Overview

The Diamond DA40 XLS was the most popular of all the DA40 submodels. 
It combines the best of the best in advanced features, performance and value. 

The DA40 XLS market does not see one owner ULTRA LOW TIME planes like this one come along much anymore. 
If you've been looking for the BEST KEPT LOWEST TIME gas DA40 you just found it. 

This is a special DA40 XLS unit. The owner purchased this plane new from LifeStyle in 2008 and has enjoyed this plane all these years as his personal aircraft. NO flight school use just personal use. The owner pampered the plane and its always been hangared in central North Carolina so no salt water or corrosion concerns. 

The XLS includes the taller bubble canopy and the XLS interior and trim options that really make this plane stand out.  The sporty leather interior and carbon trim accents add tremendously to the ramp appeal and the pride of ownership. 

Buyers everywhere know the XLS version is the one that has the WAAS based GFC700 approach system that makes it a fabulous IFR platform. The PowerFlow Exhaust adds performance and the upgraded wheel pants, strobes and high intensity landing lights make this plane a dream to use. 

The owner added integrated panel mounted control switches and rear power outlet for a portable Arctic Air Air Conditioning system. This system is one you can use when you want and leave behind when its not needed to save weight and room. See the video below for full details.
