3. EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
3.1 INTRODUCTION
Airspeed
Symbol Event up to 1700 kg above 1700 kg
(3748 lb) (3748 lb)
WARNING
In certain combinations of airplane weight, configuration,
ambient conditions, speed and pilot skill, negative climb
performance may result. Refer to Chapter 5,
PERFORMANCE for one engine inoperative performance
data.
NOTE
One engine inoperative means an asymmetric loss of thrust,
resulting in uncommanded yaw and roll in direction of the
so-called "dead" engine (with coordinated controls). To handle
this situation it is vital to maintain directional control by mainly
rudder and additional aileron input. The following mnemonic
can help to identify the failed engine:
WARNING
Control over the flight attitude has priority over attempts to
solve the current problem ("first fly the aircraft").
NOTE
With respect to handling and performance, the left-hand
engine (pilots view) is considered the "critical" engine.
Depending on the situation the following attempts can be made to restore engine power
prior to securing the engine:
CAUTION
Once the engine has been shut down for longer than
30 seconds, it can only be restarted below 8000 ft pressure
altitude. Proceed in accordance with 3.5.4 - UNFEATHERING
& RESTARTING THE ENGINE IN FLIGHT.
NOTE
If the loss of power was due to unintentional setting of the
POWER lever, you may adjust the friction lock and continue
your flight.
CONTINUED
NOTE
In case of low fuel quantity in the affected engine’s fuel tank
you may feed it from the other engine’s fuel tank by setting
the affected engine's FUEL SELECTOR to CROSSFEED.
If the engine power could not be restored by following the procedure of this section prepare
for 3.5.6 - ENGINE FAILURES IN FLIGHT and land as soon as possible.
END OF CHECKLIST
Depending on the situation attempts can be made to restore engine power prior to securing
the engine (see Section 3.5.2 - ENGINE TROUBLESHOOTING).
CAUTION
Do not shut down an engine with the FUEL SELECTOR valve.
The high pressure fuel pump can otherwise be damaged.
NOTE
The remaining fuel in the tank of the failed engine can be
used for the remaining engine, to extend range and maintain
lateral balance, by setting its FUEL SELECTOR in the
CROSSFEED position.
END OF CHECKLIST
WARNING
Do not attempt to restart the feathered engine when the
reason of the engine failure cannot be identified since the
un-feathered propeller of an inoperative engine might not be
able to be feathered again.
WARNING
An unfeathered propeller causes increased drag and
reduces/increases climb/sink rate up to 200 ft/min.
NOTE
Restarting the engine in flight is possible at altitudes below
8000 ft pressure altitude.
If the reason of the engine failure can be identified as the result of an improper handling
by the pilot and there is no indication of malfunction or engine fire a restart may be
attempted. Refer to 3.5.2 - ENGINE TROUBLE SHOOTING to check for possible causes.
CONTINUED
CAUTION
Do not engage the starter if the propeller is windmilling! This
might damage the starter.
CAUTION
After the engine has started, the power lever should be set
to a moderate power setting, until engine temperatures have
reached the green range.
CONTINUED
CAUTION
After the engine has started, the power lever should be set
to a moderate power setting, until engine temperatures have
reached the green range.
WARNING
One attempt to feather the engine results in a loss of altitude
of up to 800 ft. Do not attempt to feather the engine if the
altitude is insufficient to execute the procedure.
CAUTION
If the propeller does not feather after the first attempt, do not
carry out further attempts to feather the propeller to avoid
further loss of altitude.
NOTE
In order to feather the propeller the propeller RPM must be
above 1800 RPM. Below 1800 RPM the centrifugal latches
of the start locks will not disengage and the propeller will keep
wind-milling.
CONTINUED
NOTE
The remaining fuel in the tank of the failed engine can be
