CAUTION

The DA 42 is a twin engine airplane. When the operating

limitationsandmaintenancerequirementsarecompliedwith,

it has the high degree of reliability which is required by the

certification basis. Nevertheless, an engine failure is not

completely impossible. For this reason it is highly recom-

mended for flights during the night, on top, under IMC, or

aboveterrainwhichisunsuitableforalanding,toselectflight

timesandflightroutessuchthatreducedperformanceincase

of single engine operation does not constitute a risk.

1.2 CERTIFICATION BASIS

The certification basis is JAR-23, published on 11-Mar-1994, including Amdt. 1, and

additional requirements as laid down in CRI A-01.
