Engine Cowlings - Lycoming O-360-A4M Engine

1. General
The DA 40 F has two glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP) panels which make the engine cowlings. A top cowling and a bottom cowling. GFRP is very strong and is easy to maintain. The cowlings give a good aerodynamic shape to the nose of the airplane. They are very easy to remove and give good access to the engine.
Refer to Section 51-20 for repair data for the cowlings. Refer to Section 51-60 for data on the quick-release fasteners.
2. Description
Figure 1 shows the cowlings.
Quick-release fasteners attach the cowlings to each other and to the fuselage. Both the cowlings are very light and one person can hold them easily.
The top cowling has two small access panels for the engine oil filler and dipstick. The access panels attach to the top cowling with hinges.
The bottom cowling has the air intakes. The left intake gives cooling air for the engine. The right intake supplies air for the engine, the oil cooler, cabin heating, battery cooling and alternator cooling. The cowling has an air intake at the bottom-center for the carburetor.
