The Flight School & Student Perspective
The Flight School Perspective
Flying is a passion – Training is a business:
- COST is a major driver: your aircraft are business tools. They need to meet the mission, be safe and reliable and generate the maximum possible margin.
- ENVIRONMENT: you care about the environment. You want your aircraft to be fuel efficient and to produce less CO2 and noise emissions.
- IMAGE: you are a modern flight school and take care of your students. You want to use what the best flight schools use
The Student Perspective
Your students appreciate the many benefits of flying a Diamond:
- 21ST CENTURY APPEAL: great looking state-of-the-art aircraft with comfortable interiors and the most modern avionics.
- HANDLING: exciting performance, great visibility and easy to fly.
- SAFETY: both pilot cadets and their families will value training aircraft with the best safety record in the industry.
Highlights The Diamond Perspective - Your Key To Success
Your Sole Source Supplier Get the right tool
Diamond got you covered: From the right aircraft and flight simulators to match any of your missions to the proprietary jet fuel engine it is fitted with, the glass cockpit to pilot training and EASA Part-147 certified maintenance training in their own ATO (Approved Training Organisation).
Ask any successful commercial operator and they will tell you that fleet commonality simply makes business sense. Diamond offers you all the advantages of fleet commonality:
- minimized instructor standardization
- rapid student transition
- reduced parts inventory
- sole source provider
What is the right aircraft for your business?
That depends on the type of pilots being trained, what level they are being trained to and the utilization will be. Diamond’s dedication to flight training has shaped our product line of modern fuel efficient aircraft, each with a specific training application in mind. From ab-initio through IFR, commercial or multi-engine training, Diamond has the aircraft and simulator to match your mission: PPL, CPL, ATP, CFI, CFII, SEL, MEL.
Costs Generate the maximum possible margin
Less fuel - more flight hours
Fuel costs have become the single largest hourly expense for many high utilization operators, exceeding even capital and insurance costs. That’s why Diamond is bullish on aerodynamic efficiency and even alternative fuel powerplants. Refuel only once a day and increase operation of every of your Diamond aircraft significantly. You can operate your aircraft worldwide and most often benefit from additional cost savings through lower fuel prices for jet-fuel.
We keep you flying
When it’s flying, your aircraft generates revenue, when it’s AOG, it costs money. Demonstrated reliability gives you confidence that unscheduled downtime is minimized, not only for the cost of repair, but for the lost opportunity costs. Diamond designs its aircraft with high utilization in mind. Our twins offer known ice certification, keeping your students safe and allowing you to take-off when others remain grounded.
Resale value
Our rugged composite airframes have an unlimited lifetime, allowing you to fly as many flight hours as you want, and guarantee a high resale price.
Safety No.1 Safety in General Aviation
Safety is critical to any business. When it comes to safety, positive results are what really matter most. Diamond has earned a safety record, backed by real world data, that is second to none. Our primary design goal is to build aircraft that are a pleasure to fly, yet forgiving and safe, while offering maximum protection in case of an accident.
Made out of robust and at the same time strong glass and carbon fiber composite material, our safety cell meets high standards that are unique in our industry. The structure offers a damage tolerance of 26 G in crash tests and 10 G in flight. Diamond aircraft offer you the ultimate in durability, aerodynamic and safety compared to traditional aluminum airplanes.
Handling Top flight characteristics & avionics
Unsurpassed flight characteristics
Flying Diamond Aircraft means:
- unparalleled visibility providing excellent visibility during all flight maneuvers
- agile yet forgiving flight characteristics
- continued controllability through a stall
- superb runway performance
- high crosswind capability
Easy engine handling
Our proprietary jet fuel engines stand for less work and zero guesswork – more efficiency in every regard:
- no manual mixture control
- no magneto ignition
- no manual priming
- no prop control lever
- no hard starting – hot or cold
- no manual runup tests
- no shock cooling
- no cowl flaps
- no power calculations based on rpm and manifold pressure
Most modern avionics
Back in 2001, Diamond Aircraft was the first to commit to GARMIN’s - then top secret - fully integrated G1000 glass cockpit. The today’s GARMIN G1000 NXi offers:
- unparalleled situational awareness and flight monitoring
- reduced pilot workload and safer flying
- reduced transition times because of airliner like cockpits
Image & Environment Diamond's 21st century appeal
Where do you see your institution in 10 years from now? Let Diamond be your competitive advantage! With Diamond Aircraft you’ll be part of the future. Planes certified according to 21st century aviation standards and not according to the 'old days'.
Ramp appeal
Our aircraft, made out of ductile composite materials, allow superior aerodynamically surfaces and sturdy designs. Performance and efficiency can be stylish – our airplane’s ramp appeal prove it and you and your students will love it.
Sustainable flying
Diamond and Austro Engine invested a lot of time and money to bring new engines into aviation, which are environmentally acceptable. Compared to conventional piston aircraft engines running on AvGAS, AUSTRO jet-fuel engines:
- burn up to 50% less fuel at equal power
- produce significantly less exhaust emissions
- are exceptionally silent. Many of our flight school customers report a significant reduction in noise pollution complaints.
