Parking
It is advisable to park the aircraft inside a hangar or eventually inside a weather-proof space with stable temperature,
good ventilation, low humidity and a dust-free environment. The parking place should be protected against possible
damage caused by sun radiation, humidity and wind. Sunbeams reflected through the canopy can generate spot
heating and damage the cockpit area and the upholstery (Fig. 8-1).
For short term parking, the aircraft must be orientated in headwind direction, the parking brake must be engaged, the
wing flaps must be in the retracted position, pitch trim fully forward and the wheels must be chocked.
For extended and unattended parking, as well as in unpredictable wind conditions, in areas where a danger of
propwash from another aircraft or helicopter is present, the aircraft must be tied down to the ground or placed in a
hangar.
For parking, head the aircraft into the wind if possible.
WARNING
Parking the aircraft with canopy open and tail directed towards
the sun can cause damage in the cockpit area!
