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?

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

Re: Door lock cylinder
Let me ask my club mechanic on where he got the replacement part. I'll get back to you soon.pietromarx wrote:I'm having an issue with the rear door lock cylinder, too. Where did you find a replacement?

Re: Door lock cylinder
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...DA40KPAO wrote:Then just a few days ago, the door lock cylinder for the rear door fell off. Also no idea where...
