Designed for Pilot's Satisfaction

Graceful lines and sporty looks, with a fighter-like canopy offering easy access to the cockpit. Responsive center-stick pushrod controls and comfortable bucket seats mean the DA20 puts a smile on any pilot's face — inside and out.

Engineered to Protect. Designed to Impress.

Whether you're a pilot holding a Night VFR rating or working toward one, the DA20 is built for the moment things go from routine to demanding. Structural and system redundancies, forgiving handling, and a proven track record combine for one of the best safety records in its class — the aircraft is even FAA/TCCA certified for spin training, a rare distinction for a primary trainer.

Relaunched in 2020 with state-of-the-art Garmin avionics, the DA20 pairs that safety pedigree with modern situational awareness. Choose the fuel-injected 125 hp Continental IO-240 in the DA20-C1 for AVGAS simplicity, or the Rotax 912 iSc3 in the DA20i for a lighter, more fuel-efficient option.
