Designed for speed, comfort, style and of course, fun, the DA40 XL is an excellent training aircraft.

With a cruise Speed of 150 kts, the DA40 enables students to explore the northwest while building cross-country time. A takeoff Distance of 1500' over a 50 ft obstacle makes the DA 40 very capable in Montana's hot summers on those high elevation, short landing strips.

G1000 Glass Cockpit improves situational awareness with a moving map depicting terrain; added features like weather and traffic increase safety; overlays of flight plans and approach procedures. All of these features also make the DA40 an excellent choice for all levels of pilot experience.

As the aviation industry advances, nearly every commercial aircraft is moving to a glass cockpit. The DA40 gives students a competitive edge over pilots who do not have glass cockpit experience.
