4.2.2
De-Rigging:
Derigging follows the reverse of rigging.
Waterballast must be dumped first.
Airbrakes should be locked.
Note:
It is also possible to de-rig with the airbrakes not locked. In such case you
have to make sure that the airbrakes won’t be damaged in the trailer in case they
extend due to vibrations. It is not necessary to lock the airbrakes for rigging
Disassembling the wing tips:
Use a 6 mm diameter pin for pressing in the locking pin on the wing’s upper
surface. Pull out the wing tips.
Only LS10-st
Push the fuel vent surge bottle onto the fuel vent line (bottom side of the
fuselage).
Close fuel shut-off valve.
Note:
During road-transport with full fuel tank fuel may spill via the carburettors
or via the ventilation line. To avoid this the fuel shut-off valve should be
closed during de-rigging and the fuel vent surge bottle installed.
