SAFETY: both pilot cadets and their families will value training aircraft with the best safety record in the industry. THE STUDENT PERSPECTIVE Your students appreciate the many benefits of flying a Diamond: THE FLIGHT SCHOOL & STUDENT PERSPECTIVE OPERATION > 2,500,000 flight hours PRODUCTION > 2,300 engines in service SAFE DESIGN MTBF > 110,000 h TBR 1,800 h 50% LESS FUEL compared to AvGas engines PER HOUR (60%) power (JET-A1 Version) JET-A1 worldwide operability REFUEL only once a day DA42 Accident Rate Source: Aviation Consumer, January 2012 Icons below: as of 2019 DA40 Accident Rate GA AVERAGE Accident Rate 6.3 1.45 1.19 5.2 UsGal LESS FUEL - MORE FLIGHT HOURS Fuel costs have become the single largest hourly expense for many high utilization operators, exceeding even capital and insurance costs. That’s why Diamond is bullish on aerodynamic efficiency and even alternative fuel powerplants. Refuel only once a day and increase operation of every of your Diamond aircraft significantly. You can operate your aircraft worldwide and most often benefit from additional cost savings through lower fuel prices for jet fuel. NO. 1 IN SAFETY IN GENERAL AVIATION Safety is critical to any business. 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. Our primary design goal is to build aircraft that are a pleasure to fly, yet forgiving and safe, while offering maximum protection in case of an accident. To learn more about our safety obsession visit our website at: www.diamondaircraft.com/about-diamond/why-diamond/safety MODERN AVIONICS Back in 2001, Diamond Aircraft was the first to commit to GARMIN’s - then top secret - fully integrated G1000 glass cockpit. The today’s G1000 NXi, similar to those used in large airliners, offers unparalleled situational awareness and flight monitoring. It meets the highest expectations regarding operator convenience and better safety. MODERN AIRFRAME Made out of robust and at the same time strong glass and carbon fiber composite material, our safety cell meets high standards that are unique in our industry. The structure offers a damage tolerance of 26 G in crash tests and 10 G in flight. Dia- mond aircraft offer you the ultimate in durability, aerodynamic and safety compared to traditional aluminum airplanes. Our rugged airframes have an unlimited lifetime, allowing you to fly as many flight hours as you want, and guarantee a high resale price. Ductile composite materials, rather than aluminum, allow superior aerodyna- mically surfaces and sturdy designs. Performance and efficiency can be stylish – our airplane’s ramp appeal proves it and you and your students will love it. WE CARE ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT Diamond and Austro Engine invested a lot of time and money to bring new engines into aviation, which are environmentally acceptable. Compared to conventional pis- ton aircraft engines running on AvGAS, AUSTRO jet fuel engines: • burn up to 50% less fuel at equal power • produce significantly less exhaust emissions • are exceptionally silent PROPRIETARY JET FUEL ENGINE Innovation and industry leadership mean saying “no” to doing things the way they have been done before. With Diamond’s proprietary AUSTRO jet fuel piston engines, that means no manual mixture control, no magneto ignition, no manual priming, no prop control lever, no hard starting – hot or cold, no manual runup tests, no shock cooling, no cowl flaps, no power calculations based on rpm and manifold pressure. In short, less work and zero guesswork – more efficiency in every regard. WE KEEP YOU FLYING When it’s flying, your aircraft generates revenue, when it’s AOG, it costs money. Demonstrated reliability gives you confidence that unscheduled downtime is mini- mized, not only for the cost of repair, but for the lost opportunity costs. Diamond designs its aircraft with high utilization in mind. Our twins offer known ice certification, keeping your students safe and allowing you to take-off when others remain grounded. FNPT II SOLUTION Diamond’s model-specific flight training devices perfectly complement your Dia- mond training fleet. Designed both for basic and advanced instrument, navigation and procedural training, they are perfectly suited for instruction, check flights, screening purposes and skill proficiency tests - they help you to further increase the efficiency of your training syllabus, saving time and money. YOUR PERFECT MARKETING TOOL: 21ST CENTURY APPEAL Where do you see your institution in 10 years from now? Let Diamond be your com- petitive advantage!

