Aircraft Systems
Engine
The Da20 C-1 is equipped with a Continental, 4-cylinder, IO-240-B (Fuel injected, opposed,
239.8 cubic inch) engine rated at 125 horsepower at 2800 RPM. The engine is direct drive
(crankshaft connected directly to the propeller), horizontally opposed (pistons oppose each
other), piston driven, Fuel injected and normally aspirated (no turbo or supercharging). Engine
ignition is provided through the use of engine-driven magnetos, which are independent of the
aircraft's electrical system and each other and utilize impulse coupling.



C Continental IO 240

H Horizontally Opposed 4 cylinder 

A Air Cooled

N Normally Aspirated

D Direct Drive

Oil
The Acceptable range for oil in the DA20 C-1 is 4–6 quarts. 

Never depart with the oil indicating below 4 quarts.

Use only oil approved by the flight school, never use open oil containers and risk
contamination. The engine has high pressure wet sump lubrication. The oil is pumped by a
mechanical, engine driven pump. An oil dipstick indicates the level of oil in the tank. The
dipstick is marked for US quarts.
Propeller
The DA20 C-1 is equipped with a Sensenich two-bladed, Fixed pitch, Wood Propeller with a
diameter of 76 inches. Maximum RPM (red line) is 2800 RPM.

Landing Gear
The DA20 C-1 is equipped with Fixed tricycle type landing gear. The main gear is mounted to
aluminum spring struts mounted to the fuselage below the wings. A castering nose wheel
mounted on the front of the aircraft steers 60 degrees either side. 

apply rudder or brake pressure)

Instructors Note: Castering means
the nose gear is not connected to the
ruder pedals, it simply turns when
we apply rudder or brake pressure.

Brakes
The Hydraulically operated disc brakes act on the wheels of the main landing gear. The wheel
brakes are operated individually using the toe-brake pedals either on the pilot's or on the
copilot's side. If either the left or right wheel brake system on the pilot’s side fail, the co-
pilot’s brakes fail too. If the co-pilots brake master cylinder or input lines to the pilots master
cylinder fails the pilots brakes will still operate.

The Parking Brake knob is located on the center console in front of the throttle quadrant, and
is pushed up when the brakes are to be released. To set the parking brake, pull the knob down
to the stop. Repeated pushing of the toe-brake pedals will build up the required brake
pressure, which will remain in effect until the parking brake is released.

Flaps
The DA20 C-1 is equipped with Electric Plain flaps with 3 positions 0, Take off, Landing
controlled by a three position flap operating switch on the instrument panel. The electric flap
actuator is protected by a circuit breaker (5 Amp), located on the right side of the instrument
panel, which can be manually tripped to disable the system.

Pitot static system.

The pitot pressure is measured on the leading edge of a Pitot mast below the left wing. The
static pressure is measured by the same mast. For protection against water and humidity, water
sumps are installed within the line. These water sumps are accessible beneath the left seat
shell.
Stall warning horn.
A stall warning horn, located in the left instrument panel, will operate at a minimum airspeed
of 5kts before a stall. The horn grows louder as the speed approaches the stall speed. The horn
is activated by air from a suction hose that connects to a hole in the leading edge of the left
wing. The hole has a red circle around it. The stall warning hole should be plugged whenever
the aircraft is parked to prevent contamination and subsequent malfunction of the stall
warning system.

Fuel System.
The aluminum tank is located behind the seats, below the baggage compartment. It holds a
total of 24.5 gallons of 100LL, 24 of which are usable. A grounding stud is located on the
under side of the fuselage near the trailing edge of the left hand wing The tank vent line runs
from the filler neck through the fuselage bottom skin to the exterior of the airplane. The vent
line is the translucent plastic hose adjacent to the left wing root. The tank has an integral sump
which must be drained prior to each flight, by pushing up on the brass tube which protrudes
through the underside of the fuselage.

