AIRCRAFT INFORMATION · SOURCE REFERENCES

DA40 NG

Maximum cruise at 16,000 ft and maximum continuous power. Range at FL160, 50% power, including climb and excluding reserves.

Published maximum speed, range and seating describe separate test or loading conditions. They are not simultaneously achievable mission guarantees. A pictured aircraft may be an earlier generation; its variant is identified above.

Read the specification source

Source reviewed October 28, 2026. Verify the approved aircraft flight manual for the actual aircraft.

Ownership & maintenance

Review complete logbooks, engine and propeller history, applicable airworthiness directives, corrosion findings, and avionics documentation with a qualified maintenance professional.

Variant reference ↗

Documented examples, not an exhaustive serial-number applicability list. Variant selection explains the aircraft; it does not automatically change a broad family price benchmark. Specifications above remain tied to their named reference variant.

Hours in the advertised market

The public reports used here do not publish average airframe or engine hours for this model. Verified listing-level hour records are needed for this statistic.

Hour statistics use fresh, verified active listings with recorded values. Aircraft without reported hours are excluded, not assigned zero. Engine-hour values are not averaged together without a consistent time-since-new or time-since-overhaul definition. Assess both engines on a twin independently.

What makes a price fair for this aircraft?

Exact model, year & configuration

Match the submodel, generation, engine installation, certification category and significant STCs before comparing prices.

Airframe hours & utilization

Compare total time with aircraft of the same year and mission. Training history, cycles, corrosion and inspection findings matter alongside the hour total.

Engines & propellers

Check time since overhaul, calendar age, recommended limits, records, inspection results and program coverage. For twins, assess both engines independently.

Avionics & approvals

Record exact equipment models, installation dates, autopilot functions, IFR approvals and supported software. Installation cost is not automatically recovered in resale value.

Condition, paint & interior

Use inspection findings and documented refurbishment quality, not a seller’s condition label. Distinguish cosmetic work from structural or corrosion repairs.

Records, damage & maintenance

Review complete logs, AD compliance, inspection status, damage repairs and alteration approvals. An airworthy aircraft can still differ materially from its comparables.

Location & transaction costs

Consider delivery, import/export requirements, tax, prebuy work, currency, escrow and insurance separately from the aircraft’s market value.

Use recent, genuinely comparable closed sales, a review of logbooks and a prebuy inspection to support a negotiated value. There is no universal dollar-per-hour deduction or fixed premium for a glass cockpit.

Build a documented adjusted-price scenario

Start with a documented reference price. Enter signed dollar adjustments supported by an appraiser or comparable evidence. An upgrade invoice or repair quote does not automatically equal a market-value adjustment. These inputs calculate your scenario, not an independent fair-value appraisal.

Your adjusted-price scenario: $399,000

User-entered comparison scenario; no automated condition or avionics premium is assumed.

USD arithmetic: reference price plus your signed adjustments. No machine-generated condition coefficients, market-hour estimates or avionics premiums are applied. Worksheet values are not saved as market observations.