used for the remaining engine, to extend range and maintain
lateral balance by setting the fuel selector of the remaining
engine to the CROSSFEED position. If one of the power
levers is set to low settings the landing gear warning horn is
activated. Set the power lever of the secured engine forward
as required to mute the warning horn.
END OF CHECKLIST
- Abort take-off.
CAUTION
If sufficient time is remaining, the risk of fire in the event of
a collision with obstacles can be reduced as follows:
END OF CHECKLIST
If landing gear is still extended and the remaining runway / surface is adequate:
- Abort the take-off & land straight ahead, turning to avoid obstacles.
Continued take-off:
WARNING
A continued take-off is not recommended if the steady rate
of climb according to Section 5.3.9 - ONE ENGINE
INOPERATIVE CLIMB PERFORMANCE is less than 3.3 %.
Under certain combinations of ambient conditions, such as
turbulence, crosswinds and wind shear as well as pilot skill
the resulting climb performance may nevertheless be
insufficient to continue the take-off successfully. Therefore
a continued take-off with a failed engine has to be avoided
if at all possible.
CONTINUED
Continue according to Section 3.5.9 - FLIGHT WITH ONE ENGINE INOPERATIVE and
land as soon as possible according to 3.5.7 - LANDING WITH ONE ENGINE
INOPERATIVE.
If the situation allows, you may climb to a safe altitude for troubleshooting (3.5.2 - ENGINE
TROUBLESHOOTING) in order to try to restore engine power.
END OF CHECKLIST
WARNING
As the climb is a flight condition which is associated with high
power settings, airspeeds lower than vMCA (66 KIAS Flaps
APP or 70 KIAS Flaps UP) should be avoided as a sudden
engine failure can lead to loss of control. In this case it is very
important to reduce the asymmetry in thrust to regain
directional control.
CONTINUED
If the situation allows, you may climb to a safe altitude for troubleshooting (3.5.2 - ENGINE
TROUBLESHOOTING) in order to try to restore engine power.
END OF CHECKLIST
Continue according to Section 3.5.9 - FLIGHT WITH ONE ENGINE INOPERATIVE and
land as soon as possible according to Section 3.5.7 - LANDING WITH ONE ENGINE
INOPERATIVE.
If the situation allows, you may climb to a safe altitude for troubleshooting (3.5.2 - ENGINE
TROUBLESHOOTING) in order to try to restore engine power.
END OF CHECKLIST
Continue according to Section 3.5.9 - FLIGHT WITH ONE ENGINE INOPERATIVE and
land as soon as possible according to Section 3.5.7 - LANDING WITH ONE ENGINE
INOPERATIVE.
If the situation allows, you may climb to a safe altitude for troubleshooting (3.5.2 - ENGINE
TROUBLESHOOTING) in order to try to restore engine power.
END OF CHECKLIST
Preparation:
CAUTION
For emergency landing the adjustable backrests (if installed)
must be fixed in the upright position.
Operative engine:
CONTINUED
WARNING
One-engine inoperative approaches for landing with flap
settings of more than flaps UP are not recommended unless
a safe landing is assured („Making the field“). Higher flap
settings increase the loss of altitude during the transition to
a one engine inoperative go-around / balked landing.
CAUTION
In conditions such as (e.g.) strong wind, danger of wind shear
or turbulence a higher approach speed should be selected.
END OF CHECKLIST
CAUTION
The go-around / balked landing is not recommended to be
initiated below a minimum of 800 ft above ground.
- Establish minimum sideslip and manoeuver for a new attempt to land. Repeat from step 1
of this section.
CONTINUED
If time allows the following steps can reduce the risk of fire in an event of collision with
obstacles after touchdown:
NOTE
If landing is performed off airfield, depending on the surface
condition it may be beneficial to land with the gear UP. Note
that the energy absorbing function of the landing gear is lost
in such cases.
NOTE
Extending the gear and extending the flaps to LDG will
increase drag and incur a high sink rate. Only when the
landing area can be reached safely, landing with flaps LDG
is advisable.

