Diamond DA 62 weight and balance & performance calculator
The Diamond DA 62 is a piston twin with 7 seats, retractable gear and piston engine (avgas or diesel/Jet A-1, depending on version). BriefingPal has 1 model of the Diamond DA 62 on file – DA 62 (MAeM 62-001, 2300 kg) – with data from the Pilot's Operating Handbook for weight and balance, takeoff and landing distances, climb and cruise. Free, no sign-up.

Calculate the Diamond DA 62 weight, CG and takeoff distance
Your own empty mass (weighing report, optional)
The POH has no standard empty moment for this model – enter the empty mass CG from your weighing report to get the CG.
Leave empty to use the typical POH empty mass. Your aircraft's weighing report is what counts.
Calculated on the BriefingPal server from the POH data. Nothing is stored, no cookie. Planning aid only – the POH/AFM and your weighing report are authoritative.
Diamond DA 62 key figures by model
| Model | Built | MTOW | Empty mass¹ | Usable fuel | Max. baggage | Useful load with full fuel¹ |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DA 62 (MAeM 62-001, 2300 kg) | 2015–today | 2,300 kg (5,071 lb) | 1,600 kg (3,527 lb) | 50 US gal (189 L) | – | 541 kg (1,193 lb) |
¹ Typical empty mass from the POH sample loading; your aircraft's current weighing report applies. Useful load = MTOW − empty mass − usable fuel (people, baggage, oil if not included).
Diamond DA 62 takeoff and landing distance
BriefingPal result at MTOW, sea level, 15 °C, no wind, dry paved runway, normal takeoff and landing per POH with the app's default flap setting, without safety factor:
| Model | Takeoff ground roll | Takeoff over 50 ft | Landing over 50 ft | Landing ground roll |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DA 62 (MAeM 62-001, 2300 kg) | 485 m (1,590 ft) | 840 m (2,760 ft) | 780 m (2,560 ft) | 445 m (1,460 ft) |
Hot and high: at 5,000 ft and 25 °C (density altitude about 7,300 ft) the DA 62 (MAeM 62-001, 2300 kg) needs about 1,230 m (4,040 ft) to clear 50 ft – 46 % more than at sea level. Calculate density altitude →
In BriefingPal you enter your actual weight, airfield, temperature and wind. The app reads the POH charts for these conditions, compares the result with TORA/LDA of the selected runway and can add a 1.15 safety factor.
Diamond DA 62 climb and cruise performance
| Model | Rate of climb at sea level | Time / fuel to 6,500 ft | Cruise TAS at 6,500 ft | Fuel flow |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DA 62 (MAeM 62-001, 2300 kg) | 1,030 fpm | 7 min / 2.1 US gal | 163 kt | 29.6 US gal/h (112 L/h) |
MTOW, ISA, default power setting of the POH cruise table. Values change with weight, temperature and the power you choose in the app.

How to calculate Diamond DA 62 weight and balance
- Choose the Diamond DA 62Type the registration or pick Diamond → Diamond DA 62 → your model. Stored weighing data of the registration are used automatically.
- Enter people, baggage and fuelWeights in kg or lb, fuel in US gallons or litres. MTOW and every station limit are checked instantly.
- Check the CG envelopeTakeoff, zero-fuel and landing points are drawn into the Diamond DA 62 envelope from the POH.
- Add airfields and routeTakeoff and landing distances, climb, cruise and fuel follow from the same weight – then print the briefing PDF.
Diamond DA 62 – frequently asked questions
What is the maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) of the Diamond DA 62?
DA 62 (MAeM 62-001, 2300 kg): 2,300 kg (5,071 lb).
How much usable fuel does the Diamond DA 62 carry?
DA 62 (MAeM 62-001, 2300 kg): 50 US gal (189 L).

Is there a free Diamond DA 62 weight and balance calculator?
Yes. BriefingPal is free and needs no account. It covers 1 model of the Diamond DA 62, draws the CG envelope from the POH and also computes takeoff and landing distances, climb, cruise and fuel – with a briefing PDF.
Data source
All figures come from the manufacturer's Pilot's Operating Handbook / Airplane Flight Manual of each model (weight and balance section and performance section) and are computed with the BriefingPal engine. BriefingPal is a planning aid; the original POH/AFM of your aircraft and its weighing report remain authoritative.
