The aircraft is equipped with the latest Garmin G1000 glass cockpit, fully integrated autopilot system (GFC700), the in-house designed on-top exhaust system (reducing the noise level by 21 decibel) and the AE300 turbocharged diesel engines using Jet-A1 and therefore allowing greater deployment flexibility.
Diamond’s DA42 MPP GeoSTAR carries a Leica laser scanner which is used for all kind of infrastructure planning missions.
“We are pleased to have received our new Diamond DA42 MPP here in South Africa. Our business has changed since we purchased our first Diamond DA42 MPP last year. Operating the Diamond DA42 MPP planes provides our business with extremely low operating cost, JET-A1 fuel burn and long endurance of up to 8 hrs. In conclusion this immensely benefits our clients as it reduces project costs and turnaround times whilst providing added safety on the project,” says Bob Neill, managing director Delmon Aviation.
