In this video, we take a close look at the Diamond DA42 Twin Star’s engine system — from its Jet-A-burning Austro engines to its full authority digital engine control (FADEC) system.
Whether you're training for your multi-engine rating or just curious about what makes the Twin Star one of the most modern piston twins on the market, this walkthrough will break it all down clearly. Learn how the engines operate, what makes FADEC unique, and why the DA42 is such a popular choice for advanced flight training.
This video is instructed by Steve Buchenroth, a Designated Pilot Examiner (DPE) who has taught hundreds of people to fly and conducted over 3,000 checkrides from Private through ATP. Steve is also the owner of Midwest Corporate Air, a flight school in Bellefontaine, Ohio, that has issued over 5,000 ratings since 2015.