END OF CHECKLIST
CAUTION
Even if a positive flight performance can be established with
one engine inoperative, land as soon as practicable at the
next suitable airfield / airport.
This will extend range and helps to keep the wings laterally
balanced (see 2.14 - FUEL).
Land as soon as possible according to Section 3.5.7 - LANDING WITH ONE ENGINE
INOPERATIVE.
If the situation allows, you may climb to a safe altitude for troubleshooting (3.5.2 - ENGINE
TROUBLESHOOTING) in order to try to restore engine power.

1)
See NOTE below
2)
Also the speed for best angle of climb (vx). vx is usually less than vy. For the DA 42
however, the actual value of vx would be below the minimum safe speed. The minimum
airspeed for best angle of climb was therefore raised to the value of vy.
The DA 42 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.
The airplane will recover from sideslip in all conditions if trimmed. At aft CG-locations,
with full power applied, the airplane will easily recover from sideslip if the trim is set to
neutral (normal procedure), otherwise it may require corrective action with a moderate
amount of rudder input.

4A.6.12 GO AROUND
END OF CHECKLIST
STICK LIMIT Control stick limiting system (variable elevator stop) has
failed.
The variable elevator backstop is activated depending on the position of the POWER
levers. The system has two failure modes which can be identified as follows:
(a) Both POWER Levers Are in a Position for a Power Setting of More than Approximately
20 % LOAD
CAUTION
The variable elevator backstop is inoperative. In case of
stalling with "power-on" the handling qualities and stall-
characteristics are degraded significantly.
Do not stall the airplane in any configuration.
(b) At Least One POWER Lever Is in a Position for a Power Setting of Less than
Approximately 20 % LOAD
CAUTION
The variable elevator backstop is active all the time, reducing
the maximum elevator "pull"-deflection. This results in
reduced elevator capacity. In this case it is important not to
reduce airspeed below required minimum vREF during the
approach for landing, especially at loading conditions with
forward locations of the center of gravity.
END OF CHECKLIST
NOTE
Refer to Section 4A.6.12 - APPROACH & LANDING if
OÄM 42-195 is carried out and for landings with a mass up
to 1700 kg (3748 lb).
Perform landing approach according to Section 4A.6.12 - APPROACH & LANDING, but
maintain an increased airspeed during final landing approach.
END OF CHECKLIST
5. PERFORMANCE
5.1 INTRODUCTION
The performance tables and diagrams on the following pages are presented so that, on
the one hand, you can see what performance you can expect from your airplane, while
on the other they allow comprehensive and sufficiently accurate flight planning. The values
in the tables and the diagrams were obtained in the framework of the flight trials using
an airplane and power-plant in good condition, and corrected to the conditions of the
International Standard Atmosphere (ISA = 15 EC / 59 °F and 1013.25 hPa / 29.92 inHg
at sea level).
The performance diagrams do not take into account variations in pilot experience or a
poorly maintained airplane. The performances given can be attained if the procedures
quoted in this manual are applied, and the airplane has been well maintained.
In order to illustrate the influence of a number of different variables, the performance data
is reproduced in the form of tables or diagrams. These contain sufficiently detailed
information so that conservative values can be selected and used for the determination
of adequate performance data for the planned flight.
For temperatures, altitudes and weights between those provided, use a linear interpolation
between the neighboring values.
For operation in outside air temperature lower than provided in these tables, use data
for lowest temperature shown.
Use extreme caution for operation at outside air temperature higher than provided in the
tables (areas are indicated with a diagonal line).
NOTE
The position of the landing gear (extended/retracted) has no
significant influence on the airspeed indicator system.

CAUTION
The calculated stalling speeds may be higher than the
maximum approved / limiting flap-extended and / or
maneuvering airspeeds.
Conditions:
The following factors are to be applied to the computed take-off distance for the noted
condition:
- Grass runway, longer than 25 cm (9.8 in): A take-off should not be attempt.
- Grass runway, wet: Increase the dry grass runway
distance calculation by 10%.
- Soft ground: Increase the ground roll by 45% (in
addition to the grass runway distance
calculation, if applicable)
WARNING
For a safe take-off the available runway length must be at
least equal to the take-off distance over a 50 ft (15 m)
obstacle.
WARNING
Poor maintenance condition of the airplane, deviation from
the given procedures, uneven runway, as well as unfavorable
external factors ( rain, unfavorable wind conditions, including
cross-wind) will increase the take-off distance.
CAUTION
The factors in the above corrections are typical values. On
wet ground or wet soft grass covered runways the take-off
roll may become significantly longer than stated above. In any
case the pilot must allow for the condition of the runway to
ensure a safe take-off.
NOTE
The effect of 50% of the headwind component and 150% of
the tailwind component is already incorporated in the head-
and tailwind factors.
Conditions:
The climb performance tables show the rate of climb. The gradient of climb can be

