Door lock cylinder

Post by DA40KPAO »

This has happened to me twice since I got the plane.

A few weeks ago, the door lock cylinder for the front canopy came off. No idea where and could be inflight... I got the replacement part and had it fixed.

Then just a few days ago, the door lock cylinder for the rear door fell off. Also no idea where... :(

Has anyone experienced this before? Any ideas on how to make sure this doesn't keep happening?

I'm having an issue with the rear door lock cylinder, too. Where did you find a replacement?

Thanks

Let me ask my club mechanic on where he got the replacement part. I'll get back to you soon.

Yes, that happened. DA42, but same story. Tbh I felt it was a bit loose before I lost it. Not sure, if this is always the case...

Sorry for the very late reply on this. I finally got the PN detail. It's P/N 3802-0022.