Fuel is gravity fed from these outlets to a filter bowl (gascolator) and then to the electric fuel
pump. The filter bowl must be drained prior to each flight, by pushing up on the black rubber
tube that protrudes through the underside of the fuselage. An electric fuel pump primes the
engine for engine starting (Prime ON) and is used for low throttle operations (Fuel Pump
ON). When the pump is OFF, fuel flows through the pump's internal bypass. From the electric
pump, fuel is delivered to the engine's mechanical fuel pump by the fuel supply line. Fuel is
metered by the fuel control unit

The DA20-C1 is equipped with a DUKES constant flow, vane type, two speed, and electric
fuel pump. This pump emits an audible whine when it is switched on. The pump's high speed
setting is used for priming the engine prior to engine start. The prime setting is selected by
turning the FUEL PRIME switch ON. An amber annunciator indicates that FUEL PRIME ON
is selected. The pump's low speed setting is required for maintaining positive fuel supply
system pressures at low throttle settings approx. 1000RPM and less. Turning the priming
pump on while the engine is running, will enriches the mixture considerably. which may cause
rough engine operation or engine stoppage. It is therefore recommended that for normal
operations, the FUEL PRIME be turned OFF.

Electrical System.
A 12 V battery is connected to the master bus via the battery circuit breaker (50 Amps). The
40 amp. generator is attached to the engine near the propeller hub. The generator feeds the
main bus via the generator circuit breaker (50 Amps). Both circuit breakers can be triggered
manually. The generator warning light is activated by an internal voltage regulator monitoring
circuit and illuminates when a generator fault occurs.

The voltmeter indicates the status of the electrical bus. It consists of a dial that is marked
numerically from 8 - 16 volts in divisions of 2.

The scale is divided into three colored arcs to indicate the seriousness of the bus condition.
These arcs are:

Red.................for 8.0 - 11.0 volts, 


Yellow ............. for 11.0 - 12.5 volts, 

Green ............. for 12.5 - 16.0 volts,

Redline ........... at 16.1 volts.

The ammeter indicates the charging (+) and discharging (-) of the battery. It consists of a dial,
which is marked numerically from -60 to 60 amps The generator warning light (red)
illuminates during generator failure, no output from the generator 

The only remaining power source is the battery (20 amps. for 30 minutes)

Ignition System.
The engine is provided with two independent ignition systems. The two engine driven
magnetos are independent from the power supply system, and are in operation as soon as the
propeller is turning and the ignition switch is not off. This ensures safe engine operation even
in case of an electrical power failure.

Garmin G500 System.
The G500 is comprised of six main components:
Primary Flight Display (PFD, left) and Multi-Function Display (MFD, right)
Attitude Heading Reference System (AHRS)
Air Data Computer (ADC)
Magnetometer
Temperature Probe 

And a Garmin GNS 430 GPS 

The PFD (left) shows primary flight information in place of traditional pitot- static and
gyroscopic instruments, and also provides an HSI for navigation.

The Attitude Heading Reference System (AHRS) contains tilt sensors, accelerometers, and
rate sensors similar to our modern cell phones to provide attitude and heading information on
the PFD.


The Air Data Computer (ADC) compiles information from the pitot-static system and an
outside air temperature sensor to provide pressure altitude, airspeed, vertical speed, and
outside air temperature on the PFD. 

The magnetometer senses the earth's magnetic field and sends data to the AHRS for
processing to determine the aircrafts magnetic heading. 

The temperature probe provides outside air temperature (OAT) data to the ADC. The Garmin
GNS 430 GPS provides input to the AHRS and PFD/MFD.
G500 equipped Diamonds do not have a conventional turn coordinator. A slip- skid indicator
is located at the top of the attitude indicator. Step on the “brick” instead of the “ball”. Use the
reference lines and the magenta line that appears above the heading indicator to identify a
standard rate or half-standard rate turn. Outside air temperature (OAT) displays on PFD under
the airspeed tape. Ground track can be identified on the heading indicator by a small magenta
diamond near the lubber line (only visible when ground track is different than heading). The
digital altitude and airspeed readouts are very sensitive and can cause some pilots to
continuously make corrections for insignificant deviations.