Example:
Time, fuel and distance to climb at airfield: 2 min, 0.5 US gal and 3 NM (1)
Time, fuel and distance to climb at cruise: 14 min, 3.8 US gal and 24 NM (2)
Subtract (1) from (2) to obtain time, fuel and distance to climb from airfield to cruise:
Time to cruise altitude: 14 min - 2 min = 12 min
Fuel to cruise altitude: 3.8 US gal - 0.5 US gal = 3.3 US gal
Distance to cruise altitude: 24 NM - 3 NM = 21 NM

Conditions:
The following factors are to be applied to the computed landing distance for the noted
condition:
- Grass runway, dry, 5 cm (2 in) long: Increase the ground roll by 10%.
- Grass runway, wet or soft runway: Increase the ground roll by 10%.
WARNING
For a safe landing the available runway length must be at
least equal to the landing distance over a 50 ft (15 m)
obstacle.
WARNING
Poor maintenance condition of the airplane, deviation from
the given procedures, uneven runway, as well as unfavorable
external factors (rain, unfavorable wind conditions, including
cross-wind) will increase the landing distance.
CAUTION
The factors in the above corrections are typical values. On
wet ground or wet soft grass covered runways the landing
distance may become significantly longer than stated above.
In any case the pilot must allow for the condition of the runway
to ensure a safe landing.
NOTE
The effect of 50% of the headwind component and 150% of
the tailwind component is already incorporated in the head-
and tailwind factors.

The DA 42 is equipped with an electrically operated actuator that limits the elevator-up
travel to 13° as soon as the power setting of both engines exceeds approximately 20 %
(approach power setting). This is 2.5° less than the 15.5° full deflection.
The linear actuator acts as a movable stop and is controlled by two switches, one for each
POWER lever. When the power of one engine is reduced below approximately 20 %, full
elevator deflection is regained.
An amber annunciation (CAUTION) on the G1000 display is provided to inform the pilot
in case a malfunction occurs. The annunciation illuminates when the variable stop should
be in place and is actually not activated (power on condition) or should be retracted and
actually limits the elevator travel (power off condition).
There are two Thielert Aircraft Engines TAE125-02-114 installed, which have the following
principal specifications:
Displacement:
Max. power: 114 kW (155 DIN-HP) at 2300 RPM at sea level and ISA
Max. continuous power: 114 kW (155 DIN-HP) at 2300 RPM at sea level and ISA
Each engine is liquid cooled. The liquid cooling system consists of a radiator and a bypass
to this radiator. The bypass is in operation when coolant temperatures are low. It therefore
allows the engine to warm-up quickly. Upon reaching a certain temperature (approximately
88 °C or 190 °F) the radiator is activated by a thermostat valve. Additionally a coolant
to air heat exchanger is provided for the cabin heat system. The flow through the heat
exchanger is independent of the coolant temperature. An expansion tank helps to adjust
the pressure in the system. The system is protected against overpressure by means of
a pressure relief valve.

The engine lubrication is a wet sump lubrication system. The engine oil is cooled by an
integrated oil/coolant heat exchanger which is part of the engine.
A dip-stick is provided to check the oil quantity through an inspection hole in the upper
cowling.
The second oil circuit lubricates the gearbox and serves the propeller as well as the
propeller regulating system.
The gearbox oil system incorporates an oil/coolant heat exchanger to cool gearbox oil.
The gearbox oil quantity can be checked with the help of an inspection glass which can
be reached through an inspection hole on the front side of the lower cowling.
CAUTION
If the gearbox oil quantity is too low, an unscheduled
maintenance is necessary (for approved oil grades refer to
Section 2.4 - POWER-PLANT LIMITATIONS).
No change.
