The Owner-Flown Twin With Seven Seats and Single-Lever Engines

A 2017 Diamond DA62 has come onto the market, and Flying has singled it out as a top pick among its current listings. The airplane is a composite-airframe twin, with Austro diesel powerplants managed by full-authority digital engine control, so power is handled by computer rather than by the pilot juggling mixture and prop. The cabin is configured for seven. For an owner who wants a personally flown piston twin with modern engine management and room for the family, this is the kind of airframe worth a closer look, and the listing presents it as fully equipped.
