Tie-down
The aircraft should be tied down when parked outside a hangar.
Mooring is necessary to protect the aircraft against possible damage
caused by wind and gusts.
For this reason the aircraft is equipped with mooring eyes located on
the lower surfaces of the wings and (one) under the tail.
Mooring procedure:
1.
Check: Fuel selector shut off, circuit breakers and Master switch
switched off.
2. Check: Magnetos switched off.
3. Secure the control column(s)(using for example a safety harness).
4. Close air vent.
5. Close and lock canopy.
6. Moor the aircraft to the ground by means of a mooring rope passed
through the mooring eyes located on the lower surfaces of the
wings and below the rear fuselage.
NOTE
In the case of long term parking, especially during winter, it is
recommended to cover the cockpit canopy, or possibly the whole
aircraft, by means of a suitable tarpaulin attached to the airframe.