Barry Butler, president of Embry-Riddle. “We are honored to extend our successful, long-term relationship with Diamond Aircraft Industries to replenish the Embry-Riddle fleet with DA42-VI aircraft, to provide our students with a highly effective and reliable training plat- form that will serve them well.” Matthias Lehmann, Managing Director at Luft- hansa Aviation Training’s base in Rostock is happy about the new planes in his fleet: “In terms of education quality, efficiency and ecology a quantum leap for LAT’s European Flight Aca- demy.” CEO of PFA, Frode Granlund says: “These simu- lators are a part of our long-term strategy and expansion plan. We have invested highly in peo- ple and good administrative systems to be able to educate larger groups of future airline pilots. Currently, we have 150 students on the integ- rated pilot education and we are planning to double that number to 300 students in the next two years. We found that the simulators from Diamond Aircraft Austria are the best copy of the real aircraft, and that the pricing and support they offer is absolutely competitive.” “We chose the modern jet fuel burning aircraft because they provide a strategic competitive advantage,” said Trey Walters, founder and owner of Blue Line Aviation. “They’re more reliable and easier to maintain than older gas engine aircraft. The airplanes start every time, there are no magneto problems, and the main- tenance and fuel costs are lower. We fly 100+ hours a month per aircraft, so that has been a huge benefit for us.” “We believe the joy of flight should be available to all, and by partnering with our local schools and others in our community, we are offering intel- lectually curious, aspiring aviators a world-class training program and a guaranteed, post-gradua- tion pathway to a career at Republic,” said Matt Koscal, Senior Vice President, Republic Airways Holdings. “We look forward to building LIFT Academy, leveraging Diamond’s industry-leading technology, cost effectiveness, safety and envi- ronmental responsibility.” Pauls Calitis, airBaltic SVP Flight Operations: “Our state-of-the-art Diamond Aircraft fleet is one of the sucess factors for the airBaltic Pilot Academy, which is the go-to program for aspiring Baltic pilots. Only Pilot Academy offers high calibre pilot training, which will lead to employment as an airBaltic pilot. This additional order for Dia- mond Aircraft supports the continued growth of our training capabilities.” Oscar Sordo, CEO of FTEJerez, says: ‘’We are really excited about this. FTE has, for many years, been training pilots for some of the world’s leading airlines. We are committed to continue delivering the best future captains to the industry, and to do this we need to use best equipment. The acquisition of the latest state-of-the-art flight and simulation equipment makes good sense. The transition to a modern airline cockpit will be much easier from these glass cockpit equipped aircraft and the latest safety features that they offer.“ Dimitris Lymperakis, Director Egnatia Aviation: “[...] increase our fleet to 22 aircraft forming one of the biggest and youngest fleets of Dia- mond aircraft globally. Our commitment to provide the highest level of airline pilot training and at the same time significantly increase our capacity can only be achieved by teaming- up with leading partners in the market, such as Diamond Aircraft Industries. The proven efficiency and performance of Diamond aircraft was a one-way decision for us.” Summit Aviation operates a fleet of Diamond DA20, DA40 and DA42 aircraft. Owner Ben Wal- ton remarked “Clearly this award is a testament of our Diamond Aircraft training model, flying with some of the safest and most efficient air- craft available. We are proud of our fleet and our team of highly professional instructors.” “Thank you, Diamond Simulation! We run a very busy schedule at CTC Training UK and both our FNPTII have performed impeccably, logging a total of 22,000 hrs of training details and delive- red a 99% availability record since August 2008. To maintain this high level of usage would not be possible without the tremendous back-up facility your service advisors deliver. Diamond Simulation was the correct choice for CTC trai- ning UK.” says CTC Aviation’s (now L3 Airline Academy) Simulator Manager, Drew Guyat. Kevin J. McMurtrie, former Chief Pilot and Chief Flying Instructor, Australian International Aviation College: “We are really impressed with our new Jet-A1 powered DA42-VI’s and DA40 NG’s. They are providing us with excellent reliability and are an excellent platform for our training. We expect fuel consumption reductions over our AvGas powered fleet of 32% for our single-engine aircraft and 55% for the multi-engine fleet. Well done to you guys for producing such great products.” Hon. Darren Chester MP said the fleet of Dia- mond aircraft introduced a modern aircraft for training and would inspire young Australians to pursue a career in aviation. “I am pleased to announce the leasing of eight aircraft for exclusive use by Australian Air Force Cadets,” Mr Chester said. “Over the next ten years these aircraft will provide a standardised flight training platform for aspiring young airmen and women, particularly those in regional areas.“ AIRCRAFT FACTS AND SPECIFICATIONS DA20i Katana DA20 C1 ENGINE (BRP-Powertrain) Rotax 912 iSc3 Sport with 100 HP 125hp Continental Motors IO-240-B32B engine PROPELLER MT propeller MTV-21-A/175-05, 2-blade constant speed propeller Sensenich 2 blade fixed pitch propeller FUEL GRADES AVGAS 100LL, Super EN 228 AVGAS 100LL MAX.
