NOTE
It is recommended to use parking brake (if installed) for short-time
parking only, between flights during a flight day. After ending the flight
day or at low temperatures of ambient air, do not use parking brake,
but use the wheel chocks instead.
NOTE
Use anchor eyes on the wings and fuselage rear section to fix the
airplane. Move control stick forward and fix it together with the rudder
pedals. Make sure that the cockpit canopy is properly closed and
locked. The anchoring before leaving the airplane is important if the
airplane is not equipped with a parking brake.

qualities and performance are not substantially changed. However
VMC must be maintained.
