2. Description and Operation
Figure 1 shows the windows.
% A. General
The DA 40 has 3 windows. Each window is polycast molded acrylic glass (plexiglass). This material gives good optical characteristics. It is also strong. It can be accurately formed into 3-dimensional shapes. A high-performance elastic adhesive bonds each window to the structure. A flexible white sealant fills the small gap between the edge of the window and the structure.
Each window has a band of white paint over the area where it bonds to the structure. The canopy window also has a screened area above the pilots’ heads. This is a sun-shade. New windows are painted by the manufacturer.
% B. Front Canopy and Emergency Windows
The one-piece canopy window covers the pilots’ cockpit. It is also the windscreen. It has a small % emergency window (direct-vision panel) on the left side. Some airplanes also have an emergency % window on the right side. The emergency windows have a hinge. You can open the emergency % windows in flight.
% C. 'Pop out' Windows (O.M 40-086)
% The emergency windows can be furnished with optional small 'pop out' windows for ventilation % (O.M 40-086).
% D. Rear Windows
The passenger door has a window for the left side of the passenger compartment. The right side of the fuselage also has a window for the passenger compartment.
