Diamond DA20 / DV20

Meet Diamond DA20 / DV20

The Katana began as an Austrian Diamond design and developed into the DV20 and DA20 families. The compact side-by-side cockpit, fixed landing gear and T-tail make a recognisable training-aircraft layout. Different developments use different engines and associated equipment.

The DA20 should therefore be distinguished from both the four-seat DA40 and earlier Katana variants. Its simple scale makes it an approachable aircraft to explore in simulation, while the exact model suffix remains useful when selecting engine information and manuals.
