Normal Operating
Procedures
4A.3 FLIGHT CHARACTERISTICS
The DA 40 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.
4A.4 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 rear door for cracks and major scratches.
-On-condition check of the lever arms of the canopy and the hinges of the rear door.
-Visual inspection of the locking bolts for proper movement with no backlash.
-Visual inspection of the rear door safety hook.
- Tire inflation pressure check : |
main wheels: |
3.3 bar (48 PSI) |
|
nose wheel : |
3.1 bar (45 PSI) |
- Visual inspection of the spinner and its attachment (including screws).
