I'm a production guy and can tell you exactly that the DA50 doesn't have a ballistic parachute system yet.

The DA 50 RG does not come with a ballistic parachute system as of today but this aircraft is on my wishlist. If anyone in the Miami region wishes to go halves, hit me up. I will mainly be using the aircraft to fly between Florida and the Bahanas

yup, also DA62 does not cost the same because it's not just about acquisition price, but also what it costs to run them per hour and to service/overhaul their engines when needed.

I think they are roughly the same price because most people don't want 2 engines even if they have the rating. Twice the cost per hour in fuel, twice the cost of an engine overhaul and honestly, they aren't really any more safe for most missions than a single engine. In fact, I think there's a stat that multi-engines are more dangerous unless you fly them regularly and are familiar and proficient in handling emergencies.

To clarify: no Diamond Aircraft has an BRS on board! So that is why I am wondering why Diamond aircrafts often seen as the safest aircrafts in the world just based on accidents reports from general aviation? There are so many other factors wich have to be taken into account! E.g. maybe many unexperienced pilots decide to fly a Cirrus exactly for the reason having a parachute in case of emergency. The pilot with his experience and his behavior has the biggest impact on the "death rate" in the cited GA accident report *IMHO*!

In addition: Even if the design an ramp appeal is great - the specs are terrible compared to the peer group (and the price!) --> a Cessna T182 is outperforming the DA50 in almost every number (except speed) for half the price.

There is no parachute on the DA50RG. There is no parachute on any Diamond aircraft. That being said, Diamond has the fewest fatalities per 1k aircraft in the industry. You're safer in a Diamond than you are in a Cirrus, parachute or not.

Safest plane and it didn’t need a BRS. Can’t wait for them to add it even more of a reason to fly Diamond

I'd rather fly in one of these than a Cirrus any day of the week. DA50 has a practically unstallable wing. Whereas SR22s spin in all the time
