2003 DIAMOND DA40-180 STAR
Description
9 GPH 2003 DIAMOND DA40 - FRESH LYCOMING OVERHAUL, LOW TOTAL TIME, MT COMPOSITE PROP, POWER FLOW EXHAUST, PROFESSIONAL ADS-B
This 2003 Diamond DA40 is a highly attractive aircraft for a private owner, flying club, or flight school looking for a clean, efficient, well-equipped airplane with major recent investment already completed. With only 1,800 hours total time and just 5 hours since major overhaul on its Lycoming IO-360-M1A, this DA40 offers the rare combination of a low-time airframe, a freshly overhauled engine, and a strong package of practical upgrades.
The aircraft has been painted clean white with no livery, giving the next owner a protective, professional appearance and a blank canvas for custom striping, personal colors, club branding, or flight school identity. For a private owner, this is a refined and efficient four-place aircraft with excellent visibility and strong cross-country utility. For a flight school or flying club, it offers a proven Diamond training platform with low total time, modern equipment, and a clean exterior ready for branding.
The engine and performance package is a major strength. In addition to the fresh Lycoming overhaul, the aircraft includes a refurbished magneto, Power Flow tuned exhaust system, renewed oil cooler, MT composite propeller, oil quick drain, and cold engine heater option. The avionics and systems have also received meaningful attention, including a Garmin 430 with a new screen, refurbished/renewed VM1000 engine monitor display and electronics, professional-level FreeFlight Systems RANGR Blue XVR/G ADS-B In and Out, TCAS, AeroLED Pulsar NSP strobe and position lights on the wing tips, and a whole-plane powerline noise-eliminator circuit designed to help prevent iPhone charger and portable-device interference with aircraft audio and electronics.
Overall, this DA40 combines low total time, fresh engine value, clean presentation, upgraded exhaust performance, an MT composite propeller, professional ADS-B capability, modern LED lighting, refreshed avionics components, and practical owner-friendly options in a compelling aircraft package.Specifications
