Are wheel fairings removable?

Are wheel fairings removable?

• A. Yes
• B. Not specified
• C. No
• D. Only with maintenance access

Answer: (A)

Wheel fairings are meant to provide aerodynamic benefit while still giving easy access to the wheel and brake area when needed. In the DA20-C1, the wheel pants are attached with removable fasteners, so they can be taken off for maintenance, tire replacement, or brake inspections. This design lets you access the components without removing the gear or doing major disassembly, and they must be reinstalled securely before flight. So, they are removable. The other options aren’t needed here because they imply a fixed or unspecified condition, which isn’t how these fairings are treated.
