The flight control system uses conventional ailerons, elevator and rudder. The DA 42 NG has 2 control
sticks (1 on the LH side if OÄM 42-281 is installed. If OÄM 42-283 is installed, the RH control stick is
removable by the pilot) and 2 rudder pedal assemblies to operate the primary flight controls. Push-pull
rods operate the ailerons and the elevator. Cables operate the rudder. An electric motor operates the
flaps via push-pull rods. The elevator has both an electric and a manual trim system. A handwheel and
Bowden cable operate the elevator trim mechanically. The rudder has a mechanical trim system which
uses a rotary drive and Bowden cable to operate a rudder trim tab.
Two Austro Engine E4-B liquid-cooled, in-line four-stroke four cylinder engines with double overhead
camshaft (DOHC) with four valves per cylinder. The valves are actuated by the cam follower. The
direct fuel injection is realized by means of a common rail technique and the engine is charged by a
turbo charger in combination with an intercooler. The propeller is activated by an integrated gearbox
with an integral torsional vibration damper. All engine components are controlled by an EECU system.
The airplane has aluminum fuel tank assemblies in each wing. Each fuel tank has 3 chambers which
are mounted between the wing spars. The outer fuel chamber of each assembly has a fuel filler.
Flexible hoses connect the fuel tanks to the fuel distribution system. Each tank can feed either engine
via a fuel crossfeed system. Fuel level sensors are installed in the inner and outer fuel tank chambers.
The fuel level sensors control the fuel indicating system in the cockpit. The total fuel capacity of the
airplane is approximately 196 liter (51.8 US gal) in the main tanks. If the auxiliary tanks are installed
the total fuel quantity is approximately 300.8 liter (79.4 US gal).
The airplane has two sources of electrical power. A 24 V battery supplies electrical power when the
engines are not running. Engine generators provide electrical power when minimum one of the engines
is running. Switches and circuit breakers control all electrical devices. A key switch controls the engine
starting system.
The DA 42 NG has a full range of flight instruments contained in an integrated cockpit system (ICS).
The ICS has 2 display screens. Both of them are able to show all the airplane flight instrumentation
data, navigation data, engine data and other airplane system data. The ICS also displays all the
airplane warnings, cautions and alerts. The ICS can also be configured to show ground and flight
check lists.
