12.10.CLEANING AND CARE
Always use appropriate cleaning agents (e.g. mild soap) and water to clean airplane surface. Harsh
abrasives or alkaline soaps or detergents could make scratches on painted or plastic surfaces. Oil and fat
spots can be removed from the airplane surface (except windshield and windows!) by suitable
detergents, possibly by petrol. Avoid direct pouring of water on components like engine air intake and
exhaust, fuel reservoir caps, parachute rescue system cover, pitot tube, static probe, and engine covers.
The windshield and windows only to be cleaned by washing with ample stream of lukewarm water with
addition of appropriate detergents, using soft rag, sponge or wash-leather. Use suitable polishing agent
after wiping rests of water.
The instrument panel and control knobs need only to be wiped clean with a soft damp cloth. The
multifunction display, primary flight display, and other electronic display screens should be cleaned with
LCD Screen Cleaning Solution.
The airplane interior can be cleaned with a mild detergent or soap and water. Harsh abrasives or alkaline
soaps or detergents should be avoided.
Leatherette upholstery should be wiped with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a mix of mild
detergent and water. Do not use soaps as they contain alkaline which will cause the leather to age
prematurely. The carpets may be cleaned like any household carpet.
