Variants and engines
The maintenance manual covers the DA 40 (Lycoming IO-360-M1A), DA 40 D (TAE diesel) and DA 40 F (Lycoming O-360-A4M). Checklists exist for the DA40-180 G1000, DA40 TDI, DA40 NG and DA40 NG NXi. The G1000 supplement covers the DA 40 and DA 40 F. Jet fuel is heavier than avgas: 0,8 versus 0,72 kg per litre.
Weights and paperwork
The AFM carries temporary revisions that override the manual. Two are TR-MAM-40-227 (1200 kg maximum take-off mass) and TR-MAM-40-123/d (1150 kg maximum landing mass). Check which ones apply to the airframe. The AFM introduction is Revision 5 (09-Sep-2001). It says second-hand owners should give Diamond their address to receive current publications.
Preflight points to check
The DA40-180 checklist calls for main tire pressure of 2,5 bar and nose tire pressure of 2,0 bar. It also calls for engine oil of at least 5 qts, fuel sump and strainer drains, a stall warning check and a pitot heat check. The DA40 NG checklist adds an alert for low fuel temperature, below -25°C.
