CHAPTER 52
DOORS
1. General
The DA 42 NG has three types of doors. Section 52-10 tells you about the canopy and the passenger
access door. Section 52-30 tells you about the front baggage compartment doors and Section 52-40
tells you about the maintenance access panels.
2. Description
The canopy is a CFRP molding with inner and outer frames. The frames bond together. The canopy
has a large one-piece acrylic glass window. The window has direct vision panels on both sides. You
can open the direct vision panels in flight. Refer to Chapter 56 for data about the window.
The canopy attaches to a tubular steel frame at the front. The frame attaches to two hinges on the rear
face of the instrument panel frame. The canopy moves up and forward to open.
A handle on the left of the canopy operates two locking bolts. The handle is red on the inside of the
canopy and red on the outside. The locking bolts are at the bottom rear corners of the canopy.
The passenger door is a CFRP molding with inner and outer frames. The frames bond together. The
door has a acrylic glass window.
Two hinges attach the door to the top of the fuselage near the center-line. A gas strut attaches to the
rear of the door and the fuselage. The gas strut holds the door open.
A handle on the left of the door operates two locking bolts. The handle is black on the inside of the
door and red on the outside. The locking bolts are at the bottom front and rear corners of the door.
The DA 42 NG has a large baggage compartment in the nose of the airplane. An access door on each
side of the airplane gives access to the baggage compartment. The baggage compartment doors have
hinges at the top and locking handles at the bottom. Gas struts hold the doors up when they are in the
open position.
The DA 42 NG has a small number of access panels. Panels which must be used often (for example,
engine cowlings) have quick release fasteners. Other panels have the usual screws.
