How many times have they slipped the delivery date of C055 since you signed a contract?

And, yes, this will be my second DA62: the first one was an interim aircraft that Premier worked into the contract for my new one. I was supposed to have it until delivery of C039 in Q3 2021, but s**t happens...

So far just once, from "Q3" to 10/31/22.

OK, so it's your real purchase, you're not building a fleet! :D

Plenty of time for another slip or two. ;)

I can justify *one* DA62 for personal transport, but two would be...excessive. And even harder to hangar. :D

Interesting to read the comments regards delays etc, mine is due in March 2022 but I didn’t receive any communication yet, I touched base a few months ago and they said Covids a challenge but should be on track. 🤔
s/n 62.189
Mine is coming directly from the factory in Austria.

Can’t wait until she arrives 🙏🙏😍

Kevin,
With a supposed March delivery, when did they have you select your paint and interior options?

Hi Bryce

I did that shortly after the point of the order. But I thought they would be confirming it at some point. They told me it would be a 9 month wait which seems inconsistent to the other posters here , possibly because I live in Czech so ordered directLy from them ?

Or it’s going to be months still 🤦‍♂️

Kevin,

Hi Bryce
It was placed in August. I suppose that they have more production capacity and less orders in Europe ?
