA Page 31 The DA62 MSA is outfitted with a full Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) suite based on Leonardo’s ATOS (Air- borne Tactical Observation and Surveillance) mission system and deliver a single, intuitive operational picture to the crew.

The DA42 MPP Geostar is perfectly suited for sur- veying cities, land areas, critical infrastructure, glaciers or snow fields, but also for mapping damages caused through natural disasters. The hyperspectral variant fits for ISR, mineralogy or environmental applications. MISSION PROFILE: COMBINED DATA ACQUISITION (SEE GRAPHIC BELOW) A photogrammetric camera, installed in a special pod on the aircraft’s nose, delivers accurate representations of the Earth‘s sur- face, called ortho-photos (aerial photos). A laser-scanner captures the terrain topography by firing a laser and measuring the time it takes for the laser to be reflected back from a point. The result of the collected measurements is a digital terrain model in the form of a point cloud. The scanner is mounted on the belly of the aircraft in a specifically designed pod. By merging the ortho-photo with the point cloud you get a precise, realistic 3D model of the object. „Diamond’s DA42 MPP is a highly innovative and efficient twin engine plane which makes the perfect carrier for our advan- ced LiDAR sensors to offer a turnkey, cutting-edge airborne LiDAR solution for the surveying market. RIEGL has been working closely with Diamond for many years and is proud to operate its own Diamond DA42 MPP as an excellent choice for system integration, testing, and custo- mer demonstrations.“ Dr. Johannes Riegl, CEO RIEGL Laser Measurement Systems, Austria Page 47 DA42 MPP TERRASTAR VLF (VERY LOW FREQUENCY) SENSOR GAMMA RAY DETECTOR AUTONOMOUS WORKING SPECTROMETER WITH SINGLE 4 LITRE OR 8 LITRE CRYSTAL MAGNETIC SENSOR ELECTRONICS MAGNETIC SENSOR HEAD (LIGHT WEIGHT HIGH PRECISION MAGNETOMETER) RADIATION, MAGNETIC AND VLF SURVEYS OPTIONAL MID FORMAT CAMERA Page 49 DA42 MPP TERRASTAR The first aerial turnkey sensor platform worldwide that carries VLF (Very Low Frequency), radiation detection and magnetometer sensors.
