8.7  FLYABLE STORAGE 

Airplanes placed in a non-operational storage for a maximum of 30 days are con-
sidered in flyable storage status.  Every seventh day during these periods, the pro-
peller should be rotated by hand through at least five revolutions; this action lim-
bers the oil and prevents any accumulation of corrosion on engine cylinder walls. 
For maximum safety check, that the ignition switch is OFF, the throttle is CLOSED, 
and the airplane is secured before rotating the propeller by hand.  After 30 days 
the airplane should be flown for 30 minutes or a ground run-up should be made 
just long enough to produce an oil temperature within the lower green arc range. 
Engine run-up also helps to eliminate excessive accumulations of water in the fuel 
system and other air spaces in the engine. Keep fuel tank full to minimize conden-
sation in the tank.
