2. Description and Operation
The DA 40 has a Lycoming 4-cylinder, horizontally opposed, direct drive engine. The engine type is IO-360-M1A. The engine has a wet sump oil system. The IO-360-M1A is air cooled and has a fuel injector system. It has an electric starter and Slick magnetos. It also has either a SlickSTART magneto booster system or a Limited Authority Spark Advance ignition system (LASAR).
The IO-360-M1A engine has a hollow crankshaft which lets oil flow to the propeller from the propeller governor. The propeller flange is type SAE 2 Mod. with 6 mounting bushings. The propeller turns in a clockwise direction when viewed form the cockpit.
The power plant has these components installed:
) Cowling
The power plant has a top and bottom engine cowling. The two halves attach to each other and to the airframe with camloc quick release fasteners. The top cowling has one small access panel for the engine oil filler and dipstick. The bottom cowling has two large cooling air intakes and one air intake for the engine air filter.
) Engine Mount
The engine mount attaches to the firewall at five locations. Tubular steel makes the mounting frame. The engine attaches to the engine mount with shock-mounts. Rubber and metal bushings make the engine shock-mounts.
) Electrical Harness
Electrical cables go through the firewall to connect to the engine. They give electrical supply to the engine starter motor, ignition system and engine sensors. Electrical cables from the generator supply electrical power to the airplane electrical system.

Air Intakes The bottom cowling has these air intakes: ) The intake on the front left face of the bottom cowling supplies cooling air for the engine. ) The intake on the front right face of the bottom cowling has three outlets: @ A small outlet which supplies additional cool air to the engine. @ An outlet which supplies cooling air through integral ducting to the oil cooler. @ An outlet which connects to a flexible hose which supplies cooling air to the cabin heat system, to the battery and to the alternator. ) Engine air intake. This intake is located in the lower center of the cowling and supplies air to the engine air filter.
Engine Drain Pipes The engine has these drain pipes: ) Engine driven fuel pump drain. ) Fuel flow divider drain. ) Induction manifold drain.
