She's on the way!

Looks great! Love the look of the Business seating. Thank you

It's really comfortable compared to the bench. Plenty of leg room, reclining seats, and the center console with cup holders is awesome. Well done Diamond!

Dumb question, but how did you get the back row seats to fold down? I tried pulling on mine when I got my plane in May and they didn't fold. Also didn't notice a lever to pull, but I didn't look that close either.

Thanks,
Bryce

There should be a small lever towards the top right side of the back seat. Should be able to lift up (I believe) to release and then pull forward,

Great, thanks! I was trying to figure out how to move the seat forward to throw the dumb fuel measuring thing back there .

Yep, I did the same thing. I wish there was a bigger compartment in the floor to stow it like in the DA42. FYI...there is a first aid kit back there too!

[Bryce]

Good to know. Maybe I can also throw the handheld microphone there too!

The business seating is great... I really wanted it on my DA50 but was told no

I mentioned this in my post about the business seating in my 62 but it's probably worth repeating because it wasn't an obvious downside to me when ordering it. Getting in and out of the right seat is much more challenging because of the elevated armrest/cupholder. With the bench, a person can slide over to the right side. With the business seats, you have to raise yourself up while hunched over to get past the center console.

This is no problem for most folks, but if you have folks that aren't so spry (like my 80 yr old parents), then just be aware that you may be trading some entry/exit challenges for in-flight seat comfort.

Still worth it in my opinion. Most people I take up get in just fine and appreciate the seats.

Oh, one other thing I'll mention again is that people with short legs will have their calves resting against the plastic seat mounting interface thingy.
One solution I found that helps a lot is to have a way for those folks to elevate their feet higher, so I carry a couple of these yoga blocks in the plane and they pretty much don't weigh anything. Work great.

True, but the armrest is rather sturdy. It's carbon fiber and seems to be apart of the seat tray so sitting on it when sliding over appears to be okay. It's not like a car center console. It's stout!
