Aircraft of the PA 34 series have a fixed GRP(glass reinforced plastic) nose fairing which also forms the structural boundary of the forward baggage hold. The hold is accessed via a hinged door on the left side of the fairing. The fairing also houses the bay for the retracted nosewheel, the aircraft battery bay, the power pack for landing gear operation and a number of other aircraft systems components. 4, record 1, English, - nose%20fairing

L'histoire reprenait vie et nous en faisions partie, alors que nous regardions par le cadre métallique du poste de pilotage et autour du carénage avant surélevé avec la même vision que d'autres jeunes aviateurs, il y a quelque 60 ans de cela. 1, record 1, French, - car%C3%A9nage%20avant

A double pyrotechnic system is used to separate the fairing. The vertical separation system, which is the same as that designed for the Ariane 4, splits the fairing in two when it separates from the launcher. It has a pyrotechnic cord incorporated into one side of the shell edge and this is bolted to the other half of the shell. When the cord is detonated, it sections the bolt and a flexible fully sealed sleeve pushes the other half of the shell away. 3, record 2, English, - vertical%20separation%20system
