Access Panels
1. General
The DA 42 NG has access panels where needed for routine maintenance of the airplane and its
systems. Panels which must be removed more often (for example, the engine cowlings) have
quick-release fasteners. Other access panels have the usual screws. The two access panels for the
TKS system in the horizontal stabilizer (if installed) are installed with a sealant. Refer to Section 71-20
for data about the engine cowlings.
2. Description
Figure 1 shows the location of the access panels on the airplane.
Most panels are CFRP/GFRP moldings. Screws hold the panels in position. There are no special
procedures for removing the access panels. When install access panels you must make sure that the
area inside the access panel has no loose objects (for example, tools or rags).
