SERVICING
In addition to the airplane inspection periods (8.2) information for servicing the aircraft with
proper oil and fuel is covered in Section 2 (Limitations) and Section 7 (Description and
Operation).

GROUND HANDLING
a) Due to its low weight and the free swiveling tail wheel two persons can easily move the
airplane by hand.
b) To tie down the airplane ring plates are provided at the wing tips. The tail wheel leg can be
used as third point to tie down the airplane.
If the aircraft is parked in the open, it must be protected against the effects of weather, the
degree of protection depending on severity of the weather conditions and the expected
duration of the parking period. When the airplane is parked in good weather conditions for
less than a half day park the aircraft headed into the wind and place wheel chocks at the
main wheels.
c) To level the aircraft, the tail wheel is placed on a balance and jacked to such a position
that the fuselage reference line (upper fuselage stringer tube) is horizontal. There are two
engine hoists provided on the top of the engine which can be used to lift the airplane with a
crane. (Tail wheel resting on ground)
