Description
This 2008 Diamond DA20-C1 Eclipse (registration ZK-DAF) is a hard-working, conscientiously maintained example of
the world's favourite composite two-seat trainer. With a factory-new Continental IO-240-B fitted in June 2023 – just
870 hours since new – and a new MT propeller with barely 216 hours, it offers exceptional value at an accessible price
point.
The DA20-C1 pairs a carbon-fibre composite airframe and bubble canopy with crisp, responsive handling and
remarkably low operating costs. The panel combines an Aspen electronic flight display with a Garmin GTX 33X ADS
B Mode S transponder and a 406 MHz ELT. In active service with over 215 hours flown in the past 12 months, and
maintained to the manufacturer's maintenance program by the New Zealand International Commercial Pilot Academy
(NZICPA), it is ideally suited to flight training, time building or affordable private flying.
