Lifestyle Aviation is excited to present this 2012 Diamond DA40 XLS, a beautifully maintained and thoughtfully upgraded aircraft with approximately 730 hours on the Tach. This DA40 has been flown at a relaxed pace, averaging about 60 hours per year. The owner plans to continue occasional flights, so hours may slightly increase. A digital Hobbs meter was installed in November 2022; it does not reflect current total Hobbs time.

Exceptional Care and Condition

This DA40 has been consistently hangared by the current owner and, as far as known, by previous owners as well. Its condition reflects this attention to detail. The exterior is rated an impressive 8.5 out of 10, with only minor nicks on striping and minimal wear on the left step. The composite, wingwalks, and overall paint are in great shape, with just a few small nicks on wing corners. Inside, the aircraft shines with a 9 out of 10 rating. The sheepskin seat covers are in top condition, and the underlying camel leather is pristine. Door edges show minimal wear, making this one of the finest DA40s available.

Useful Load and Accessories

This DA40 XLS offers a useful load of 801 lbs, making it versatile for various flying needs. Included accessories cover everything you’ll need for an enjoyable flight experience: tow bar, fuel gauge, cowl plugs, pitot cover, stall warning plug, gust lock, cargo netting in the rear baggage area, a set of plastic chocks, and removable sun shades.

Recent Upgrades & Maintenance

At the most recent annual, completed this year, significant upgrades and preventive maintenance were done to enhance reliability and performance:

• New digital Hobbs meter
• Complete exhaust replacement, keeping the original Powerflow system
• New brakes, battery, GMU, fuel line (meeting AD requirements), spark plugs, and EGT probe
• Fireproof coating applied to the cowling’s underside
• New spinner attachment 

With no disclosed damage history, this DA40 XLS is ready for its next owner, with the next annual inspection due in February 2025. It has been lovingly cared for, and the maintenance is comprehensive and up-to-date.

Why is the Current Owner Selling? 

The owner originally intended to fly more frequently but has not flown as much as planned, making this exceptional DA40 XLS available for its next adventure.
