CHAPTER 52
DOORS

1. General
The DA 40 has two types of doors. Section 52-10 tells you about the canopy and the passenger access door. 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 an emergency window on the left side. % Some airplanes also have an emergency window on the right side. You can open the emergency % windows 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 firewall. The canopy moves up and forward to open.
A handle on the left of the canopy operates two locking bolts. The handle is black 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 40 has a small number of access panels. Panels which must be used often (for example the oil filler panel) have quick-release fasteners. Other panels have the usual screws.

2. Canopy Description and Operation
% Figures 1 and 2 show the canopy installation.
% A. Canopy Description
The canopy is a CFRP molding with inner and outer frames. The frames bond together with thickened resin. Each part of the frame has layers of carbon cloth and one layer of glass cloth. Areas of high stress have extra layers of carbon cloth. Mounting bushes for the handle and locking bolts bond to the inside of the frame with thickened resin.
The canopy has a large one-piece acrylic glass window. A special flexible adhesive bonds the window to the canopy frame. A flexible filler seals the small gap between the edge of the window and the frame.
% The window has a an emergency window on the left side. Some airplanes also have an emergency % window on the right side. You can open the emergency windows in flight. Refer to Chapter 56 for data about the window.
% B. Canopy Hinge Frame
The canopy attaches to a tubular steel frame at the front (the hinge frame). The frame attaches to two hinges on the rear face of the firewall. A gas spring strut attaches to the hinge frame and the bottom of the firewall. The canopy moves up and forward to open. The gas spring strut holds the canopy open. A door unlocked warning light (DOOR or DOORS) on the annunciator panel operates when the canopy is unlocked.
