7.11.4 Wheel Fairings
It is important that no dirt or snow accumulate underneath the wheel pants. For this
reason the Aquila AT01-100 can be operated with either full wheel pants (high-speed),
with mud guards (soft-field), or without any wheel fairings. The aircraft can also be flown
with a combination of wheel fairings, as long as the left and right main wheels have the
same fairing.
NOTE
Flying without any kind of wheel fairing increases the chance of damage due to stones
which, in turn, may lead to extensive, unscheduled maintenance work.
NOTE
Flying without any wheel fairings or with mud guards reduces performance up to 10%.
