DA 42 NG AFM

Procedures

4A.4 FLIGHT CHARACTERISTICS

The DA 42 NG is to be flown with "the feet on the pedals“, meaning that coordinated flight in all phases and configurations shall be supported by dedicated use of the rudder and ailerons together.

With the landing gear extended and at aft CG-locations, with flaps up and full power applied, the airplane will easily recover from sideslip if the trim is set to neutral (normal procedure), otherwise it may require corrective action with a moderate amount of rudder input.

4A.5 DAILY CHECK

Before the first flight of a day it must be ensured that the following checks are performed.

*On-condition check of the canopy, the side door and the baggage compartment doors for cracks and major scratches.

*On-condition check of the hinges for the canopy, the side door and the baggage compartment doors.

*Visual inspection of the locking bolts for proper movement with no backlash.

*Tire inflation pressure check (main wheels: 4.7 bar / 68 psi, nose wheel: 6.0 bar / 87 psi).

*Visual inspection of both spinners and their attachment.
