Ground handling
8.4.1
Towing
To handle the airplane on the ground, use the Tow Bar, or the fuselage
rear pushed down in the place of a bulkhead.
CAUTION
Avoid excessive pressure at the airplane airframe-especially at control
surfaces. Keep all safety precautions, especially in the propeller area.
8.4.2
Parking
It is advisable to park the airplane inside a hangar or alternatively inside
any other suitable space with stable temperature, good ventilation, low
humidity and dust-free environment.
It is necessary to moor the airplane when it is parked outside a hangar.
Also when parking for a long time, cover the cockpit canopy, possibly the
whole airplane by means of a suitable tarpaulin.
8.4.3
Mooring
The airplane should be moored when parked outside a hangar after the
flight day. The mooring is necessary to protect the airplane against
possible damage caused by wind and gusts.
For this reason, the aircraft is equipped with tie-down points located on
the lower surfaces of the wings. The installation is a pan-fitting ring which
can be swivelled up for flight and down for parking and mooring.
Mooring procedure:
1. Flaps up
2. All electric switches off
3. Fuel Selector shut off
4. Fix the controls. For control stick fixation use safety harness.
NOTE
Locking controls on the pilot side means that ground gust loads on
control surfaces will be transmitted through the entire control system
potentially causing non detected damage. Therefore, locking at the
control surface with adequate locks featuring “remove before flight”
warning is recommended
5. Close air vents
6. Close and lock canopy
7. Cover static ports and pitot tube