 Landing Procedures.
VFR Landing briefing procedure.
Announce verbally

1. Type of Approach & Landing Runway 3. Wind Direction & Speed Pattern Altitude

2. Aiming & Touchdown Point 4. Go-Around Criteria & Plan


Example: “This will be a normal flaps full landing on runway 13 with an intended
touchdown point of the one thousand foot markers, aiming point will be 3 stripes prior, we
can expect a left crosswind of 5 knots”.

stabilized Approach 

Definition: A stabilized approach is one in which the pilot establishes and maintains a
constant angle glide-path towards a predetermined point on the landing runway. It is based
on the pilot’s judgment of certain visual cues, and depends on a constant final descent
airspeed and configuration (FAA-H-8083- 3A, p.8-7).

Approach Gust factors.

Slightly higher approach speeds should be used under turbulent or gusty wind conditions.
Add 1⁄2 the gust factor to the normal approach speed. For example, if the wind is reported 8
gusting to 18 knots, the gust factor is 10 knots. Add 1⁄2 the gust factor, 5 knots in this
example, to the normal approach speed.

9. maintain pitch by applying constant back pressure
10. Maintain coordination at all times
11. Recognize and announce symptoms of approaching stall
12. Sight, sound, feel
13. Stall warning horn activates
14. Aerodynamic buffeting

Recovery procedure
1. Reduce the Angle of Attack
2. Level the wings using coordinated rudder and aileron
3. Gradually apply full power
4. Stop Descent
5. Retract flaps to T/O
6. Establish a shallow climb (100 – 200 FPM)
7. At positive rate of climb and approaching 65 KIAS
8. Retract flaps to CRUISE
9. Climb at 75 KIAS to initial altitude
10. Complete both CLIMB and CRUISE checklists after leveling off
Note: If engine appears to drop below 1,000 RPM, add throttle to ensure engine will not stop.
 Ground Reference Maneuvers.
NOTE: All ground reference maneuvers are performed at 1,000’ AGL, and are entered
on a downwind leg simulating traffic pattern altitude and are performed in the “Clean”
configuration. Before descending for the maneuver it is important to visually scan the
area for obstructions and a safe landing spot incase an emergency landing is necessary.

Ground reference maneuvers are done in the clean configuration at 1000’ AGL and
90kts mimicking the traffic pattern.
Clean Configuration
Flaps - 0
Mixture - Full Rich
Fuel Pump - ON
Landing Light - ON
PTS Requirements ALT +/- 100’ Speed +/- 10 kts
Rectangular Course
1. Set power to maintain an airspeed of 90kts
2. Maneuver is performed 1,000 AGL
3. Enter the maneuver 45 to the downwind with the first circuit to the left
Downwind
1. Roll wings level, parallel to the boundary
2. Maintain distance (about 1⁄2 mile) from boundary
3. At field boundary edge, turn first crosswind leg
4. Start with steep bank
5. Reduce bank angle gradually during the turn
First Crosswind Leg (Crosswind)
1. Roll out, wings level crabbing toward the boundary
2. Manage crab angle to maintain 1⁄2 mile distance from boundary
3. At field boundary edge, turn upwind
4. Start with medium bank
5. Reduce bank angle gradually during the turn as ground speed decreases Upwind
6. Roll wings level, parallel to the boundary
7. At field boundary edge, turn second crosswind leg
8. Start with shallow bank
9. Increase bank angle gradually during the turn as ground speed increases
Second Crosswind Leg (Base)
1. Roll out wings level, crabbing away from the boundary
2. Manage crab angle to maintain 1⁄2 mile distance from boundary
3. At field boundary edge, turn downwind
4. Start with moderate bank
Increase bank angle gradually during the turn as ground speed increases
